About Me

Spiritual direction offers a safe space in a hurried, word-filled world, to pause, listen, and become present to ourself and God. It is an honor to walk with those on this journey of discovery. I love helping others develop spiritual habits and draw closer to God as they become like Jesus for the sake of others.
Sharon and I were married in 1974, have four adult children and nine grandchildren. We have served as pastors since 1980 and currently reside in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. I have a Master of Divinity from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon, have been trained as a Spiritual Director through Selah, a Certificate Program from Leadership Transformation (https://www.leadershiptransformations.org/selah), and I am presently working on a DMin with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation at Phoenix Seminary.
I am available for Spiritual Direction or Spiritual Formation Coaching sessions either in person in Glendale or by Skype or Zoom. Contact: rogerhornbeck@gmail.com

About Me

I am honored to walk with individuals as they seek to draw closer to God, experience inner healing, and learn to know themselves more deeply. I love to help people awaken to their deepest desires and longings, and I find great joy in helping people discover their personal pathway to spiritual formation. Having served in pastoral ministry alongside my husband for 40 years, I am also a trained Spiritual Director, receiving certification from Sustainable Faith's School of Spiritual Direction. In addition, I am trained in the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition.

About Me

Getting to come alongside women on their journey with Jesus is one of the most life-giving things I get to do. What a joy to get to see women become more rooted and grounded in Jesus’ love, become increasingly aware of His presence and untangled from the various things that keep us from being who we were meant to be! It would be my honor to walk with you a while.

I received my Spiritual Direction training with Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction and have been giving direction since 2014. I am originally from California, but have Dutch roots and have been living and ministering in the Netherlands for the past 10+ years. I love doing life with my husband and we look forward to seeing what the future brings.

About Me

Are you a church staff member, missionary or a lay leader? Do you find yourself at a place where you have more questions than answers about your relationship with the Lord or your vocation? Or, do you find yourself curious about Spiritual Direction but aren’t sure if it’s a good next step? Do you desire to flourish in your life as a leader? If so, I’d love to sit with you as you explore the activity of God in your life. We'd start with a 30-45 minute "get to know you" conversation. If we are a potential match, we'd schedule an introductory session. If we are not a fit, but you remain interested in Spiritual Direction, I’d love to connect you to other possibilities.
I live an hour-and-a-half northwest of Chicago (Central Time Zone). I graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2008 with a Master of Arts in Theology. I completed the Selah Spiritual Direction Training program in 2013.
I’m married to David. We have one son, Matt and his wife Jordan. For more insight into my spiritual journey, you are welcome to peruse posts at www.beloved-daughter.blogspot.com.

About Me

My desire within spiritual direction is to discern and respond to the movements of the heart – no matter where they go. After hiking the pilgrimage of the Camino Primitivo, my life became even more guided by asking questions and being with others in the midst of their own journey of exploration. Through a contemplative approach to spiritual direction, it’s my sacred privilege to walk alongside those who are hungry, curious, disappointed, or in darkness. I am passionate about authentically growing together to discover more of the mystery of a Triune God who made all things good.

Along with being a Spiritual Director and member of the Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association (ESDA), I bring nearly two decades of leading others in outdoor adventures and collegiate ministry. I currently help others discover vocation, identity, and a sense of calling at Indiana Wesleyan University by teaching and learning from my students. In this season, I thrive in Marion, Indiana where I enjoy biking, jogging, and canoeing with those I love.

About Me

I came to spiritual direction wanting figure out what I needed to do. I found God inviting me to do less; to rest, to be loved. My journey has given me a passion for serving church leaders and the LGBT community. Big plusses in my life are hiking, skiing, flowers, my wife Renee, and our adult sons.

About Me

My spiritual direction practice is founded on the Holy Spirit being the Chief Spiritual Director who uniquely moves, guides, and reveals the directee to the truth -- to the truth of oneself and to the truth of God. The spiritual direction session is a particular time, space, and place to watch with the directee the activity and presence of the Holy Spirit's moving, guiding, and revelation of the truth (John 16:13). My job is to serve in that time, space, and place as your companion along the journey of faith with compassion and insight.

My philosophy for spiritual direction has been influenced by my training at Biola's Institute of Spiritual Formation. I received my MDiv. with an emphasis in spiritual formation at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) in May 2017. I serve a Staff Spiritual Director at the Center for Spiritual Renewal at Biola University.

I also work full-time as the CA State Director of National School Project, a non-profit ministry seeking to reach high school students with the gospel.

I enjoy spending vacation and time off at our national parks. I also enjoy hiking, surfing, swimming, and NBA basketball.

About Me

I love spiritual direction because it has helped me to lean in to recognize the Lord more clearly and follow His voice more freely.

I would love to accompany you on your journey of drawing near to Him.

I have a bachelor’s in Psychology from Regent University. I also value the training I have received through Vineyard Leadership Institute, Columbus School of Supernatural Ministry, and Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction.

