spiritual direction
what is it? • who is it for? • how do you start? • what does it cost?
Since the Church began, various ways of deepening one’s faith in God have been in existence. The early Church Fathers focused on an examination of the heart, while others have focused on one’s outpouring of service to others. Still, more recently, some have looked at direction as a therapeutic approach. All in all, spiritual direction provides an avenue for a relationship with God based on intimacy, trust and grace and helps one respond to Jesus’ words in John 15 to grow in their walk with the Lord.
Christianity Today had a helpful article in January 2010 on spiritual direction.
