Meet Daniel

“You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.” (St. Augustine of Hippo)

One thing I have learned throughout my life and in ministry is that true spiritual rest can be elusive. Often we find our hearts yearning for a moment and a place where we can encounter God and find holy rest for the soul. I understand spiritual direction as an opportunity to be a friend who holds that holy space open for encounter, discovery, and rest. This understanding is woven with diverse life experience and a commitment to provide care to other ministry leaders.

As a spiritual director, I draw upon my life experience to foster a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental space. My spiritual journey includes both the Pentecostal and Anglican spiritual traditions. It also includes decades of experience in ministry leadership in various contexts. This diverse background has enriched my understanding of Christian faith and spiritual experience.

In my spiritual direction practice, I integrate elements from both traditions, offering a holistic approach to spiritual guidance. I understand and appreciate the importance of both the dynamic, experiential aspects of faith and the contemplative, reflective dimensions. I draw from the Pentecostal tradition's emphasis on personal experience, the power of prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. At the same time, I incorporate the contemplative practices, liturgical rhythms, and theological depth found within the Anglican tradition. This allows me to meet individuals wherever they are on their spiritual journeys, regardless of their specific denominational or spiritual backgrounds.

As a spiritual director, I offer a safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their faith, regardless of their denominational affiliation. I honor the unique spiritual journeys of each person, helping them navigate their questions, doubts, and spiritual longings as we seek God together.

I have been married to my wife, Rhonda, since 2000. Together we have three sons and live in Fort Worth, Texas. I hold a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Truett Seminary at Baylor University as well as a PhD in Theological Studies from Regent University. I look forward to meeting you!
