Committed To Your Spiritual Growth
The spiritual journey is not a straight line. It is a path that winds through rich landscapes, blistering wildernesses, and bustling centers of activity. It is better traveled with a friend. That is what this ministry is about - friendship in the journey to Christlikeness. This friendship is offered in one-with-one direction, group direction, retreats, and spiritual team development.
At the heart of our ministry is the belief that being spirit-formed is a lifelong journey of growth and discovery. Our desire is to walk alongside you on this journey, offering guidance and support at every step.
Thank you for considering our ministry of spiritual formation. We would be honored to partner with you on your spiritual journey, whether as an individual seeking personal growth, or as part of a ministry team seeking to grow spiritually together.
What is Spiritual Direction?
The following definition is from the Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association (ESDA). Daniel is a member of ESDA and adheres to their ethical guidelines:
The Christian life often entails times of spiritual uncertainty—situations in which we are unsure of God’s will, confused about what God is doing in our circumstances, or generally dry in our relationship with God. Spiritual direction is a safe place to explore your questions and concerns about your life with God.
A Christian spiritual director is a trained listener who will accompany you as you share about your spiritual journey, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity along the way, as well as your personal reactions and responses. Hospitable, confidential, and grounded in biblical truth, spiritual direction is a ministry that helps you grow in prayer and live into your calling as a follower of Christ.
