Whether you seek a spiritual director during a specific season of your life or engage with one as part of your regular spiritual practices, spiritual direction is beneficial in many ways. It can connect you in relationship with:
- Someone with a perspective outside of your normal circles.
- Someone who reminds you of the basics—God’s love, care, and constancy through all of life’s circumstances.
- Someone to stay awake with you on the road when you are spiritually weary.
- Someone who keeps the faith when yours feels weak.
- Someone to lift you before God while you struggle with issues that aren’t solve quickly or easily.
- Someone to celebrate God’s work of transformation with you and for you.
- Someone who values and loves you in Christ and enjoys giving you that gift in Jesus’ name.
What to Expect:
- You can meet with a spiritual director either in person, over the phone or via video conferencing.
- A session usually lasts for about an hour and takes place about once a month. (Our sessions on retreat are usually 35-45 minutes)
- Each spiritual director sets their own fee (if any), on retreat it is FREE!
- Every meeting is confidential, and the spiritual director will guide the dialogue through attentive listening and thoughtful questions.
