About Me

I have traveled many paths in my 54 years of living. I was born and raised in the Catholic church and cherish the rich heritage that I experienced in this tradition. During my teen years, my family began attending a charismatic church, and later I graduated from Oral Roberts University where I obtained my degree in Social Work and met my husband. Through this time my faith grew in the God of miracles. Several years after I married, my first son was born with severe medical complications. This began a journey through many years of questioning. I continued to love and serve God, but could no longer find Him in my personal story. My son is now 26 years old, and along the way, God began to reveal that even when I felt abandoned, He remained always present.
As I travel this journey, I notice many other women who are on similar paths. Life has become hard and is a very lonely place. God has placed upon my heart a ministry for you. He sees and knows your heartache and desires for you once again to discover where He is in your story. I invite you to set aside space for the Holy Spirit to reveal His plans, His love, and His presence.

I obtained my Spiritual Direction training through Sustainable Faith's 2 year intensive program. Through the practice of Spiritual Direction, I set aside space, sacred and unhurried, for me to accompany you as you discover God's presence in the midst of the storms of life. The space offers a place where you can feel safe to share your joys, sorrows, doubts and fears and together we will invite the Spirit of God to reveal His presence in the midst of your life. Through the practice of reflection, silence, prayer, and questions, I help you to notice the stirrings of God right in the middle of the journey you are on. In this sacred and safe space we discover the Holy Spirit is present with you and is eager to meet you right where you are. Come find a space to be still and know that He is God.
“The assumption of spirituality is that God is always doing something before I know it. So, the task is not to get God to do something I think needs to be done, but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can respond to, participate, and take delight in it.” –Eugene Peterson

About Me

Where do you turn when life gets confusing; when you are trying to find peace within your soul; when you are curious, questioning, disappointed, delighted or in darkness? As a spiritual director, it is my honor to walk alongside you as a companion who listens, encourages, and supports helping you notice and discern the Holy Spirit’s guidance and direction in a safe and confidential space.

I am certified for spiritual direction by Christos Center for Spiritual Formation and available to meet virtually or in person.

About Me

Joe served with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for forty-four years. He held various leadership roles including National Co-director of Spiritual Formation and Prayer.

Joe has completed two Certificates in Spiritual Formation, the first from Columbia Theological Seminary and the other from the Renovare’ Institute. The Renovare’ program offered Joe the opportunity to spend several weeks with Dallas Willard, as well as other leaders in Spiritual Formation in the evangelical community.

Joe has also received his Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Sustainable Faith. Joe has offered spiritual direction for the past seventeen years. His passion and interest in both retreats and spiritual direction has always been around the ways in which people are spiritually formed and grow increasingly into the image of Christ.

While working with InterVarsity, Joe led multiple spiritual formation retreats, on both national and regional levels. Additionally, he oversaw several cohorts of a two-year spiritual formation program for leaders in the organization. These retreats helped over one hundred ministry leaders deepen their soul lives and relationships with God.

About Me

I am a Roman Catholic and have been spiritually guiding women for 15 years. I have a Spiritual Direction Certificate from Divine Mercy University and have knowledge of Carmelite and Ignatian spirituality. I also provide the 19th annotation retreat for those interested. When I meet with directees, I seek to understand them as the beautiful soul God created them to be. My approach to spiritual direction focuses on helping each directee realize that as a human person, their identity is based upon them knowing that they are beloved children of God, created in His image and likeness. From here, which is their principle and foundation, we begin God’s journey for the soul which brings clarity to what it means to live in His Divine Will for their growth in holiness and happiness.
On a personal level, I have been married for 51 years, have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I also have worked in healthcare for 50 years and currently have a healthcare consulting business.

About Me

I am trained and certified as a Spiritual Director. It is both my calling and joy to companion others as they journey deeper with God. By taking time to make sacred space to connect deeply with God we grow in faith. The journey of faith is not always a straight path and there are many times we don’t feel God’s presence or sense His will for us. I am here to listen well to you and the Holy Spirit and together we will find the God who promises to be found.

As a professional artist for 30+ years, my love for art blends beautifully with my practice and I often use Visio Divina and other creative exercises in my sessions. I find that the arts help us connect our soul deeply to God because God is the creator and lover of our soul! As Imago Dei we are image bearers-made in the image of God, therefore we have great capacity for connecting creatively with God, whether by viewing or creating. Art goes beyond words and helps us experience God in rich ways.

In addition to individual direction, I offer group Spiritual Direction, Contemplative Life retreats, as well as the Contemplative Art Workshops and retreats. I am also certified to accompany others in the 9 month prayer journey with the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius.

Spiritual direction has been a deeper and richer way for me to relate to God and a person, a place of holy listening at a spiritual table full of choices to feast upon.

