There are times along the way when we find that we need a wise listener who has been down the path a little, who can hear our concerns and doubts, and help us to discern what God is inviting us to.
My work is to listen well, to be on the lookout for the ways that God is breaking in, and to help people to navigate this stage of their journey.
I’ve been in an active, global Christian ministry for 45 years. I have worked on teams in the US and internationally, raised 3 children overseas, cared for family members with chronic illnesses and aging, earned a Masters of theology - and generally learned a thing or two.
I offer individual spiritual direction and coaching (either in person, or virtually), lead workshops and retreats for teams and organizations, and provide resources for spiritual formation for people at all stages of the journey. Contact me to start the discussion of what I can offer to you or your team.

The most important thing going on right now is what God is doing. We get in the way, we talk too much. The most important thing being said right now is something God is saying, marvelous things are being done and said right now. Look. Listen.
