“Heading into my first spiritual direction session, I was unsure of what to expect, so I was both hopeful and apprehensive. Spiritual direction is something that meets a need I didn’t realize I had until I started. It is wonderfully Christ-centered and Biblically based. It has helped me to pay attention to what my body and soul are saying, while always directing me back to Scripture. Mike and his ministry at Sounding Depths have rejuvenated my personal spiritual walk and have helped me think through difficult questions of life, family, and ministry.”

“Before starting a spiritual direction relationship with Mike Hamby and Sounding Depths Ministry, I often felt like I was running on empty in ministry. It’s so easy to be busy doing good things for God, and forget how important it is to slow down enough to notice His presence with me. At times, I found myself longing for a deeper connection, but not taking the time to get there.
Spiritual direction has become a safe and steady place for me to pause, listen, and process what God is doing in my life. Mike doesn’t give me quick fixes but gently helps me pay attention to what’s going on in my life and the Spirit’s voice. Over time, this rhythm has helped me find clarity, renewed joy in ministry, and a deeper intimacy with Jesus. I would absolutely recommend Mike and Sounding Depths to anyone who needs to slow down for a moment, grow closer to God, and learn to notice His presence in everyday life.”