About Me

I began full-time vocational ministry in 1979. In that time, I have served as an associate pastor in three different congregations in Texas and Arizona including eight years as a senior pastor. I completed a Masters of Ministry Certificate at St. Stephens University, St. Stephens, New Brunswick. In January of 2014, I published my first book, Darkness to Light, an account of my journey into clinical depression and my subsequent encounter with the love of God which brought a deep and lasting emotional healing. I completed my spiritual director's training through Sustainable Faith’s two year certificate program in spiritual direction. In 2019, after 40 years of vocational ministry in the local church, I began teaching full-time for Sustainable Faith's spiritual direction program. I am deeply blessed to be involved with the training of spiritual directors across the United States and Canada.

About Me

What is God up to in your life today? Where are you hearing, experiencing the Divine? How is your practice giving you life? Perhaps you're experiencing what Richard Rohr calls "second-half-of-life" spiritual questions? In which what sustained you all these years just isn't enough anymore?

As a spiritual director, I companion with you on your journey and relationship with God. I am not there to tell you what to do. I may, with prayerful discernment, offer perspectives and suggested practices. Together, we notice, name, and respond to the presence of God in your daily life. My primary role is to listen for the Spirit's movements in your life, and then–with you—jointly discern the experience. The Spirit is truly the director here!

I am an ELCA Lutheran pastor, currently ministering with Richfield Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis MN. Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees were through Luther Seminary, St Paul MN. Spiritual director training was through Christos Center for Spiritual Formation, Lino Lakes MN. In addition, I completed the Spiritual Formation for Congregational Leadership program and the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises through Christos. My training to direct the Extended Ignatian Exercises was through Sacred Ground Center for Spirituality, St Paul MN. I'm currently a facilitator in Christos' spiritual director training program. I've been in spiritual direction since 2001.

Practices I've found helpful to growing in union with God include Lectio Divina, Examen, the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, Centering Prayer, haiku, and zazen. I am a Benedictine oblate (OblSB) associated with St John's Abbey. I am conversant in Benedictine, Carmelite, Ignatian, Taoist, and Zen spiritualities and practices. Always mindful that contemplation isn't something we "do" as much as it is a way of life, a way of seeing.

As well as individual spiritual direction, I also direct the extended Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.

Before pastoring, I served in the Air Force, taught college, and worked as a research economist. I also am a Family Systems Theory facilitator, working with congregations, congregational leaders, and individuals. This "hat" curiously complements spiritual direction well.

I presently practice direction with both laity and clergy.

Our first meeting is pro bono. This is a time for us to get to know each other better, to explore what spiritual direction is and isn't, and get a feel for the journey ahead.

About Me

As a farmer's daughter and avid gardener, I have always loved experiencing the cycle of planting, growth, pruning and harvest, and then starting the next season. Whether this is in my garden or in the practice of spiritual direction, I have been blessed to see God's faithfulness through all seasons. My own spiritual journey with its twists and turns includes the seasons of doubt, struggle, longing, and grief over loss and then those wonderful and loving seasons of joy and fulfillment. In all these seasons of life, God has called me to help others toward spiritual freedom in Christ (2 Cor. 2:17) and to live blessedly in "joy and grief intertwined" (Isaiah 61:3).

My personal journey includes over 20 years in a corporate business career in the consumer food industry as well as an unexpected transition to ministry in my local church and a global ministry. I went from food for the tummy to food for the soul as I completed a MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at the Institute of Spiritual Formation, Talbot Seminary/Biola University. I continue to serve as a spiritual director at Biola's Center for Spiritual Renewal. In Fall 2021, I published a true story, The Kindness of Color: the story of two families and Mendez, et al. v. Westminster, the 1947 Desegregation of California Public Schools. It is the 1940s/WWII story of two kinds of racism and the kindness that brought hope: my family's journey from freedom to incarceration camps and the racism of segregated schools in California. This writing/publishing journey has shown me God's leading in new and exciting ways in yet another season of life.

I meet people for spiritual direction in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa/Irvine area, or by Zoom across time zones, state & country borders, and oceans. Thank you for considering me as you seek a spiritual director. It would be my privilege to journey with you.

About Me

I am a retired pastor who spent the bulk of my career in Chicago serving as the Director of Spiritual Transformation for an inner city ministry and a teaching pastor at a large suburban church. I am married to Anita who is also a spiritual director and podcaster. Both of us had been married previously and worked through the pain that accompanies that journey. We retired to Florida where I am active in a racial reconciliation work, teaching a bit, and offering spiritual direction. I love working with those who are going through a bit of a faith shift of some kind, those transitioning into another phase of life, those who feel stuck, and those who just kind of realize that what once worked for them spiritually isn’t working for them now.

About Me

As a spiritual director I help people listen with the Spirit to the story of the already-present activity of God in their lives in order to cultivate a deeper connection with him and to discern his movements in their life. I am a graduate of the C. John Weborg Center for Spiritual Direction at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago and have been directing since 2009.

