Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Direction is the
ministry of listening, discernment, and prayer in a confidential
setting of encouragement and compassion. The underlying
assumption of spiritual direction is that God acts in every area
of our lives.
Those in spiritual direction
process God's leading with someone who works with them to
discern the activity of God in their life. The goal of
spiritual direction is that those who enter into direction would
grow closer to God and become more the persons God created us to
be in Jesus Christ.
You
will need to have
at
least 6 sessions with a registered
Spiritual Director
and go on at least one
weekend retreat. Spiritual
Directors can be found in almost every city and your
Servants mentor can help you locate one if you are having
trouble. Alternatively
