About Me

"It's been my privilege to serve in ministry with my husband, Tom, for the past 30 years. After serving cross-culturally in SE Asia for 9 years, subsequent ministry has centered primarily on extending missionary care to those serving in a variety of contexts around the world.

My vision and love for ministry only deepened and expanded through my MA degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care, which I earned at Talbot School of Theology in 2014. After three decades of ministry, I learned an entirely different way of sitting with others, and I'm grateful that there is now much much more of Jesus and much less of Sue in my ministry conversations.

I have a particularly tender spot in my heart for those who have served or are serving as missionaries, for those who have grown up in a culture other than their home culture, for those who are actively serving in ministry, and for those who are walking through grief and loss."

About Me

It is one of the greatest privileges I have to sit with people right where they are at and be a witness to the work of God in their lives. From this starting point, I find great joy in helping people begin the process of growing in the knowledge of both God and self and opening up to God in full honesty of what goes on underneath the surface.

About Me

"As a spiritual director, I am a faithful and engaged listener who compassionately companions and encourages others to a deeper understanding of their belovedness in Jesus. My personal life call is to love and know God with intention, vigor, and passion. (Jeremiah 9:34)

I have walked my own wilderness journey with the Lord, and from there my desire was stirred to companion believers while they walk out their own journeys with Jesus. I have walked through divorce, single-parenting, remarriage and merging a blended family. Years in the wilderness deepened my love for Jesus and shaped my spiritual journey like nothing else has. I have been a military wife, a registered nurse, and I have directed a Christian ministry.

I encourage people on their journeys at different levels. I offer individual and group spiritual direction and some coaching. I speak at retreats on spiritual intimacy and growing deeper in Christ, and I also host contemplative group retreats in my home. It is a joy to see people journey with Christ and each other for a day!

I received my Spiritual Direction training from Selah (Leadership Transformations). I have completed the Transforming Center’s program for Spiritual Transformation, Larry Crabb’s New Way School of Spiritual Direction, and I am currently enrolled in Coaching the Heart program from Leadership MetaFormation.

I am married to my best friend Ken, and we have a large and loud family of five children, three daughters-in-love, and three grandchildren. I live in the mountains of southwest Colorado, and I like to check off the boxes of a good Coloradan by hiking, running on trails, and sitting on my porch looking at the mountains."

About Me

"Your story and your heart matter. Many things lead an individual to consider a spiritual direction relationship: a longing for deeper intimacy with God, a difficult or transitional season of life, faith stretching questions, or the demands, isolation, and intensity of ministry.

As a spiritual director, my heart will be attentive to God as I companion you. Together we will listen for God and look for His fingerprints on the pages of your story. My prayer is that you will experience God's love more fully and move into greater freedom, healing, and wholeness in Him.

I graduated from Messiah College with a Bachelor of Arts in studio art (1992). I received a Master of Divinity from Biblical Seminary, Hatfield, PA (2004) and I completed spiritual direction training at Kairos: School of Spiritual Formation, Lancaster, PA (2013).

I am also a wife, mother, and artist. I love my husband, a strong and passionate man, who is also my opposite in nearly every way. We share a love for God, our two precious daughters, and a hot cup of coffee. As an artist I reflect on, respond to, and pray the beauty and the mess of our walk with God through images."

About Me

Years ago I felt the Lord say to me, "I have made you to be like Silas, one who comes along side." I have discovered that the deeper meaning of this calling is in spiritual direction. I count it a privilege to journey along side others as we walk with God in our direction appointments.

I currently serve as the Senior Pastor of Carefree Vineyard Church and hold a Masters of Divinity from The Master's Institute. Prior to this call, I served as the Assistant Pastor at Hope Church in Phoenix, AZ for 8 years. I have also completed the two year school of spiritual direction offered by Sustainable Faith as a means of following the Lords call. My wife and I founded It's For Freedom in 2015 to expand the ministry of inner healing, deliverance and spiritual direction.

I also enjoy and am available to lead retreats and teach workshops on the topics of inner healing, deliverance, soul care and spiritual direction.

About Me

It is my great joy to sit with others, inviting the Spirit to lead us, as we listen, and look for the Lords’ invitations to know Him more deeply. My own experience with direction has helped me to see how comforting and powerful companioning and seeking the Lord together can be to help us grow to know Jesus more intimately.

I loved serving in medical missions and church planting on the island of Trinidad with my family for ten years and I have a passion for the local church. I have led Bible studies with women and worked with children. I also have a deep love for cross-cultural ministry and am involved with our missionary care team.

My training was received from the Spiritual Formation and Soul Care program at Talbot Seminary and I am currently working as a Spiritual
Director for Biola University, working with Biola and Talbot students.

