Hear the Whisper in the Heart: Exploring Spiritual Direction
In a time when noise and distractions are constant, the need for deep listening has never been greater. Spiritual direction offers a sacred space to slow down, pay attention, and discern the quiet movement of God. This webinar introduces the ministry of spiritual direction, distinguishing it from other helping relationships such as counseling, chaplaincy, and pastoral care.
This webinar will explore different approaches to spiritual direction, how to find a spiritual director, and what it means to become one. For those called to guide others or seeking guidance themselves, this is an invitation to listen more deeply and follow more faithfully.
Join the conversation on Monday, September 8, 2025, at 6:30 PM (EDT).
