The Unhurried Soul: How Slowing Down Shapes Spiritual Direction

Yesterday was a rest day for me. I call it a day of sabbathing.

It is my full-on assault on hurry sickness in life. Spiritual formation into a richer life with Jesus depends on defeating hurry. Effective spiritual direction does, also.

Spiritual direction is one of the most sought-after practices within Christian spirituality and plays a vital role in the process of spiritual formation. Rooted in various streams of Christian tradition, this biblical practice helps cultivate a deeper awareness of God’s presence and a clearer discernment of His work in our daily lives. As a transformative practice of spiritual formation, its gift is profound: it invites you to listen more attentively to God’s voice and become more attuned to His real presence. This series on spiritual direction and guidance will provide a brief introduction and orientation, whether you're seeking spiritual direction for your own growth or sensing a calling to guide others into a deeper awareness of God’s presence.