I have four adult married children, five grandchildren and two dogs. I have recently been widowed after 38 blessed years of marriage. I love reading, cooking, walking in nature, sitting by the beach, and sharing life with others.

About Me

I have completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at the Institute of Spiritual Formation, part of Talbot seminary, and I continue to work as a staff director there. Throughout my time in this program, I became incredibly grateful for the gift of meeting with a spiritual director, and desire to provide a similar space to others, processing life through the lens of what God may be up to in various circumstances. As someone who struggled with accepting my own emotions and tried desperately to cover and ignore weakness and flaws, direction became a place of adventuring into the dark depths of my own heart with the Lord. My directors have helped hold me in uncomfortable but necessary places in order to truly address what God is surfacing in my life.

I have been involved in youth ministry with high school students for many years at my home church, and have served cross-culturally for a year in Ukraine after finishing my undergraduate degree. My favorite aspect of ministry is sitting with others, listening to their stories, and seeking to discern what God is doing and what He may be inviting them into together. Throughout my years of ministry, I have walked with students and friends through exciting moments of joy, injustice and anger, deep sadness, emotional flatness, and more. Being able to explore these states with others is a privilege and joy.

About Me

Several years ago, God began to peel back the layers of my soul and reveal just how disconnected from my soul I had become. As I reconnected to what was most true about me, I discovered the abundant life I learned about but never really understood. During this journey, God revealed a new vocation to me in the practice of spiritual direction. It brings me great joy to draw alongside another, notice God, and watch Him awaken their soul to the life He meant for them to live.

About Me

I am available for spiritual direction in face-to-face meetings in my office in West Chicago, IL or online through Skype or ZOOM. My area of focus is encouraging a life of prayer when prayer is understood as an opportunity to quiet the heart and listen to God who speaks his love and grace to the heart of all who care to listen. We who believe in Christ are always being invited into a deeper knowledge of Christ in us, the hope of glory. That knowledge comes to us as the Holy Spirit pours out the love of God to all who seek, ask and wait. "If you then... know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Experiencing the presence of God within opens the door to more loving relationships with others, more creative living and to seeing the goodness of God in all things. I believe that when someone listens to our story with compassion and an eye to the work of God in us, we can find the vision and strength to live a life of freedom from habits that narrow our focus to a distorted understanding of who we are. A spiritual director is one who is called to listen to the stories of those who come to him/her and give feedback that helps the directee see glimpses of the subtle movements of the Spirit within who is inviting us into the joy and freedom of loving God, others and self.
I have completed the two-year program in the School of Spiritual Direction offered by Sustainable Faith (2017) and have fulfilled their requirements to become an Affiliate Spiritual Director.

About Me

As you bring your questions, concerns and yearnings to God often the tables are turned and you’ll find Jesus asking you the questions “Who do you say I am” and “What is it you want”? As a Spiritual Director my role is, by attentive listening, to be a mirror to help you see the patterns in your own life and a window to help you see the workings of God in all things. I offer a wealth of life experience, including living in other cultures. My education includes an MBA and a Masters in Spiritual Formation. Whatever the stage of your life’s journey, we can listen and explore together. I am available for direction in person, by phone or email.

About Me

I love the practice, experience and art of spiritual direction.

One of my favorite places in the world is sitting across from another person, made in the image of God, and assisting in learning to listen and discern the Holy Spirit and respond to His guidance.

Spiritual direction is a beautiful training ground for Life in the Spirit, the practice of Sanctification. For those who have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, who have tasted of the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and long for more.

It is literally working out your salvation with fear and trembling as God works and wills His good pleasure in you.

The spiritual direction experience can be described as a co-journey, where we look at the map of your heart, your story, where you came from and where you’re going, and begin to notice the patterns, movements and promptings of the Holy Spirit. What is God saying this season of your life?

These brief moments in spiritual direction create an everlasting impact on the soul and begin to anchor the soul in eternal hope, an experience of the Presence of God which will someday last forever.

This can foster an ongoing conversation between you and God everywhere you go, not matter what you do.

There is something so precious and sacred about spiritual direction. When else do you have the freedom to speak from the holiest place inside your being. How often do you intentionally step into your story?

What would it be like to share the ups and downs of your story with another person, trained to pay attention to God-inside-you?

I love what Wendell Berry says, "There are no unsacred places, only sacred and desecrated." What areas of your life are sacred to you and God? What parts of your story feel desecrated?

Spiritual direction works to flourish you, body and soul, through tending like a gardener to your inner life and outer circumstances and begins to comprehend and partner with the unfolding of His promises to you in the Bible.

This is an opportunity to be honest, to struggle, to wonder, to grieve, to ask, to enjoy, to celebrate, to shed the conformed patterns of this world and step into a renewed mind that proves the good, pleasing and ultimately perfect will of God.

Take a step into significance.

