About Me

Hi, as I have been journeying with a variety of directees over the past few years it has been a joy to watch God do amazing transformational work in their lives. If you are interested in experiencing the power of God transform you into the person He has created you to be and are willing to take the time to be intentional about developing some new spiritual practices in your life, then I would encourage you to invite a spiritual director to walk with you on your journey with God. If you live in my area I would love to meet with you, or even to connect through Skype or FaceTime.

I am a Certified Spiritual Director with CCPC Global and I am also on the board with Tyndale Association of Spiritual Directors. In the fall of 2017 I developed a Spiritual Formation Academy for believers in our church who had a desire to take their relationship with God to a new level. I would love to be able to introduce this academy to your church or a group of your Christian friends who are willing to commit to a 9 month Spiritual Transformation plan.

I am also a trained counselor and Pastor at Huron Park Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ontario. I have a wife, Carol, and 2 grown-up daughters. I have written 2 books, which can be found on Amazon. My latest book is titled "Love Redeemed" and it takes a Spiritual formation look at the Song of Songs as well as providing some practical insights for couples.

About Me

For me, spiritual direction is similar to going home once a month - I get to sit on the front porch with my Dear Ones and have an unhurried conversation about how we are doing together. In sessions with directees, I seek to be a gentle companion, holding the door open for recognizing and responding to God's movement in their lives.

My background includes a Masters in Agency Counseling and work as a bereavement counselor; I recently completed the Selah Certificate in Spiritual Direction. I am also a graduate of the Renovare Institute for Spiritual Formation. I enjoy reading, gardening, experiencing spiritual community, and spending time with our family of young adults and their spouses.

About Me

I received my training as a spiritual director at The Institute of Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology. I also have a certificate in Bereavement and Grief Counseling. I am especially interested in the the ways God communicates with us through music, art, photography, literature, iconography, and nature.

I believe that God is always speaking; that it is his deep desire that we continually grow in our awareness of his profound love and his intense interest in every detail of our lives.

It would be an honor to listen to you and to listen with you.

About Me

Hi! I’m Sarah, and it is an absolute joy for me to come alongside others as they journey with Jesus - whether they are on the mountaintop, in the valley, or somewhere in between.

As a spiritual director, I have the privilege of holding open space for others so they can slow down from the busy pace of life and have protected time to be present to the Lord. My desire is to create a safe atmosphere where others can explore the landscape of their inner life, and find God’s presence in unexpected places in their own day to day circumstances.

I received my two-year certificate in spiritual direction from Sustainable Faith School of Spiritual Direction, and completed training with Larry Warner to accompany others through the Ignatian exercises.

I have been married since 2011. I enjoy spin and studio fitness classes, being in nature, music, baking, creating and appreciating art, and soaking in the beauty all around me.

About Me

Today the Lord will connect us, not by accident, but by design. Your life is not one of chance or void of meaning. Just like my life, what seemed to be an accidental life of ups and downs, hurts and loneliness, was not accidental at all, it was God’s story unfolding and preparing me for His call on my life.

I’m that person who lived a life outside of the church, who didn’t grow up knowing Jesus Christ, but who was loved by Jesus Christ just the same. Jesus called me into relationship with him at the age of 33 and He made me new. I’ve been on a long journey with Christ and He alone has carefully directed my every step and has called me to serve his church and to love the people of his church in a unique way.

I have a deep passion for women who are either new to their faith or have been in a faith community for sometime but sense something is missing. They have a longing for more but aren’t quite sure how to satisfy that longing. Many describe this longing as an ache of the soul, a disturbance within their spirit, a wrestling of emotions stealing away any sense of inner peace. I know this feeling all too well, but I also know where this leads. This is not a journey to take alone; you need a safe place and a trusted listener who can help you see where the Lord is leading you.

I received my spiritual formation and direction certificate from Moody Bible Institute while working full time in church leadership. My life experience before knowing Christ and life change after meeting Christ, along with years of experience working on church staff and in ministry, gives me a unique mix of gifts to minister as a Spiritual Director.

