About Me

I grew up in Northern Ghana as the son of missionaries. My life story developed marrying a Floridian 27 years ago and have three adult children. It has been a journey that included being a professional pilot, a missionary, a sojourner…yet one of greatest gifts along the path has been the freedom in encountering the knowing the Fathers love for me. It was always so, however now I can live as if I wasn’t less loved. I received a diploma in spiritual direction form Manresa Centre for Spirituality in Dublin, and practice in person in Ireland or via Skype to clients around the world. Fear, worry, anxiety and shame are all a part of who we are…yet His still small voice calls you to trust…trust in new ways, Please let me know how I may accompany your spiritual journey in listening and knowing Jesus in beautiful ways to His Peace and freedom.

About Me

I am so blessed to offer spiritual direction and have a great love for helping Christians recognize all the ways that God is active in their lives. No matter what our circumstances, God is continually loving, teaching, redeeming and healing us. I am enthusiastic about creativity and the arts, and teach on play, improvisation, creativity and worship. God has also walked with me through relational and physical pain (previous broken marriage, breast cancer, death of a parent). Through those experiences, God has developed in me a deeper compassion for our weaknesses and a marvel at what He can do for us in the midst of our trials.

I have been giving spiritual direction since 2003, and supervising directors since 2005. I received a master’s degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Biola University where I also received my direction training. Having lived in Toronto, Canada, and Dallas, TX, I'm now back home in Southern California with my husband Matthew, who is a scholar and writer on Christian spirituality and neuropsychology, and our chihuahua mix Gomez. I was blessed to be the founding director of ESDA for its first 5 years. I now work in Content Development for Grafted Life, specializing in creating interactive experiences that help people relate more deeply and directly to God and each other.

I am not currently taking on any new directees, as my schedule is now full. But I'm happy to make referrals to other quality spiritual directors I know.

About Me

“God comes to us disguised as our lives”…I have always found that statement to be intriguing. Have you ever considered that God could be speaking to you through the ordinary circumstances of your life? Where is God at work in your life and what are His invitations to you?

My calling is to offer spiritual companionship to women as they navigate the many roles, relationships and transitions in their lives and help them to find freedom in Christ in their places of brokenness, fear and shame. I long to help women awaken to the Presence of God in their daily lives and I seek to offer a safe harbor, a place where others can feel seen, heard and received in the love of Christ.

I received my training in Spiritual Direction through Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (CFDM) in Los Angeles, CA, along with 2 years of soul care training for church leaders at Biola University’s Institute of Spiritual Formation. I have been married to the love of my life for 29 years and have 2 adult children and a 150 pound Bullmastiff, named Bentley.

About Me

Life is eternal and the people God so loves around us everywhere are precious. Listening for the holy of our every days, I continue to be awed by the beauty of the image of God in people. I am eternally thankful for people who have brought clarity and light into the midst of my mystery and challenge, into those things not easily explained or understood. When others have offered a space for me to bring all that I am into all of who God is, I can see that I am fully known. I have seen God's unconditional love as others allowed me space to see all the places God had been with me, and was with me. And I could look forward with faith and hope that there would be no place in the future where I would be left alone.

I am thankful for for those who welcome space for questions and mystery and unanswered questions. I am grateful for those helping me see the "particularness" of being created in God's image for eternal good and God's glory. I want to offer a graced and prayerful presence for others to experience God’s love and presence and care.

In spiritual direction we rest in the reality of God's Trinitarian presence. We listen for the holy, grow in awareness of the holy, and listen with more awareness to the ways God is ever with us. Our life will be transformed when we live it with God.

Beloved community through the Renovaré Institute (2012) and Richmont Graduate University’s Spiritual Direction Program (2015) helped me see walking with others as a spiritual director was my particular gift. I trust deeply in God’s transforming work through spiritual direction and it my great joy and passion. Chattanooga is a short drive to my small home town of Chickamauga, just over the Georgia line, where I love meeting with folks in my home office. I am available for distance direction as well.

And I do think most anything can be made a bit better by sharing a cup of coffee with real cream.

