About Me

My walk with Jesus has has been a journey with many ups and downs. Twenty years ago, my life fell apart, and I was angry at God! Here is the amazing thing, it was at that point, my lowest point, that my faith begin to grow! It’s a long story, but I’ll just say, Jesus showed up in my pain. It was through Jesus that I could release my hurt, pain and bitterness to Him. It didn’t happen overnight, but through that process I’ve learned the gift of giving and receiving forgiveness, which actually opens your heart in ways I never dreamed possible. Through my desire to grow as a follower of Jesus, I discovered spiritual direction and felt called to learn more about this ministry.

I received my certification as a spiritual director through the School of Spiritual Direction with Sustainable Faith in 2021. The program was an intensive two year program which was life changing. I am a member of Spiritual Directors International (SDI) and ESDA. I follow their code of ethics in my practice, especially regard to confidentiality.

About Me

I delight in creating space for Holy Spirit and Directee to gather and linger and am continually humbled and grateful for each and every opportunity and moment to do so.
My ministry emphasis is women's spirituality; prayer as conversation with God; discovery of the sacred in the ordinary; the journey of grief; and end-of-life preparation and transition.
My experience includes Bible teacher and mentor, Chaplain, Support Group Facilitator (both Alzheimers and grief), retreat speaker and more.
I am a non-denominational, ordained minister and a certified spiritual director.
I can meet in person in some of the DFW area, or via Zoom or Google Meets.
There is no charge for the initial session.

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 have been a pastor for 31 years, mainly in the area of pastoral care. I also served in Brazil for 4 years, working with the poor and drug addicted. I have a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel Christian Seminary and a Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Leadership from Spring Arbor University. I have been trained in Spiritual Direction through both Sustainable Faith and the CenterQuest School of Spiritual Direction. My desire in retirement from full-time church ministry is to help people connect in a deeper way with God through spiritual direction. Perhaps you have been a faithful church member your whole life, but your love for God has you longing for "something more." Or maybe your picture of God as you grew up left you unsure if God was for you or against you, and you both fear and desire a deeper connection with Him.

I meet people both in person and by video, so location isn't an issue. I will meet with you for a "getting to know" session where we can both discern if this could be a good match for you.

My approach is decidedly contemplative, offering a spacious place for you to listen to God and discover what He has for you in this season of life.

About Me

As an ordained minister and pastor of 20+ years, I've become convinced that slowing down to intentionally listen for God with others on the spiritual journey is vital to our spiritual formation. Accepting the invitation to notice and discern with a spiritual director helps us to become more aware of God's presence throughout our days.
I was trained in the College Wesleyan Church Becoming a Spiritual Direction program and have a MDiv from Asbury Theological Seminary. As a spiritual director, I am privileged to partner with people in creating space to listen for God with a contemplative approach.

About Me

"Our real journey in life is interior, it is a matter of growth, deepening, and an ever-greater surrender to the creative action of love." ~Thomas Merton

My work as a spiritual director is to focus my attention on your spiritual experience and points of self-discovery, and to explore with you God's movement in your life. I will not try to analyze or fix you. Spiritual direction is a conversation of the heart directed by the Spirit of God. It uses all our human faculties (intuition, emotion, imagination, sense and intellect) to discern God's presence for you as you understand it. It's my deep honor and commitment to walk with you on this journey through deep listening and personal support. This creates a safe environment to openly and prayerfully explore Divine promptings and openings as you draw closer to God through conversation, listening, and prayer.

What do we talk about? Whatever is on your mind and in your heart. For instance, where are you experiencing transitions in your life? What is happening in your life that may separate you from living into deeper meaning? How is God present or absent in various facets of your life? Are you experiencing a change or shift that leaves you wondering about your faith and about how you know God? How does your prayer picture nurture intimacy with God? How does your church experience support your faith journey? What are the desires of your heart telling you?

I received my training and certification as a spiritual director from Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (CFDM) in Phoenix, AZ in 2013. You can easily contact me at my email or go directly to my website to schedule an appointment on-line. I look forward to welcoming you and listening with you on your faith journey.

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 love walking with others as they grow to engage God in the everyday. I have a special place in my heart for individuals who are willing to serve the church in any capacity. It's my joy to see God work in these individuals as they're being uniquely transformed to become like Jesus.

I've been on staff at Sandals Church since 2009. I serve as the church's Spiritual Formation Pastor. My primary responsibilities are to teach spiritual formation within our leadership development school, lead a team of people to create spiritual formation content, conversations and moments, and to offer regular spiritual direction to our campus pastors as well as other key church leaders. And of course, other duties as assigned, if you catch my drift.