It is my joy and privilege to journey with you as you seek to see God, to hear from God, and to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit, not just in the present, but also in the past.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:7-10

About Me

As co-founder of The Refuge Retreat Center, I provide spiritual care to lay leaders, missionaries and pastors through spiritual direction and retreats. My passion is to see people grow in their walk with the Lord as they realize more of who they are now and see who the Lord wants them to be. I have been a spiritual director since 2006. My wife, Jennifer, and I have been married since 2002, and we have two daughters, Ellie and Kate.

About Me

I am delighted to say that I am a graduate of the Institute for Spiritual Formation with an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology. It took eight long years to complete this degree in May 2016. I started on this journey while our church was struggling and I was completely dry spiritually. My soul needed the refreshment of being loved and known by other believers as I walked towards the reality of my true identity in Christ. Initially I admit that I was resistant and was unaware of my deep need for healing but I eventually began to see how God could use me in my brokenness to grow more in love with Him.
My passion is to meet with those seeking the Lord for understanding as they journey through the normal activities of life. I believe that spiritual direction is a slow process of uncovering one’s real identity as a beloved child of God and learning to listen to His calling. I treasure the time that I can be another as we sit with God while the Spirit does the directing. Listening is a gift. To be seen and known by another is truly a gift from God.
Currently, I work full time as a registered nurse. I have had the joy of raising two adult children with my husband of 30 years. I am also a pastor’s wife which allows me a particular awareness of the needs of church leadership. I have served as a missionary overseas understanding the unusual needs of believers that are working cross culturally. I had the pleasure of walking alongside others as they seek God for about 6 years.

About Me

The mystery of God's presence with each of us, is the hope that guides me as a spiritual director. I am an ordained pastor in The Wesleyan Church, with a current appointment as a professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling in the School of Theology and Ministry at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, IN. I was trained in Spiritual Direction from Evangelical Mennonite Seminary and SELAH. Both programs helped me value a contemplative approach to Spiritual Direction. I believe that God graciously reveals Himself to those who seek Him. It is my deep privilege to walk beside men and women who are hungry to know God more fully.

About Me

I've been on staff at Sandals Church in Riverside, CA since 2009 and serve as the Spiritual Formation Pastor to all our campuses. My primary responsibilities are to teach spiritual formation within our leadership school, create spiritual formation content for the church, and to give spiritual direction to our campus pastors and other key church leaders.

I received my training from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot Seminary at Biola University. Prior to being in full-time ministry I spent a couple of decades in sales and business management.

I’m passionate about helping others to engage with God, especially in discerning the work of the Holy Spirit. As a pastor, I have a heart for working with individuals who are serving the church either as a volunteer or in some sort of staff capacity. It's a real joy to witness the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of others as they're being uniquely transformed into the image of Christ.

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Christina, since 1992. We have three amazing children whom we enjoy spending time with and are very proud of them. We spend a lot of our time with friends and community. We enjoy going to to the beach, local countryside, and eating delicious food. I'm originally from San Diego, CA and with that carry the burden of being a Padres and Chargers fan. I say it's a burden because they just don't seem to win very much.

About Me

The first time I met with a spiritual director, it felt like a homecoming. I realized, “This is who I am! And this is how I am, when I'm with people as together we listen to God!" That was over 20 years ago. Since then I’ve been offering spiritual direction to individuals and groups, having received my training through CFDM-Northwest, as well as training others to do the same, through Leadership Transformations’ Selah Certificate Program in spiritual direction. In addition to directing the Selah program, I serve as the Associate for Spiritual Formation at the Pierce Center for Discipleship at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (where I received both my MA and D.Min. degrees), and I lead retreats for church and parachurch groups. I live in Hamilton Massachusetts with my dear husband Dave, and we are graced with three grown children.