About Me

Spiritual formation was, for me, a ray of hope when life wasn't working the way I understood it. I knew that God was real, and I knew the Holy Spirit was there, but it felt like there was something missing, and it was first in the community at the Institute for Spiritual Formation that I discovered that what was missing was... me. I had to recognize that as much as God mattered to me, I mattered to God, a rather drastic shift in my perspective, but one that I hope I can bring to my relationship with directees.

I grew up the second son of a Baptist pastor but managed to work my way into the Anglican church, where I discovered I really appreciate the tangible quality that symbolism and ritual provides. I received my training in direction partially from the Institute for Spiritual Formation, partially from Regis College in Toronto, and partially from bumping elbows with enough spiritual directors that enough of it rubbed off. I have a Masters in Spiritual Formation and a Ph.D. in Pastoral Theology, focusing on the neuroscience of spirituality (because somewhere along the way, I decided theology needs more neuroscience in it).

I hope that direction provides a place where people can be listened to and heard in a way our society often misses. And if God is in the quiet whisper, as Elijah found, then I also hope the direction room can be a place where we can stop long enough to hear. Blessings to you as you discern where the Lord is in your journey.

About Me

My 30 years as a pastor and 30 years in business provides a unique combination to offer spiritual direction. I provide accompaniment opportunities for adults of all ages, with special focus on younger men.

I am a “tent making” pastor like the apostle Paul (Acts 18:3); ordained in the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA). I work in business and face many of the same daily challenges as those in the marketplace do. I have also been a church planting pastor; and non-profit ministry director.

From 2005 -2010, I updated my seminary education with a DMin degree from Bakke Graduate University, www.bgu.edu. My dissertation resulted in a published book, entitled, “Luke-Acts Improv: Biblical Narratives That Get You into The Act”, Harmon Press, Woodinville, WA 2010

During this time, my prayer was significantly transformed by the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola and studies in improvisation.

My approach to spiritual direction is based on the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola with the Holy Spirit as Spiritual Director (John 14:26). Ignatian spiritual direction is cultivating the art of discernment, that is to hear and recognize the voice of Jesus through Scripture and prayer. This leads to freedom, clarity, and focus for life and ministry, along with confidence to act in accordance with God’s leading. . . so you may be able to discern what is best. . . (Philippians 1:9-10; Luke 24:13-32, John 10:27)

I wear Luke-Acts Improv lenses like an actor on an improv stage finding his place in the story. “Luke-Acts Improv” is a metaphor for reframing our lives in the drama of the biblical story. This Gospel frame helps set the stage to see God in all things; to notice, listen, and discover where God may be at work.

I specialize in providing Ignatian-based experiential learning opportunities with Luke-Acts Improv lenses that are formative for individuals and groups. Together with reflective-interactive accompaniment, such experiences help participants to taste of and witness to the life-transforming grace of God in Christ.

In recent years, my experience has been significantly impacted by becoming a Benedictine Oblate, at Westminster Abbey, Mission, BC, Canada. The Benedictine Rule, with its spirituality of work, has a great deal to offer the individual grappling with issues of work-life balance.

It’s a joy to be able to offer these streams of living water in Christ to support and encourage others, “that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:2-3)

About Me

I like to think of the spiritual life as a garden, full of seasons and cycles. It's my great joy to come along side others to listen and to notice what God is growing in them and to be reminded of his loving care. While I enjoy holding space for anyone, I particularly enjoy being present to pastors, ministry leaders and people going through transition. As a global citizen who has lived in, traveled through and worked with ministries in over 50 countries, I also enjoy holding space for expats who live between worlds.

I am a documentary filmmaker and producer of the Betwixt Podcast where I explore the liminal spaces where transformation happens. My academic background is in Biblical Studies, Old Testament, Archaeology and Communications. While I continue to love these topics, the best education I have received was through the Sustainable Faith School of Spiritual Direction.

It's my joy to offer individual direction, group direction, facilitate clearness committees and community discernment processes, teach, and lead contemplative prayer and retreats. I am also certified to teach the enneagram and offer training for individuals, groups, and leaders.

