Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Directors/Companions are available for listening and prayer as you discern the ongoing leading of God in your life. Some people find that they like to engage a spiritual director during challenging times or times of discernment in their lives.
What to expect from a time of Spiritual Direction:
· About an hour of time
· A person experienced with the spiritual life and spiritual direction, usually with some kind of formal training in these
· A person who loves God and all of God’s people
· A person who understands sin and who operates out of Christ’s grace
· A person with an active life of prayer and who also sees a spiritual director
· Time for silence to center awareness on the movement and presence of the Holy Spirit with you.
· Prayer
· Deep Listening
· Sometimes there will be questions to help broaden awareness. There may also be teaching or coaching on spiritual disciplines, if desired. Some Directors may provide assignments or make suggestions for a next step. However, the main emphasis will be on honoring and acknowledging where we see God’s movement and nudges through what you share.
