A Guided Journey to a
Deeper Spiritual Life
Discover a More Profound Sense of Purpose and Connection Through an Intentional Listening Conversation.
Introduction.
In the busyness of modern life, it can be difficult to find the space and structure to connect with your faith in a meaningful way.
You may desire a deeper prayer life or a greater sense of God’s presence, but feel unsure where to begin.
What is Spiritual Direction?
A brief summary from Richard Foster:
1. Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life.
2. Spiritual direction involves a process through which one person helps another person understand what God is doing and saying.
3. Discernment is a crucial gift in the work of spiritual direction.
4. In spiritual direction there is absolutely no domination or control.
5. The spiritual director/mentor/pastor guides another in spiritual things through the spiritual world by spiritual means.
6. God has ordained that there be spiritual directors/mentors/pastors among his people. This is the structure of love in practice.
7. Supremely, spiritual directors/mentors/pastors are persons who have a sense of being “established” in God. Otherwise they are too dangerous to be allowed into the soul space of others.
More About Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction provides an “address” on the house of your life so that you can be “addressed” by God in prayer. When this happens, your life begins to be transformed in ways you hadn’t planned or counted on, for God works in wonderful and surprising ways.
— Henri Nouwen, Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith
While the phrase “spiritual direction” may sound a bit lofty, it is simply a relationship through which one person assists another in attending to the presence and call of God in all of life. Though not always called by this name, spiritual direction has been a vital ministry in many streams of the Church for hundreds of years.