I am married to a University Professor and we will live in Columbus, OH with our two adventurous daughters.

About Me

It’s a privilege to listen to the way God is stirring your soul, hold the intricacies of your story, and sit together in the Presence of God. Every human soul is a unique work of art and infinitely loved by God. He invites us to abide with Him but it’s a long, arduous journey to learn to do just that. Can you relate? Offering soul care and giving the gift of truly being seen and heard and then positioning people to hear and receive from God themselves is one of the greatest privileges of my life. We are not meant to do this alone.

I am an Anglican priest with 10 years of parish experience, a writer, and a spiritual director. Thirteen years ago I began a healing journey while also getting training with Healing Care Ministries and then finished a degree with HCM International in the School of Spiritual Formation and the Art of Spiritual Direction.

About Me

I graduated in May 2018 with a Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot Seminary, La Mirada, California. I’m currently working as a staff spiritual director at Biola University. It is my joy to companion alongside people on their spiritual journey, helping them become attuned to their life with God and the special love He has for them. Nothing means more to me than seeing people discover their identity in Christ and live out their primary vocation of communion with God as His beloved. I consider it a privilege to help others name and navigate their experience, together attending and responding to the presence, work and invitations of God in all areas of their life. It is important to me that direction is a safe resting place, a sacred space where people feel known, seen, heard, blessed and transformed by our Loving Lord in their deep. May the face of our Lord Jesus shine upon you and bring you joy and peace.

About Me

I have been a Christ-follower for much of my life; making a formal commitment to Him when I was seventeen. In recent years I have begun exploring the contemplative side of Christianity, and I find it very fulfilling. It is this exploration that led me into spiritual direction. I love having the opportunity to walk with fellow Christians and see them growing closer to Jesus. In addition, I have been interpreting in American Sign Language for the past 17 years, and am fluent in ASL, so I am offering my services as a spiritual director to ASL users as well.

About Me

I grew up with an understanding of the presence of God and the knowledge that He wants me to know him. It was not until early adulthood, however, that I understood that it is because He wants to show me His incredible love for me. Since then, it's been a beautiful journey continuing to grow in intimacy with the God of the universe and discovering the unlimited ways He displays his love.

My professional journey began in social work and this has shaped our family in many ways but my heart has always been searching for more ways to understand and know God's presence in my life. I'm grateful that spiritual direction gives me more time and resources to pursue this.

Spiritual direction was a healing force in my life at a time when I needed to know God's presence and discern his movement. Because of this, I have a desire to partner with others in this process of discernment. I've completed a two year training program with Sustainable Faith School of Spiritual Direction and walked through nine months in the Ignatian spiritual exercises. This process has been transformative for me and has given me a deeper understanding of the movements of God. I hope to be able to use this experience to partner with others in discernment.

About Me

I am humbled and thankful to walk alongside women on their spiritual journey through the practice of Spiritual Direction and Soul Care. It is my passion to sit with women and hear their life stories, enter with them into the presence of the Holy Spirit, listen to their hearts , listen to the Spirit, and respond together to God's invitation to a deeper journey with the Him. Through companioning them, we can discern together where God is at work in their life and how He is inviting, speaking and leading. My style is a hybrid approach, using attentive listening, story, scripture, spiritual formation, discipleship, spiritual disciplines, & enneagram, to name a few, for the purposes of journeying together towards transformation to be Christ image bearers. I believe that we are created in the imago Dei (Image of God), and that our core identity as the Beloved is our true self. Let's journey together to discover who you already are!

I have been married for 40 years to a wonderful man and have 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren. I was a Registered Nurse for 30 years, and served as a cross cultural missionary providing member care for missionaries for 20 years. Upon retiring as a nurse and missionary; I felt a desire to get specific training to compliment my calling to come alongside others.

In 2016, I completed the 2 year Spiritual Direction Training through the Selah Program @ Leadership Transformation Center in Boston, MA. Currently, I live in Raleigh, NC where I offer both face to face and virtual appointments. Many of my clients live internationally, or across the USA; so 95% of my work is electronic.

