You “sound for them the depths you sail above” is a marvelous line in a sonnet by Malcolm Guite entitled The Christian Plummet. My heart so resonated with this poem. I knew it’s truth and was deeply encouraged that my own journey could benefit others on their own.
Perhaps you’ve sounded some depths of your own. Life's experiences often leave us with questions, wounds, hopes, and longings that cannot be answered through information alone. Spiritual direction offers a sacred space to slow down, tell your story, and become more aware of God's presence in the midst of your journey. I companion followers of Jesus who desire deeper intimacy with God, healing from life's challenges, and greater clarity in discerning His leading. Together, we explore the ways God has been at work in your story, through seasons of joy and sorrow, certainty and doubt, growth and struggle.
After serving a quarter century in pastoral ministry, I have a deep compassion for those who serve in such a demanding role. Also, I possess an understanding of the challenges that come with the peculiar challenge of shepherding a local church. My own life experience has fueled a passion for spiritual direction and cohort facilitation aimed at helping others to not only survive but to thrive spiritually in the midst of the crucible that is pastoral ministry. I believe that thriving spiritually is not just for the fortunate few, but for anyone willing to seek and listen with an open heart. My work is devoted to help others discover significant spiritual thriving, to navigate stormy seas, and to find a kind of buoyancy, even from the depths.
Sounding Depths represents my effort to pass along to others what has been passed along to me. Friendship, really, on the long journey home.
