SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

 

Christian Spiritual Direction is the practice of listening for the voice and movement of God in someone's life. The basis for spiritual direction is that God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — is continually inviting us into intimate relationship and a deeper and more personal awareness of the Presence. While God is the true “Director,” spiritual direction helps us to notice His divine work in all of life. Richard Foster defines spiritual direction as “an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life.”

Spiritual direction sessions are one hour per month between director and directee. During this time the director and directee discern through conversation where and how God is moving. Both parties have full confidence in the leadership of the Holy Spirit to bring these things to the surface.  Spiritual direction is not counseling, mentoring or discipling, it is active listening for the activity of God in any area the directee would like to discuss.

Sessions are one hour in length and are scheduled individually. Spiritual direction is relationally centered and meant to be experienced over a quantity of quality time.  An ongoing, monthly rhythm is recommended.
