What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is a powerful tool for anyone looking to deepen their faith and connect more with God.
Unlike other spiritual practices, it involves a companion to accompany you on your spiritual journey.
A spiritual direction session is both a contemplative and dialectic encounter whereby the director and directee both seek to hold space for God to reveal truth, move hearts, and help discern what actions may need to be taken in challenging situations that life presents.
Directees usually meet once a month for an hour session. Over time, the directee learns what it feels like to consistently be directed back to how God is moving in their own hearts. Processing spiritual issues verbally or in silence with a director can quickly become a beloved practice and powerful tool for growth and transformation.
While it is not counseling, it may feel similar in some ways. Amy is well connected with licensed mental health practitioners to make referrals if issues become clinical.
