The demands of life, ministry, relational conflicts, health problems, chronic stress, and more can drain our souls of life and impact how we experience the love and presence of Jesus. Spiritual Direction is a safe space for you to bring the life of your soul and reawaken your love for and connection with God. 

What is Spiritual Direction?

Contrary to how it might sound, a Spiritual Director does not direct you on what to do, but directs your attention and heart toward how God is working with you and speaking to you here and now. Your Spiritual Director listens to the Lord with you, offering empathy and guidance in your spiritual and psychological journey to help you experience God’s deep love for you and follow the leading of the Spirit in your daily life, relationships, work, and more. 

How is Spiritual Direction different from counseling or coaching? 

Counseling focuses on resolving specific problems with mental health, compulsive behavior, and relational conflict. It’s natural for stressors and hurts to surface in spiritual direction, but the focus is less on “fixing” and more on understanding the individual’s experience of God through these events.

Coaching helps people to set and realize their goals to advance in their life or work. In Spiritual Direction the goals are to deepen in relationship to God and become more like Jesus.