My husband and I run a non-profit ministry called Sacred Journey (www.onmysacredjourney.com) where we lead soul care retreats, offer Soul Care Intensives, guided personal retreats as well as Engaged Couple Preparation, and Newlywed Counseling. My husband is a Licensed Professional Counselor; and together we offer Soul Care, Counseling, and Spiritual Direction. I would be delighted to hear from you and journey with you.

About Me

I am a certified Spiritual Director, called to help people know and experience the love of the Father and see it in their lives. As we live our lives we often hide ourselves from ourselves and from God. Uncovering who we are in Christ, who we are created to be, is freeing and empowering and opens the way to the Father's heart. That is a journey that I have taken myself and am I honored to be able to help others find their way.

I am a graduate of Sustainable Faith's School of Direction and offer direction in Chandler, Arizona or remotely via video conference.

I am a member of Wonderful Mercy Church in Gilbert Arizona (affiliated with the Alliance of Renewal Churches), where I serve as an elder and am privileged to preach from time to time.

About Me

I love to create "Be Still" space for individuals to experience God's presence and I enjoy coming along side those who desire to grow in their relationship with God. God desires to move us upward. Sometimes we get stuck or fall. Offering a place of grace to brush off the dust, is at the heart of my ministry.

I am a certified Spiritual Director, completing a two year certification program through Selah Leadership Transformations, Inc in May of 2018. I have been practicing spiritual direction since September of 2016. My practice specializes in individual and group spiritual direction as well as leading guided silent retreats. If you desire to connect with me, I can work with you in person or skype.

Prior to seeking training, I sought my own spiritual direction as I was stuck in a dry spiritual season. It was during this time that I experienced God's grace as He re-imagined my identity, healed me from past shame, and changed me from the inside out. Within this season I sensed a call to walk with others in their own spiritual journey and spiritual direction was the training I invested in to respond to this call.

I enjoy writing and photography as well as many other creative artsy outlets. I am married to my husband Rollin and we have lived in Indiana since 1986. We enjoy having our two adult children living close.

About Me

I have lived in & around Atlanta almost my whole life. I am married to my cherished wife Wendy and we have a precious 12-year-old daughter, Anna Jane. My hobbies include playing golf (if you could call what I do as actually playing) and reading. But my real joy is found in playing silly games with my daughter.

I have been a bi-vocational pastor for 28 years. I was ordained in the Christian Church, but have served in pastoral positions in Christian, United Methodist, Baptist, and non-denominational churches. My secular job is as an electrical engineering manager and I also serve as the Co-Director of the Spiritual Direction Program at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta. I offer spiritual direction to both sisters and brothers in Christ and anyone else who desires to grow closer to God.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1987. I then went to Candler School of Theology at Emory University & earned a Masters of Theological Studies degree in 1992. More recently I received training as a Spiritual Director by completing the Graduate Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction at North Park Seminary in 2012. I also earned a Doctorate of Ministry degree in Spiritual Formation jointly with the Ashland Theological Seminary and the Renovare' Institute in January 2014. My dissertation project was the creation of a self-assessment tool – called the Christian Formation Inventory - to assist individuals in personal reflection on their own Christian formation.

It is my call and my joy to be a “friend of the Bridegroom.” It is my privilege to walk alongside others and assist them as they discern God’s voice and go ever deeper in their intimacy with God through Jesus Christ.

About Me

I have a passion to journey with leaders who long to be who God has made them to be and to do what God has created them to do. That passion flows from my own experience as a leader and from over 25 years of experience working with leaders in Africa.

In direction, I offer myself as a non-anxious presence who helps leaders pay attention to the presence, the work and the word of Christ in their life. As we journey, I offer a safe space where they can explore God’s invitations and grow in awareness. As a fellow journeyer, I help leaders find grace and courage through Jesus, to respond well.

I currently serve as the Director of Community Life and Formation at East Mountain Capetown, South Africa. I hold a BS in Industrial Engineering, an M.Div in Christian Education, an M.A. in Spiritual Formation and a certificate in Spiritual Direction.
