1. What might bring you to spiritual direction?

A crisis in life, belief, vocation, health, family, and community that makes you wonder where/who God is. You may feel lost and unsure of what to do and who to turn to. God might feel silent, distant, and absent. Your prayer may feel dead and no longer comfortable. Your faith and theology may not seem right anymore, and it feels like you're losing faith.
You are the spiritual leader but feel isolated and lonely. You value support in bringing how things really are into conversation with God in a confidential space that doesn't compromise your standing.

You want to find out more for yourself.
You are looking for "more" and have no idea what that means or where to look.

You want to make wise decisions that don't rely on people or external signs but insight into a trustworthy sense of where God is leading you in life.

2. Is spiritual direction therapy, pastoral counseling, or life coaching?

No. I don't counsel, provide therapy, or spiritual "prescriptions." I will not and cannot fix you. We depend on God to speak, move, and have his way. You will determine God's voice and purpose in your situation. I will listen and ask questions to help you clarify what you're hearing or sensing.

3. How many sessions are necessary?

One session might give you the insight/experience you need to get on with God yourself.

Sometimes, a few sessions are helpful.

Once a month is usual. We might start with 3 sessions and decide if more would help.

Some people come monthly for a period of time. Some in professional ministry find it an essential ongoing part of their support structure, especially in these anxious times when people expect them to have answers, and they find that God is not that simple.

Is there a cost?

I charge $50 a session, except for the first session.

Money should never be an issue. We can discuss what you can afford and go from there.