About Me

We live in a world that often seems loud and busy. As followers of Jesus, it can be difficult to recognize the still, small voice of God amidst the noise and activity. Spiritual direction provides an opportunity to slow down, to stop and listen to one another and to the Lord. As a spiritual director, my role / delight is to help you become more aware of how the Spirit of God is at work in and around you. As you become more able to discern the voice / movement of the Spirit, you will be better positioned to cooperate with the ongoing inner work of spiritual transformation leading toward maturity. Further, I believe the depth of one’s inner life / relationship with God determines the quality of our life / ministry with others. I enjoy working with anyone who wants to “go deeper.”

I received my certificate in spiritual direction through Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction. In addition, I have a Master’s in Biblical Studies from Regent University. I served 22 years as an Air Force officer and 11 years in full-time pastoral ministry. My wife, Judy, and I were married in 1981. We have three adult children and five awesome grandchildren.

About Me

My passion is to follow Jesus. In 1989 my wife and I followed the Lord to the jungles of Irian Jaya, Indonesia as a pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship. It was in the jungles of Indonesia that I learned how much God is always speaking and I was not ready to listen. After going through some difficult life changing events someone gave me a book, Hearing God by Dallas Willard, and that started me on a path of learning to listen to the Lord. My longing to hear God led me to pursue a degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Biola University. Now I love to help others learn to listen to the Holy Spirit. I have been a spiritual director since 2005. These experiences have prepared me to walk alongside anyone who desires to hear from the ever loving Father who is longing to communicate His love to us.

I am a member of Imago Christi, www.imagochristi.org, a protestant order of believers who practice living out the image of christ in everyday life and community. Our passion is to help others find greater intimacy with Jesus.

My wife and I have 4 adult children and 3 grandchildren. We love living in Idaho and enjoy hiking and camping and exploring God's creation.

About Me

I began my journey with spiritual direction in 2010, when I began to meet with my first director. I was driving two hours to meet her, because what I was seeking was not available near where I live. I was subsequently trained through HCM International, in the School of Spiritual Formation and the Art of Spiritual Direction, and have been assisting in the training of spiritual directors since completing the program. Greater intimacy with the Living Christ has become possible for me, through the sacred space of direction, and my hope is to provide the same space for others to hear God's whispers of love for them. I am a wife, a mother, and an Emergency Physician who regularly travels for medical missions. I have had the privilege of working with individuals, as well as small groups for group spiritual direction.

About Me

"Our heart is restless until it rests in You," - St. Augustine

The journey into our soul can be tiring, and the road through life is often rocky and painful. Is Jesus' burden really light? How can I hear the Spirit's voice and see Him at work in my life? Where is He? What is God doing in my life? These questions are invitations to a deeper relationship with God and spiritual direction is a place where help is available to dive into them.

Together, in spiritual direction, we can explore where God is at work in your life, and you can learn new ways to be open to Him so that you may know Him more deeply and know yourself more truthfully. One of the best parts of direction is that you don't have to be alone in your process. I desire to create a safe space to have honest conversations about how you are experiencing your life with God and the ways in which he might seem absent. I intend to listen deeply to your heart and the Holy Spirit’s work in your life and help you notice where God might be revealing himself to you in different ways. In direction, I have an emphasis on feeling -WITH- God, as I believe this builds a deeper trust and dependance on Him. I practice this by reflecting what you might be experiencing and feeling in the here and now. I often use imaginative prayer to help uncover what your deepest longings for God are throughout the direction session.

I completed my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology in 2018 and have been practicing spiritual direction since 2016. I have a varied denominational background (Vineyard, Non-Denominational, Anglican, and Methodist) which adds a wide range of faith expressions to my comprehensive understanding so there is nothing you might say that should surprise me regarding church experience. I have experience with Celebrate Recovery and 12-step programs, which can enrich the growth of those struggling in particular areas, as there is no part of our life that is outside of God's care and concern. I seek to support those in ministry, leadership, business, missionaries, the grieving, those beginning to explore the faith, or those simply wanting to grow spiritually with Jesus in simple ways. Using your dreams as an avenue of spiritual growth is also something that can be incorporated within the direction relationship.

