About Me

I love creating sacred space for discovery and creativity, for deeper conversation and connection with God.
My vision is that in this hurried world, we would slow to be with one another as human beings in gracious spaces, hearing, honoring, and celebrating the unique voices and stories God longs to stir and unfold; while at the same time creatively collaborating with one another as influencers and deep pray-ers, listening to his invitations to engage in our communities through our gifts, time, and influence.

About Me

My hope in spiritual direction is to create and nurture sacred space in order to journey with you into deeper experiential encounters with the Lord. As we pray together, enter into silence, or reflect, I seek to offer a welcoming presence where we notice and pay attention to the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life.

I received an M.A. in Spiritual Formation from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and have been trained in Selah Contemplative Spiritual Direction. I also work as an INELDA-trained End-of-Life Doula.

Some of my favorite Christian authors are Eugene Peterson, Howard Thurman, Thomas Merton, C.S. Lewis and Henri Nouwen.

Merton writes, "In a world of noise, confusion, and conflict, it is necessary that there be places of silence and peace. In such places love can blossom."

About Me

May the peace of Christ be with you!

My name is Matt Kessler. I lead a small non-profit in San Antonio, Texas dedicated to leadership coaching, spiritual direction, marriage care, and wilderness adventure trips. I am passionate about coming alongside and guiding people into a deeper experience of the Father’s love, identity and freedom in Christ, and fullness of life in the Holy Spirit.

I have served in ordained ministry in the local church for 27 years. I have a Master's in Divinity, and I am a certified Leadership Coach, Stephen’s Minister, and Spiritual Director. I am also a trained Survival Instructor. I have planted and pastored two churches, helped start and lead several non-profit ministries, and I was consecrated a missionary bishop in the Anglican Communion in 2017. I’ve been married for 23 years and have three children 19, 15, 13…and two Australian Shepherds 7 and 1.

You can find out more about me at www.revelo.live as well as on Instagram @revelo210 and @mattkessler210

Spiritual Direction is a biblical form of Christian soul care that dates back to the earliest days of the church. It is a one-on-one relationship organized around Scripture, prayer, and conversations. It is an accompanied journey of the soul with the goal of spiritual renewal, transformation in Christ, and deeper union with God.

My first experience with spiritual direction came during one of the most difficult times I ever faced in ministry. Through Scripture reading, prayer, journaling, and weekly conversations with my spiritual director - the Lord met me, healed me, redeemed my pain, and breathed new life into my calling and ministry.

I was trained as a Spiritual Director through the Cenacle School of Spiritual Direction in Clearwater, Florida. As a spiritual director, it is my privilege to share all that has been so graciously invested in me to help others grow deeper in their relationship with God, self, and those around them.

I offer a friendly, free 30-minute Discovery Call by phone or Zoom to connect, learn more about your needs, and answer any questions about how I might serve you.

About Me

I long for a vibrant and intimate relationship with God and have been profoundly touched by the relationships I’ve encountered along the way in my own spiritual journey. The art of listening and compassionate care; to walk alongside of another in life’s journey, is a unique experience, one that can be so life-giving. It’s my pleasure to companion souls as a spiritual director, as a spiritual friend.

I am a creative. I paint, design, craft, write, imagine, curate sacred experiences and enjoy the varied expressions of the human soul through the arts, literature, nature and "work" in the world. I've taken to heart the Apostle Paul's desire to "labor until Christ be formed in you" and find in it a way to describe my vocation in life. I've spent almost 10 years pastoring in at a local church and was enriched by shaping and curating a communal sacred experience for many in the congregation.

My education/training includes: MDIV (pastoral ministries), a MA (Spiritual Formation/Soul Care) both graduate degrees are from Talbot School of Theology. I've also received training in Ignatian spiritual exercises and retreat, Contemplative Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram, and training in vocation-formation facilitation of seminary small groups at Fuller Seminary. I have a rich and varied experience of serving God and his people through cross-cultural and local missional work, teaching in churches and universities, facilitating group and individual spiritual direction and retreats, and participation in community outreach.

I have acquired some unique training with elder/end of life, chronic illness and dementia care by way of my own life circumstances. I've had the privilege of walking my own family through trying seasons to assist our elder family members in their passing with dignity.

Whatever the life season, I welcome companionship - those that walk with me or the invitation to walk with others. As one of my mentors says: Soul work - transformative life in God - is the solitary work that can not be done alone.

About Me

I have a heart for the TCKs/MKs, since I too have lived as a missionary kid overseas during my formative years. Spiritual direction is an added tool, to my first career path as a nurse. Love entering spaces of pause with people in the totality of who they are: mind, body, and spirit. Helping people lean into present day God's work that He is doing in their lives.