In 1992 I married my high school sweetheart, Christina. We have three amazing adult children whom we enjoy spending time with. We are incredibly proud of them. My wife and I enjoy a balance of time between just the two of us and with friends whether we're at the beach, mountains, local wineries, or simply eating delicious food. I'm originally from San Diego, CA and with that carry the burden of being a Padres and Chargers fan (It's a burden because they just don't seem to win very much).

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 sales management.

About Me

Being a companion to someone as they sit with God, to listen and just be still is one of my greatest joys in life. For those who want spiritual companionship to focus more narrowly on one’s life in Christ, the movement of the Holy Spirit in his or her life, and developing a deeper relationship with God. Much of the work is about listening, God's invitations, prayer, discernment, and transformation. I have a particular interest in joining psychotherapists, those in vocational ministry and those who are grieving as they walk with God.

About Me

Offering, protecting, and nurturing attentive presence in which to listen to the presence and ways of our Triune God ~ what a graced ministry this is! It's a ministry and a grace that I've spent the past few decades enjoying, both in offering spiritual direction to individuals and in training others to do the same (through Leadership Transformations’ Selah Certificate Program in spiritual direction).

Over the years I've also offered retreat leadership and formation ministry to churches and parachurch ministries, including a co-curricular formation program at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (where I received my theological training). I have a particular heart for clergy and other ministry leaders, and I serve as affiliated clergy in the Anglican Diocese in New England. I live in Hamilton Massachusetts with my dear husband Dave, and we are graced with three grown and delightfully married children. (MA in Theological Studies, Christian Ed concentration - GCTS; DMin with a Spiritual Formation focus - GCTS; Spiritual Direction training through CFDM Pacific Northwest.)

About Me

Do you ever wonder, “What does it mean to actually live the kind of life God created us for and encourages us to live out?” In a world of traffic jams, looming deadlines, and budgets, how do we really quiet down and listen for that “still, small voice”? Is it even realistic to hope to experience the lofty ideals Scripture talks about in this lifetime, like “abiding” and “walking by the Spirit”? I grew up as a missionary kid so was familiar with the Scriptures and spiritual disciplines; but all I wanted was for someone to please explain to me what it means to live in freedom when it felt like the weight of the world was bearing down on me.

I wanted rest. I wanted Jesus to take my crushing yoke but I didn’t know how to let him.
More than any other singular person or experience, God used spiritual direction to transform my intellectual understanding of his character and work in my life into a felt experience. He chose to use spiritual direction to help me begin to feel and truly say with confidence that I am his beloved and that he is mine.

It is the freedom that he has won for me that caused me to jump up and pursue training in spiritual direction at the Institute for Spiritual Formation. He has used spiritual direction so powerfully in my life that I want to offer it for others, too, should he choose to use this context to touch their hearts. I currently do direction on staff there as well as at my church.

He desires to reach your heart ever more, too, dear reader. If you have read this far, I have a sneaking suspicion that that God may be longing to meet you in spiritual direction.

Spiritual direction is a sacred space for you and I to share uninterrupted, dedicated time with God. He is the true Director; my role is simply to bear witness to what he is doing in your life and partner with you in that discernment.

Spiritual direction is for those who seek a prayerful listening ear as they discern guidance regarding particular decisions they have to make; it’s for those who believe in God but doubt if they could really trust or even love him; it’s a place to wrestle with those deepest doubts, questions, frustrations, and fears, as well as a place to delight and celebrate and rejoice. Spiritual direction is a place for real people to meet with their real God and attend to his real, meaningful words and actions in their lives. Spiritual direction is for anyone seeking God, seeking peace, seeking freedom.

Bless you, dear brother or sister, as you discern which person to sit and attend to God with you this way. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have or simply to ask for prayer in selecting the right person for your journey. Whatever your story, know that you are welcome and cherished.

About Me

I serve as a Deaconess for over ten years at Faithful Central Bible Church, Inglewood, Ca. and at one time headed the FCBC Mentoring Program for three years. My passion for the needs of men and women in the Body of Christ led me to enroll at Biola.

In 2010, I received my MA in Spiritual Formation Emphasis, and completed the Soul Care requirements in 2013 from Biola’s Talbot School of Theology. I provide not only Spiritual Direction for individuals and group but also design retreats. This assignment to ministry leaves me with a passion to bring Spiritual Formation and provide Spiritual Direction to the Christian church universal.