I give spiritual direction at Biola for the Center for Spiritual Renewal and I also have a private practice for direction in Costa Mesa, California.

I am a So Cal native, with a 10-year stint on a farm in Montana. I am currently embracing my season/calling to singleness with close friends, and lots of books on spiritual growth and psychology. My current research topics include: celibacy as a vocation, anger, shame, spiritual friendship, trauma in the body, and attachment to God and parents.

About Me

I have always had a passion for soul care that is integrative in all aspects of life in my nursing, teaching, and ministry. I have a shepherd’s heart and a servant lifestyle. I received my Christian Formation and Spiritual Direction certificate from Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (CFDM) a two-year program. I have offered spiritual accompaniment for 12 years. I am a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University and received my Master’s at Fuller Theological Seminary Southwest where I taught Teaching for Christian Formation in the past and currently am a Formation Group Leader. I have been on staff at a large church, a small missional church and a mid-size church in my over 35 years of ministry. I am a member of the Board of two mission organizations where I serve an additional role as Spiritual Formation Director, Discernamentarian, Retreat Leader and Spiritual Director.

I am honored to join men and women, boards and staffs, who desire a deeper communion with God, revealed in Jesus Christ, as they discover God's love, transformative activity, and guidance in their lives and ministries. I offer spiritual accompaniment for individuals, couples and children to shape a life of faith through prayerful listening, scripture, relationship, discernment processes and various spiritual practices for an openness and responsiveness to God ...until Christ is formed in us!

About Me

I have been "spiritually-inclined" since I was a girl, walking out my faith with the Trinity. I have had many opportunities for leadership and mentoring throughout my walk, but the journey has been pointing toward spiritual direction from the beginning. My healing journey began in earnest in 2013, leading to certification in Spiritual Formation and the Art of Spiritual Direction through HCM International. Through my journey, the Lord has changed - and continues to change - my heart, enlarging my capacity for compassion and wisdom, as well as increasing my awareness of Him and my ability to listen to Him with others. It is an honor and a privilege to provide a safe space for listening as others share their sacred stories and explore the mystery of God in all things.

About Me

Before becoming a certified spiritual director through Sustainable Faith, I journeyed with missionaries, special needs students, and at-risk adults in my career and volunteering. My heart is for those particularly on ‘the fringes’ to know and embrace the tender love of the Beloved. I have been miraculously healed of various medical calamities shaping my faith and ideas of the Divine.

I continue to grow into a gentle, welcoming soul with a joyfully creative and child-like spirit primarily through spiritual practices. One of my favorite things is walking with those who long to know Abba’s immense love, beauty and grace more completely. Listening is a cherished honor and I long to do it with compassion and empathy.

My husband, Kenny, a licensed counselor specializing in trauma, and I live in Colorado. Together we have led worship and small groups and participated in prayer ministries in various church and ministry settings throughout our 25+ year marriage. I am blessed with 3 amazing step sons, 2 beautiful daughters-in-law and 2 grandchildren. I enjoy spending time in God’s creation, time with others, reading, singing, painting and dancing!

Kenny and I started Senseless Peace to assist those who are traumatized and those who work with the traumatized to find peace through trauma-informed therapy and spiritual praxis. Please visit our website: senselesspeace.org for more info.

About Me

I am Certified Spiritual Director from Moody Bible Institute. I also hold an Advanced Spiritual Formation Certificate from Moody Bible Institute and a B.A. in Psychology from Northwestern University. I am also Certified as an Enneagram Coach, which can serve as another tool for transformation. I have served on a church staff as the Director of Recovery, Care and Prayer, training lay leaders in a broad range of areas such as: sexual abuse recovery, boundaries, and spiritual wholeness. I enjoy creating a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for people to share their stories, struggles, and questions. As a companion on the journey, I will ask questions that will help you examine your heart so that you may see the reality of your life and measure it against your longings and God's invitations. My heart’s desire is for you to experience interior freedom so that you can become more aware of God’s presence and unconditional love. It is a privilege for me to companion others on their faith journeys and to discern together the work of the Holy Spirit.
