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.
Today I’m drawing attention to the biblical roots of Christian spiritual direction by sharing four biblical narratives that are rich in spiritual guidance. There are other biblical narratives that undergird spiritual guidance; leave a comment about some that have caught your attention.
I appreciate all who support, subscribe, and share this independent endeavor in spiritual formation with friends and family. If you haven’t already — please consider choosing a free or paid subscription as well as gifting a subscription to someone who would be interested in knowing about the certificate program in spiritual direction.
If you have more questions about spiritual direction as a Christian spiritual formation practice, or are interested in how to become a spiritual guide, I’d love to engage in a converation with you.
