Spiritual Direction
In spiritual direction, two people put their full attention to the work of God in one of their lives. A spiritual director listens with you as you listen to God.
Spiritual direction is fruitful for anyone who wants a deeper experience with God. For those who get a paycheck from a church or a ministry, there's a particular urgency for spiritual direction. There are too many people in ministry burning themselves out with unhealthy emotional habits.
Spiritual direction provides a safe haven for asking big questions, expressing fearsome doubts, saying things out loud you can't say anywhere else.
Whether you're serving in any role on a church staff, a missionary, church planter, seminary student or church volunteer, meeting regularly with a spiritual director is one important piece of a self-care plan for doing ministry for the long haul. In the frantic busyness of life, work, family, & ministry, spiritual direction holds a still, quiet, & intentional space in your schedule for listening deeply to what God has been speaking to you.
Sessions can be done in person at the Abbey or via video with Zoom.
