Is it Time for Spiritual Direction?

Writer's picture: Krista KeaneKrista Keane

Hello Friends!


I may be a little biased, but YES, of course it's time! It's never too late and never too early to start meeting with a spiritual director.


This post is to update you on a few things as I near the end of my first year of spiritual direction school and launch My Soul Space.

 

If you were seeing me for spiritual direction last year, I’m open for appointments now that the Holiday Season is over. I would love to meet with you monthly!

 

 

It is a great honor to receive referrals, so if you know of anyone who would benefit from spiritual direction, please send them my way. Starting in May the cost of a one-hour session will be $35 for new directees. If you are seeing me regularly on a different payment plan, please know that will remain in place for the near future.

 

Okay, so I get this a lot, what is spiritual direction anyway?

 

My favorite definition of Christian based, contemplative spiritual direction is from my friend and instructor, Danny Mullins: 

"It is partnering with the Holy Spirit in noticing how God is with us, and exploring how we are being invited to respond to God.”

 

If you are familiar with Christian based counseling, it will feel similar in some ways. We will sit together in the comfort of my office or over Zoom. The atmosphere will be safe and welcoming. You are invited to talk about whatever is on your mind, and I will be a compassionate listener. I might ask a few questions, or invite us to pray, or utilize some of the spiritual practices on which I’m being trained. We won’t rush to fix things or strive for a certain outcome, but together we will be attentive to what God is stirring in you.

 

In my own experience of meeting monthly with a spiritual director, I have always walked away from my sessions feeling at a better place than when I walked in. I have felt safe, heard, and loved. Even though spiritual direction does not require the work often done in counseling therapy, I have experienced results and outcomes in my life from it. It’s helped me to sense God’s presence in my daily life and connect deeper to Him and His love for me. Spiritual direction has changed my life in profound ways.


The first session of spiritual direction with me is complimentary. It's a great opporutniy to sit down and see if we are a good fit going forward. Please reach out if you have any questions, or would like to discuss it further.

 

To close, I would like to invite you to Be Still, a five-week study I’ll be leading. Click the link below for more details and to sign up.

 

Description: “Be still and know that I am God” is an invitation that has echoed throughout history. But how do we apply it to our daily lives? The reality is this: We don’t need to be static for our hearts to be still. In the midst of a full, busy life, we can spend quiet time with God. 

 

Day & Time: February 20 – March 20, 630 – 730p

Location: Wonderful Mercy Church

 

With love and prayers,

 

Krista

 

“When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.”

Ephesians 3:14 - 17
