Are you longing for spiritual sustainability in your life, your work, and your soul?

Do you yearn to take your relationship with God from your head to your heart, from knowledge to experience? 

  • "I entered spiritual direction with both curiosity and wariness. I was wary because I have experienced abuse from people who claimed to have a word of God and wisdom for me. But I was curious because I saw the potential blessing of having a spiritual companion walking alongside me in as I go deeper in my relationship with God. As I was praying whether to enter into spiritual direction at all, God brought Jill to me. Jill is truly that God-given companion. My time with her is bathed with prayer and filled with the love of God. The Holy Spirit always feels near when we meet. Jill listens deeply and she helps me to see where God is at work and encourages me to think and pray deeply. She is not directive - telling me what to do or think - but she asks incisive questions that prompt me to go deeper with Jesus. I know I can be “real” with her, without judgement. My questions and doubts are welcome, and not dismissed with platitudes. Jill’s deep faith and belief that God will meet us, as we meet together, inspires me to believe the same. And He does meet us there! I’m so grateful for Jill’s spiritual friendship and her gentle wisdom on my journey."

  • "Through spiritual direction with Jill, I have experienced soul care, guidance, and a renewed awareness of God's presence. Jill is a safe space for all questions, feelings and wrestlings, and she helps me to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit living within me. I have seen fruit and growth in myself that has come from my time with Jill, and I think it's something all could greatly benefit from."