My training would not be complete without my journey through the wilderness seasons of life and through my own personal transformation.

I also love missions and church planting.

I love spiritual direction because it is an opportunity to set aside everything else and draw near to the Lord together.

I look forward to connecting with you!

About Me

I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology in 2016, where I was trained to be a Spiritual Director.

I currently practice Spiritual Direction in the Atlanta area. My background has been a Staff Director at Talbot Seminary, practicing individual and group spiritual direction with those in the ISF program, and was an Adjunct Faculty at Talbot Seminary where I taught, lead group direction, and trained. I also provided supervision for staff spiritual directors at the Center for Spiritual Renewal through the Institute for Spiritual Formation. I am available to offer direction on a vary limited bases during this season.

I have a heart for those desiring to know God at a deeper level, no matter what season they find themselves in. Having worked for a missions organization for 8+ years, I have a particular understanding of the challenges of missionary life. I also have an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy working with business leaders in a formative way. I am currently working for Chick Fil A's Winshape Foundation as the manager of retreats in their marriage ministry.

I have worked with marriages, providing spiritual direction 2 on 2 as my wife also is a trained spiritual director. I am excited at providing more opportunities for couples to engage the process of spiritual direction collectively and individual.

My practice includes individual and group direction, working with male or female directees, teaching on Spiritual Formation, training Spiritual Directors and Pastoral counselors, teaching classes on Spiritual Formation, and I am able to design personalized retreats for individuals, groups, or leadership.

I have been married to my wife Holly Jauregui since 2012 and we have a son, Lincoln.

About Me

I am a spiritual director practicing the beloved of God-ness. To show others how beloved THEY are, as well as cultivating how beloved I am by God. More formally, I am a trained spiritual director by the Institute of Spiritual Formation, Master's of Divinity, with an emphasis in spiritual formation, at Biola University. Currently, I have experience with undergraduate students, adults, and married individuals (but not couples). I am a Taiwanese American, raised in Utah, with first-generation Taiwanese American parents, who are also missionaries along the Wasatch Front (Northern Utah and Southern Idaho). The tag-line on my business card is, "A partner with you on your journey with God." I strongly believe in partnership: in which director and directee (e.g. you) partner together with the work the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are currently doing in the directee's life to live out "the glory of God, [which] is the human being fully alive" (St. Iranaeus).

About Me

I am an Iowa farm girl, mother of 3 boys, PE teacher/coach, grandma to seven - and now a Spiritual Director! I have a graduate certificate in spiritual formation with the Transforming Community (Northern Seminary) and am a certified spiritual director from the School of Spiritual Direction (Sustainable Faith). I will be certified to accompany the Ignatian Exercises. My husband and I have worked with missionaries for many years in South Asia. I lead retreats for church women and am passionate about the need for a more reflective life in today's frenetic culture. What I love about spiritual direction is the front row seat I get to have in listening to and noticing the Holy Spirit's work in others' lives. I love to accompany those who are just beginning to find their calling before God, as well as those who are further along in their faith journey. I believe that we cannot grow spiritually alone. We each need someone travelling the road beside us, listening to us and then paying attention at the same time to the Holy Spirit and to scriptural guidance. I love to pray with others or just be silent with them in their search for God In Life As It Is.

About Me

My favorite image of a spiritual director is that of a midwife: one who listens and tenderly attends to the birthing process of new life that God desires to give each of us. I like to create a safe place for people to connect with God, to grow in intimacy with Jesus, and to be held in the Father’s loving embrace.

Spiritual direction is about prayerful attention. Instead of offering advice or attempting to solve a problem, my role as a spiritual director is to help you notice the movement of God in your life and assist you in perceiving the deep stirrings and longings in your spirit. My ministry is one of listening, with one ear tuned to the Holy Spirit and the other tuned to your story. No agenda. No achievement plan. Just time and place set apart to draw near to the living God. Throughout this process it is the Holy Spirit who is the ultimate director.

Are there things churning inside you that you are not sure how to process? Do you need perspective? Do you desire to see light and to feel hope? If so, it would be an honor to be with you, to pay attention to what God is doing in your life, and to dialogue with you about how you may want to respond to God’s invitations.

I participated in the three-year spiritual direction program at Mercy Center in Burlingame, California, completing it in 2002. I have worked as a spiritual director in para-church as well as church settings, and while living among the poor and marginalized during a long period of inner-city ministry. I have worked in retreat direction and in the training and supervision of spiritual directors. I live in San Francisco with my husband of 30 years and our friendly dog, who accompanies me on many of my favorite walks. We have two adult daughters. Our younger daughter is affected by Down syndrome and a passionate dancer. I enjoy finding God in nature, walking with friends, dance, yoga, reading, traveling, and sharing meals from around the world with friends and family.

About Me

Ministry, whether paid or volunteer, presents challenges which can be overwhelming. If a Christian leader does not take special care of their soul, they will likely succumb to the pressures of leadership. They will feel alone, inadequate, down, depressed, isolated or just plain disoriented. Do any of those ideas resonate with you?