Partner with God in spiritual direction. Your soul will thank you later. 

About Me

It is a blessing to sit with another in spiritual direction. I am passionate about simply being and resting in Christ. Offering a hospitable place for another to just be and discover God is part of what I love and hope to help create in direction.

I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology's Institute for Spiritual Formation in May 2014 and have offered direction since 2011, when I finished my formal training as a director.

With experience in student development, teaching, journalism and photography, I love to explore vocation and beauty amidst the mundane and extraordinary ways God weaves our life together. I have a love for words and beauty in the small things.

I'd love to meet with you and hear your story.

I am also passionate about finding rest and the significance retreats can have in our spiritual lives. If you are looking for someone to lead or write and develop a retreat for an individual or group, please let me know.

About Me

As a Spiritual Director my intent and practice is to help people attend to the presence and activity of God in their lives, and to grow in healthy self-awareness of the ways they respond to God.

I enjoy working with followers of Christ at any point in their relationship with him. Helping people become discerning people who know how to make good decisions about life choices is an important part of my work as a spiritual director. Since self-awareness is critical to good discernment, I help people navigate the Enneagram as a tool for honest self-evaluation and transformation. I also accompany people through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.

I have spent over 30 years working with leaders in high stress environments. What I bring to spiritual direction for Christian leaders and cross-cultural workers is an understanding of the role of suffering, especially the 'dark night of the soul' experiences where God and His rewards seem absent.

I have a BA in Biblical Studies, an MA in Christian Ministries, am ordained, and have completed a two-year certification program in Spiritual Direction with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (2011). I train others in spiritual direction through Sustainable Faith.

I’ve been actively involved in pastoral ministry for 25 years and now serve the larger body of Christ in Leadership Coaching and Spiritual Direction.

About Me

My passion is to companion with others on their journey to a deepening love relationship with the triune God. In the direction session I provide space for directees to listen for the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit as they explore the mysteries of God’s loving nature illuminated in His Word. Just as I have found a deep peace as Abba’s beloved child through spiritual direction, I also desire to come alongside others as they discover His personal offer of overflowing hope (Romans 15:13).

I first encountered contemplative practices over 20 years ago in a community church where I learned to follow Jesus’ call to abide in Him and, through spiritual retreats, to find rest apart from the demands of a busy world. God’s Presence and guidance through the contemplative life has provided a firm foundation to my roles in the corporate world, in ministry, and as a wife to my husband Dave.

I have been in vocational ministry since 2000, living and serving internationally in a variety of roles and settings. Since 2006 I have been based in Columbia, South Carolina where I am involved in the ministry of member care, serving cross-cultural workers through pastoral care, debriefing, mentoring, and spiritual direction, as well as serving in the local Christian community through teaching, small group and retreat facilitation, and spiritual direction.

I hold a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Selah (Leadership Transformations). My academic training includes an MA in Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Formation and a Doctor of Ministry in Member Care, both from Columbia International University. I began my professional career as an optometrist before being called to serve overseas as an international public health and development consultant.

About Me

Hi, my name is Jen. I am a child of God - a daughter, sister, friend, and tia - a spiritual director and retreat facilitator - a red head. I graduated from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot Theological Seminary in May 2010. During my time there I received training in spiritual direction and found it to be such a lovely way in which to journey with others. I currently offer individual and group direction for men and women, and also am available for chapel and retreat planning. My interests lie in helping others to freely approach the Lord, bringing this honesty into community, and creativity and storytelling for the non-artist. I have recently completed the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage throughout Spain, and am excited to bring these experiences into direction. I am available to meet in Pasadena, as well as through Skype.

I formerly worked for Saddleback Church for 3.5 years, coordinating retreats for the Rancho Capistrano property. I recently relocated to Pasadena, California where I work for Caltech and on the side am creating a non-profit retreat ministry. I thoroughly enjoy engaging in beauty: the company of good friends, interesting films, flavorful meals, reading a book, listening to a podcast or music, and a rich cup of coffee.

"The Risen Christ makes life a perpetual feast."

-Athanasius

About Me

As a spiritual director of women, I seek to find God in all things and serve as a witness to the things He is doing in the lives of my sisters in Christ. After 5 years on the mission field in Mexico City, God led me to pursue training as a spiritual director. I graduated with an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute for Spiritual Formation, Talbot Seminary, in December 2018. After serving as a staff spiritual director with Biola University, I have now moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to work with a non-for-profit ministry dedicated to encouraging women in difficult life circumstances.

My heart’s desire is to provide spiritual direction in particular, to women who are seeking to grow in their identity in Christ and notice His movement in their life and circumstances. Since journeying with Jesus in other cultures is an integral part of who God has created me to be, I delight in giving direction to those in intercultural situations and those serving on the mission field.