Since starting my educational journey at Biola, I continue to assist men and women of all ages and ethnicities with their spiritual journey. My on-going educational pursuit has taught me even more so the value of listening and being sensitive when engaging the hearts of God’s Beloved in a one-on-one or group setting. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, pocket billiards and bowling.

About Me

What is the Lord doing in my life? How am I responding? How can I become more in tune to God’s ongoing, loving presence in my life? I find great joy in the slow and gentle work of journeying together with directees in the process of exploring these questions and living into these realities.

I come to this ministry as a former public-school teacher, mother of 4, pastor’s wife, ministry leader and foster parent. I was raised in Central California, but have called Long Beach, California home for my entire adult life. I studied Human Development and received my teaching credential from California State University, Long Beach. My training in Spiritual Direction came from Biola University where I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology. I currently serve there in an adjunct faculty role and as a staff spiritual director.

I would be so honored to come alongside and witness with you what God is up to in your life. I offer one-on-one spiritual direction in person or via zoom.

About Me

“You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.” (St. Augustine of Hippo)

One thing I have learned throughout my life and in ministry is that true spiritual rest can be elusive. Often we find our hearts yearning for a moment and a place where we can encounter God and find holy rest for the soul. I understand spiritual direction as an opportunity to be a friend who holds that holy space open for encounter, discovery, and rest. This understanding is woven with diverse life experience and a commitment to provide care to other ministry leaders.

As a spiritual director, I draw upon my life experience to foster a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental space. My spiritual journey includes both the Pentecostal and Anglican spiritual traditions. It also includes decades of experience in ministry leadership in various contexts. This diverse background has enriched my understanding of Christian faith and spiritual experience. I

In my spiritual direction practice, I integrate elements from both traditions, offering a holistic approach to spiritual guidance. I understand and appreciate the importance of both the dynamic, experiential aspects of faith and the contemplative, reflective dimensions. I draw from the Pentecostal tradition's emphasis on personal experience, the power of prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. At the same time, I incorporate the contemplative practices, liturgical rhythms, and theological depth found within the Anglican tradition. This allows me to meet individuals wherever they are on their spiritual journeys, regardless of their specific denominational or spiritual backgrounds.

As a spiritual director, I offer a safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their faith, regardless of their denominational affiliation. I honor the unique spiritual journeys of each person, helping them navigate their questions, doubts, and spiritual longings as we seek God together.

I have been married to my wife, Rhonda, since 2000. Together we have three sons and live in Fort Worth, Texas. I hold a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Truett Seminary at Baylor University. I look forward to meeting you!

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 Episcopal Priest. Trained as an Emergency Physician, I had the privilege to serve many communities on medical missions prior to COVID. Spiritual direction is, from my perspective, coming alongside others and co-listening to God's invitations.
Since moving to South Dakota, all of my appointments are via Zoom.

About Me

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

The journey into our soul can be tiring, and the road through life is often rocky and painful. In spiritual direction, together we will explore where God is at work in your life, and learn how to 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 with God about how you are experiencing life with God. I especially focus on feeling -with- God.

I have been practicing spiritual direction since the beginning of 2016 and have been formally trained at Talbot School of Theology in Spiritual Direction. I have experience with Celebrate Recovery and 12-step programs, which can enrich the growth of those struggling in particular areas. I seek to support those in ministry, leadership, business, those wrestling with deep questions in their faith, the grieving, and those simply wanting to grow spiritually with Jesus in the mundane. I have a working knowledge of dreams and use imaginative prayer to grow spiritually.

I also am trained in Ignatian Spirituality and can accompany people through the exercises (19th annotation Journey with Jesus by Larry Warner)
I also offer spiritual formation coaching in a yearlong bi-monthly program, for more information check out my website: www.maryldemilo.com/coaching

I currently meet with directees at Biola's Center for Spiritual Renewal and at a private office in Costa Mesa, CA. I also serve as a Spiritual Director at The Haven Retreat Center in Orange, CA. https://thehavenoc.com/

About Me

It is truly an honor to walk alongside individuals wherever they are in their spiritual journey. My approach to spiritual direction is Christ-centered and contemplative, offering a welcoming space for discernment and curiosity while navigating the joys and struggles of life.

I received a BA in Psychology from the University of North Texas and a MA in Spiritual Formation as well as a Certification in Spiritual Direction from Portland Seminary. I am currently employed as the Education Program Coordinator with Renovaré and assists in facilitating the Renovaré Institute, a two year training in Spiritual Formation.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family and soaking up nature by hiking, road biking, and camping. I have been married to my husband, Jason, for 28 years and we have three adult children and a goldendoodle.
