What Is Spiritual Direction?

A contemplative
companionship.

A contemplative practice of prayerful companionship — where a trained director walks alongside you, helping you notice and respond to the presence and direction of the Holy Spirit. Not counseling. Not coaching. Simply a quiet, sacred space to listen.

Understanding Spiritual Direction

What spiritual direction
is — and is not.

Spiritual Direction Is Not
  • Therapy or counseling
  • Advice-giving or problem-solving
  • Preaching or theological instruction
  • A quick fix or program
Spiritual Direction Is
  • Sitting in the presence of God with prayer and silence
  • Prayerful companionship on the journey
  • Attentiveness to the direction of the Holy Spirit
  • An unhurried, contemplative practice

"Be still, and know that I am God."

Psalm 46:10

Spiritual Director

MDiv. D.Min. Pastor · 24 Years

God has blessed me on the journey, including the opportunity to study, learn, and grow — earning a B.A. in Social Work from the University of Michigan-Flint, an M.Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I am currently being trained in Spiritual Direction through the Leadership Transformations Selah program. I live in Stillwater, MN with my wife Natalie, and serve as the Pastor of CrossWinds Community Church. My hobbies include hiking, reading, history, and golf.

I am excited to offer Spiritual Direction because in my many years of ministry and as a follower of Christ, I know the importance of slowing down and hearing the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I look forward to meeting with you.