About Me

A core value that I hold as a spiritual director is the cultivation of hospitable space. Henri Nouwen's definition of hospitality has shaped me in profound ways. Nouwen says, "Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend . . . Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.” It is my honor and joy to prayerfully hold safe space where growing self-awareness and self-discovery lead to finding the sacredness of one's own life story within God's Divine Story. EE Cummings said, “We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.” As a spiritual director, my desire is to listen deeply, so the directee can experience the sacredness of her being and her story. Within the freedom of this safe space, together we listen to the Spirit and discern the presence and action of God in one's life.

I have served for over 25 years as staff in a Protestant missionary order as a trainer in spiritual formation and as mentor and coach. I was born in South Korea and immigrated to the US as a child. I have always been drawn to sit with others and listen deeply to their sacred stories. As I deepen my own journey into contemplative spirituality, I am drawn to the sacredness of each individual human being as created in God's image and to the sacredness of each person's unfolding life journey.

I have training in both one-on-one and group spiritual direction through Center Quest School of Spiritual Direction. I love both modalities and find group spiritual direction a powerful and counter-cultural mode of experiencing community in the body of Christ.

About Me

My heart is to provide a safe space for a wide range of individuals with various spiritual experiences and backgrounds through the Holy Spirit. It is my joy to walk with people in their journey of faith, help them recognize how God is present in their lives, and explore their personal prayer life and relationship with the Lord through vulnerability, transparency, and genuine conversation.

I graduated from Talbot School of Theology with my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care. My training has granted me various opportunities to walk with a diverse group of individuals experiencing deconstruction, confusion, “dark night of the soul”, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My greatest desire is to be a hospitable presence to guide people in learning what it means to walk with the Lord, experience Spirit-led sanctification, and become more like Christ, from the inside out.

Through my own upbringing as a missionary's kid, I have been able to relate with fellow pastors' and missionaries’ kids who may have unique struggles and deep wounds and hurts. My own mission trip experiences to countries such as Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Sri Lanka, India, Lebanon, Greece, South Korea, and Cambodia, as well as my one-year student missionary experience in Turkey, have widened my worldview and perspectives on diversity, culture, and religion. My greatest passion of all is to utilize spiritual direction as a tool on the mission field, particularly in Middle Eastern nations.

I am passionate about discipleship, relationships, and helping people of all ages find God in their everyday. I am also eager to hold a safe space for those seeking healing and restoration from church or spiritual leadership wounds. In addition, my heart is to help church leaders and pastors who are feeling stuck, experiencing burn out, or unable to go deeper in their relationship with the Lord. I long for all believers to discover how we were created to be in relationship with God, and how our soul, heart, and spirit affect us as a whole.

If you would like to have someone to sit with and listen to your journey with the Lord, and become more aware of what the Holy Spirit is doing in your life, I would love to join you!

About Me

It's been my privilege to serve in ministry with my husband, Tom, for nearly 40 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 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

Despite growing up a preacher’s daughter, I have often wondered why God was (or wasn’t!) allowing certain circumstances in my life. There have been plenty of times when I felt angry, hurt, confused and even abandoned by God. Yet through it all, I’ve seen His goodness and experienced His faithful, loving presence in the midst of pain and problems. I’ve also come to realize how vital it is to have the support of fellow pilgrims along the way, especially during times when God feels distant or confusing.

I want to help you, too, see God’s goodness and lovingkindness at work in the midst of your life. I want you to know how much and how deeply God loves you, and that He will work all things together for your good. It’s okay to be unsure or struggling in our walk with God. Through the process of listening and noticing His presence together, He will lead you into deeper understanding, healing and peace. I know this because I’ve seen it happen over and over again, in my own life and in the lives of those with whom I work.

Through the training program at Soul Shepherding, I learned how to wed my love of spirituality and emotional health, and was certified as a Spiritual Director in 2022. Prior to this, I obtained my doctorate from Rosemead School of Psychology, at Biola University, in 2000, and practiced as a licensed clinical psychologist for 20 years, specializing in trauma and adoption. Shortly after my husband and I had our first son in 2006, our family dealt with significant health issues. God used this to propel me into the world of alternative healthcare. I have since had additional training in numerous mind-body techniques that can be used to foster healing and increase our ability to both hear from and respond to our Heavenly Father.

My absolute favorite thing is to see people set free to have a renewed relationship with the triune God, and to more fully express their unique gifts and abilities in His Kingdom. I would love to journey with you on your path as we learn to revel in God’s goodness together!

About Me

Hi, my name is Chris and my own personal journey towards spiritual direction was about a decade in the making.

In my early thirties, I experienced a dark night of the soul that lasted for over a year. It was a difficult and disorientating time. I felt alone and without a good space to be able to openly and honestly process what was happening in my journey with God. Little did I know then what a gift that time would be. God used that time not only for forming my own soul but for shaping my future vocation. Through this experience, God gave me a passion for helping others better understand their own spiritual journeys, spiritual disciplines, and the care of their souls.