With over 34 years of pastoral experience, I enjoy working with pastors and other church leaders. I work with the Core Community of Imago Christi (www.imagochristi.org), which develops spiritual formation resources and coaches Christian leaders and churches. Imago Christi is a team of spiritual formation specialists within Novo (formerly CRM) (www.novo.org). And, I am a certified life coach.

I graduated from Baylor University (B.A.) and Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M.). My wife Jill and I have two adult children. We make our home in North Carolina. I enjoy golf, and spending time in the mountains and at the beach.

I have a passion to listen to women going through grief and loss. In this busy world, it feels like a gift to offer one a time to be still, hear from the Holy Spirit, and notice where the Lord is on one's journey. Each one's story is unique and handwritten by the Lord - I am always humbled to hear how the Lord reveals Himself. I have a degree in Lay Counseling, Leader in Care Ministry within Church, Co-lead grief groups, earned a 150 hour certification in Grief and Loss from the Center for Loss and Life Transition in Fort Collins, CO, and a Graduate of the Transformational Listening Center Chicago as a Spiritual Director.

About Me

Nothing would give me greater joy than to help you to follow Christ. My work in spiritual formation dates back to when the term itself was being introduced into the evangelical church. During the 90's I worked with seminary students at the Center for Christian Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary. At the same time I earned a certificate of spiritual direction at Saint Thomas Theological Seminary in Denver under the tutelage of Howard Baker. I continued to practice the principles of people formation while the director of a leadership school in Albania. Perhaps it is helpful for you to know that God is helping me become more like Jesus in the crucible of a chronic and progressive neurological disease. Otherwise, I am employed full-time in various foreign projects.

I’ve had too much education: animal science at Cornell, international affairs at the Fletcher school/Tufts university, THM at DTS, and Doctor of ministry at DTS in cross cultural leadership.

About Me

My heart and passion is to create a safe space for men and women to experience a deep, abiding, transformational intimacy with God.

I have been serving in roles of shepherding, mentoring, intercessory prayer and spiritual direction for over thirty years. It was through my own journey with a spiritual director that I experienced God’s invitation to walk alongside others in the same way. I earned a Master of Arts in Theological Studies with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Seminary in Saint Paul, MN. And I completed my certification for spiritual direction at Christos Center for Spiritual Formation in Lino Lakes, MN.

I have experience in many forms of contemplative prayer, including Lectio Divina, centering prayer, the Prayer of Examen and the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. As a spiritual director, guide, and companion it has been such a joy and honor to walk alongside others listening, noticing and witnessing the ways God is present, speaking and moving in their lives. It is truly holy ground.

My wife Becki and I have three adult children and four amazing grandchildren.

About Me

My passion as a spiritual director is to see people personally experience the deep love of God and live out a power-filled and intimate walk with Christ in our complex world. I enjoy walking alongside men and women of all ages and backgrounds in their spiritual journey.

My journey as a spiritual director has grown out of a deep desire for my inner healing through soul care to know God more intimately, to know myself, and to walk in my true identity. The Enneagram has been a helpful tool in my journey of transformation.

Besides offering spiritual direction, God has opened many doors for me to offer contemplative retreats in which we can enjoy solitude and silence while meditating on God’s word, praying, and hanging out with God.

I have served in ministry over the years in a variety of ways, such as speaking at retreats for women and church leadership, teaching Bible studies, leading homeschool fellowship groups, and leading small groups for listening and group spiritual direction. I offer workshops for soul care with spiritual disciplines, prayer, Enneagram Personality Styles, and Immanuel Journaling.

I received my Certificate of Spiritual Direction from North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois. My husband and I have six grown children and now live outside of Chicago with our dog, Max. I love to take long walks in creation, read, and have deep conversations with family and friends over a good meal.

About Me

My heart is to create space for people to encounter God in fresh ways, enabling them to grow and flourish in their walk with Christ. I treasure time listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit as I sit with my directees. Having personally gained from spiritual direction, I value the opportunity to be a soul-mate on another's spiritual journey.

I also lead the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, having been trained by Dale Gish.

After having lived in Japan for 30 years as a missionary, I am now based in the U.S. Besides teaching ESL and Japanese classes, I currently serve as Chaplain of the Webber Institute for Worship Studies (IWS), a low-residency school based in FL; Spiritual Director for Accessible Hope International based in FL and Sierra Leone, West Africa; and a Global Trainer in Spiritual Formation and Worship Renewal through Faith and Learning Int'l. I have a doctorate in worship studies from IWS and advanced certificates in Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction from Moody Bible Institute. I have led and spoken at retreats in various countries and contexts.

I am an ordained Anglican priest and find great joy serving the people in my church, All Souls, in Indianapolis.

My daughter and granddaughter live near me, giving me joy-filled days. I love swimming, music, and time in nature, especially near the ocean. Of course, I love sushi and all things Japanese!
