What is Spiritual Direction?


Spiritual direction is the centuries-old practice of coming alongside people as their spiritual companion—their spiritual friend—and helping them hear and respond to God’s voice in their lives. Distinct from a counselor, mentor, or life coach, a spiritual director strives to be an attentive listener and avid prayer warrior on behalf of his or her directee. Spiritual direction, therefore, is ideally suited for anyone who desires to grow in intimacy with Christ. I have been involved in the ministry of spiritual direction for over fifteen years and received my spiritual director training through the Christos program. Individual sessions are usually one hour long and occur monthly. As far as the fee goes, I use a sliding scale of $75-100 per session.