I bring over 20 years of experience in church and parachurch ministry as well as in learning and development across the lifespan. I have served on church staff and in church leadership and have extensive experience leading adult spiritual formation classes and book clubs. I completed a Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology: Learning and Development at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a two-year training program in Spiritual Direction through The Christos Center for Spiritual Formation.

I have been married for 23 years and have one teenage daughter. I love to be outside in nature, backpack camping, doing leather work and anything creative, and reading - especially anything sci-fi/fantasy or related to spiritual growth and development.

I am on staff with Gracebridge Alliance, a non-profit organization of spiritual directors that desires to help sustain faithfulness in ministry leaders. I see directees in person in our offices in Brookfield, WI, and Fond du Lac, WI, as well as remotely.

I would welcome a conversation with you.

About Me

I count it a privilege to be invited to companion with people as they seek to journey deeper into the transforming love of Jesus. The Prophet Jeremiah, in the midst of a spiritually dry time, reminded God’s people, “’Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself.” (Jeremiah 31:3, NLT) As we travel through all phases and seasons of life, the joyful and the difficult, Jesus is continually inviting us to respond to Him and live more fully in His love for us. This does not always mean the love Jesus is extending to us is obvious at first or easy to embrace. Yet, what I love about the ministry of Spiritual Direction is the chance to assist and support others as they seek to know and encounter Jesus is a personal and formative way. I desire to be a presence and listening ear that opens the door for others to meet with and hear from the Holy Spirit, who is the true Spiritual Director of our lives. God is the guide, the grace, and the goal of our journey; our role is to attentively recognize and respond to His movements in our lives.
I have the joy of being with Jesus and people in many facets of life. I am husband to a wonderful wife, a dad to two young boys, an ordained pastor in The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, as a Spiritual Director, and as the Care Pastor at Faith Fellowship Church in Uxbridge, MA where I facilitate the pastoral care ministries of the church and oversee the church’s small groups. My training includes a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Zion Bible College, a Masters of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary with a concentration in Spiritual Formation, and the completion of a two-year training cohort in Spiritual Direction through The PAX Center of Spiritual Formation.

About Me

"He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. “
Psalm 23:2 Is a favorite scripture and I see it as an invitation from God into His presence. It is my sincere desire to help you step into the quiet waters of God’s love. I would be honored to be your soul care companion on your journey.
I am a graduate of Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction and a member of ESDA. Offering you a welcoming space for connection with God and the transformation that occurs in that loving presence is my heart.
I am a certified naturalist and by request offer the observation of nature as a reflective tool in soul care. Similarly, as the founder of Presence Ministries, I lead contemplative nature retreats for those seeking the presence of God in his creation.

About Me

I completed my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology and currently practice Spiritual Direction both virtually and in the Orange County area. My background includes serving as a Staff Director at Talbot Seminary, where I provide individual and group spiritual direction to both undergraduate and graduate students. I also offer private personal direction and group direction. I am available to offer direction at this time and am welcoming new directees.

I have a deep passion for guiding those who seek a closer relationship with God, regardless of whether they find themselves in a season of growth and newness, or a spiritual wasteland. Having transitioned from a different faith tradition to something new, I deeply understand the challenges of faith transition and loss of community. I also know the hope that can come with sharing these experiences with others who welcome you in.

My practice includes individual and group direction for both male and female directees and collaboration with other Spiritual Directors. I am committed to supporting those in transition, ministry, leadership, business, and those wrestling with profound faith questions, anger, and grief, or those looking to grow spiritually with God in everyday life.

I bring extensive first-hand experience in trauma recovery and am dedicated to providing trauma-informed Spiritual Direction for both acute and complex trauma.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy connecting with my husband, family, and close friends, exploring new recipes, and immersing myself in books on spiritual growth, complex trauma, poetry, and narrative.

My current research interests include trauma, dissociation, anger, shame, grief, sexuality, boundary setting, group/communal dynamics, somatic work, and Centering Prayer.

If you are ready to explore your unique spiritual location and deepen your authentic relationship with God, I would be honored to support you on this journey.

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 have completed 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."

Spiritual Director companion, Professional Coach, Author: Pamela is a trained Spiritual Director who graduated from the SELAH Program from Leadership Transformations Inc. and is founder of Cornerstone Coach where she invites her clients to Lead Stronger. Live Fuller. ®

Pamela offers “HOPEN” as spiritual direction which is the HOPE in God who OPENS us to deeper love and communion through prayer, silence and listening with the Trinity. We notice His presence, words and ways in a holy sacred space where there is grace upon grace. She describes herself as a handmaiden on a donkey who loves Jesus, who enjoys prayer walks in nature and is learning to walk in God’s freedom and graces. Mostly she loves being present in His presence. Pamela completed the St. Ignatius exercises twice and is active in Coach Approach Ministries. She lives in Sacramento and Sedona and is available for spiritual direction via phone or through ZOOM. Blessings.
