Spiritual Direction

Get Started

Wise Guides for the Spiritual Journey

We all need a safe space to process our journey, open up to God’s presence, and remain grounded through the opportunities and challenges of life. 

A Spiritual Director comes alongside you to help you notice and respond to the gentle movements of God in your life.

Through conversation, reflection, and silence, they guide you to stay connected to the real-time presence and love of God. Spiritual Directors are companions that help us live and lead from 'the overflow'.

“Spiritual Directors are there to help others attend to God’s presence and revelation, and prepare to respond to him. In other words, they help people attune themselves to God.”

— David Benner, Sacred Companions

Why Soul Care Spiritual Direction?

At Soul Care, we believe the soul is the source of everything we do—when it thrives, so does the rest of our life and leadership. That’s why we help people cultivate a rhythm of reflection, connection, and intention—guided by a spiritual director who is fully present to their journey with God. We all need spaces like this, to be known and guided.

Deepen your relationship with God

Learn to live from a place of healing and wholeness. Rediscover your identity and rootedness in Christ.

2

Direction through transition or loss

Learn to live from a place of healing and wholeness. Rediscover your identity and rootedness in Christ.

3

Meaningful prayer life

Move beyond routines. Enter into prayer as communion—where you are seen, known, and loved.

4

Discernment in life’s big decisions

From this place of prayer and inner attentiveness, you’ll begin to recognize God’s leading.

5

Turn restlessness into transformation

Let the ache for “something more” become your invitation to soul-deep change.

6

Make space to be still

Stillness is where love grows, clarity emerges, and the deepest truths find room to rise.

“The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.”

— Richard J. Foster

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of Spiritual Direction?

Many times we find ourselves isolated due to leadership position, physical location, or other circumstances, especially when it comes to sharing our inner journey with God. In that context, spiritual direction provides a vital relational connection with a mature and trained guide that often brings significant breakthrough and deep encouragement. Although one’s circumstances may not change over the course of a session, people say they leave those sessions feeling deeply peaceful: grounded, centered, hopeful, and aware of God’s work in and around them.

What’s the difference between counseling, coaching, and spiritual direction?

There are many forms of “personal journeying” that help us grow. While more could be said, a simple way to think about the differences between counselors, coaches, and spiritual directors is this: Counselors and therapists skillfully help us unpack various dimensions of past hurts and wounds, and bring us on a path of healing and more authentic living. Coaches help us name and align around our vision for the future and take practical steps to get there. Spiritual Directors help us pay attention, and be responsive, to what God is doing in us and around us right now. All three modalities are interwoven and can be helpful during various seasons of life.

How do I get paired with a director?

Feel free to choose one of our spiritual directors directly from our list. Many things can contribute to a sense of connection including schedule availability (time zone), gender, location, language, past experiences, or their training.

What are spiritual direction sessions actually like?

Once you’re meeting with your director:

Spiritual Direction appointments are 50 minutes long. Your director normally begins with a practice like silence, scripture (Lectio Divina), or prayer. There’s always openness to walk through specific pressing or relevant things in your life, but you may also want to explore your desire for growth in relationship with God and self. Direction is highly customized to what your soul needs, and the relationship typically grows in trust and relevancy as time passes.

Do I need to prepare for my session?

There is nothing you’ll need to do to prepare for a spiritual direction session. Come as you are.
