Begin Your JourneyWhat Is Spiritual Direction?
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
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10
Your Spiritual Director
Spiritual Director
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.