My heart is to come alongside those leaders in ministry settings and give them someone safe to listen to their story. So that Jesus will not be someone to work for, but with someone who ministry is done with! I specialize in working with pastors and church leaders who are experiencing difficulty in their ministry. It is a joy to walk with someone as they discover how to discern the movements of the Holy Spirit and identify the seasons of their spiritual growth. I would love to walk with you through your current season of the soul.

I graduated from Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO and received an MA in Christian Formation and Soul Care from Denver Seminary in 2011. I’ve been an ordained pastor since 1996 and served in a variety of states and positions (Youth Pastor, Associate, Discipleship and Sr Pastor) within the local church. I am currently a Professor at Manhattan Christian College in Manhattan, KS, while continuing in a Doctorate of Ministry program at Denver Seminary.

About Me

I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation & Soul Care in May 2017 from Talbot School of Theology's Institute for Spiritual Formation. It was during my journey at ISF that my life opened up to myself, God, and others in profound ways. I have worked in pastoral ministry and church leadership for 8 years and have experienced powerful movements of the Holy Spirit in my charismatic church background - but it was my journey at ISF that allowed me to grow in deeper awareness of God and myself, to acknowledge my pain, reclaim my story, and to discern the deep workings of the Holy Spirit in a contemplative way of being. I consider myself a wounded healer who loves to journey alongside others in sacred, loving space. I have a heart for Christian leaders who need a place of refuge. I also love to be with others in self-discovery, issues of betrayal, sexuality, as well as those who are involved in creative arts/entertainment. Available for appointments via phone or Skpe. In-person appointments in La Mirada only.

About Me

What an honor, a sacred place, the ministry of Spiritual Direction. It is a privilege to come alongside the true Spiritual Director, the Holy Spirit.

I first discovered Spiritual Direction as part of my own spiritual formation. I completed a 5 year journey into my own spiritual formation beginning with a 9 month experience in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. This followed by a two-year Spiritual Formation program through the ministry of The Transforming Center and Ruth Haley Barton and most recently completing a two-year training program through the Sustainable Faith, School of Spiritual Direction.

My vocation had long been in a role of directing Global Outreach in a local congregation. As a part of this role, I met with many persons; missionaries, pastors, volunteers and church members. What I noticed over and over were so many persons longing to know and to be known by God in a deeper way. I stepped away from my Global Outreach position in order to shift my focus to the work of Spiritual Direction.

I desire to listen to others, while holding this sacred space, helping others to notice God’s presence in their soul journey. God is faithful, and always present to meet the directee wherever that might be.

In addition to offering Spiritual Direction, I am blessed to spend time with my husband of 39 years, our 3 children, their spouses and 6 grandchildren.

About Me

I find deep peace and purpose in creating a safe place for God to speak to those drained dry by life, ministry, parenting or burdened by pressures of all kinds that drown out the voice of God. Away from that noise, God provides the lovely quiet of an hour in spiritual direction where the stories of life are pondered together before Him. I've watched this beautiful, steady, slow work of transformation come through quiet listening and careful noticing the Spirit's gifts of grace that lead to freedom. It is a profound joy and honor to companion others on their spiritual journey.

After graduating from Talbot School of Theology, I've worked in a variety of capacities in churches and conference centers, teaching and mentoring women of all ages and stages. But eventually, and without my knowing, all the busy doing drained my soul. I felt stuck in a spiritually dry place with God. That began my own long journey away from guilt and shame and towards a new way of approaching my own sacred rhythms with a loving Father. Later I spent two years training with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries. I have obtained additional training to direct people through the 19th annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises (retreat in daily life). I am a student of the wisdom of the Enneagram, especially as it applies to spiritual transformation.

Spending free time with my dear husband, adult kids and my grandkids is extremely life-giving for me. Career-wise, I've worked part-time with families in independent study for 15 years. I'm also a lover of books and the beach (usually together) and a reluctant gym-rat. I am ever-blessed to have a small group of friends who put up my passion and fascination with the formation and care of the human soul as we travel this gift we call life.

About Me

I'm a graduate of the Institute for Spiritual Formation (M.A., 2015) at Biola University. I've been married for 10 years and my wife and I just welcomed our second child into our family. I've worked in a variety of ministry contexts from Christian universities to church plants to funeral homes to para-church organizations. And after all of that, I've found spiritual direction to be what brings me the most joy and fulfillment. Growing up in a ministry family and being a pastor's kid is a big part of my story and has led me to have a soft heart for ministry families and for those in occupational ministry. Working in all these contexts (as well as a lot of non-ministry related jobs), I also have a lot of experience working in bivocational or trivocational work situations. Spiritual direction is one of several part time jobs that I'm currently juggling.
So let's have a conversation, see what happens..."knock on some doors" and be surprised by God. Peace.
