Spiritual Direction
Here at Big Valley Grace Community church we want to offer to you the opportunity to receive spiritual direction.
Do you desire a deeper relationship and intimacy with God?
Do you find yourself feeling increasingly dry in your spiritual life?
Are you seeking to discern God’s will and His movement and direction in your life?
Are you longing for greater integration between your inner life and outer life?
Spiritual direction is not counseling. Its emphasis is not on problem solving or fixing. Rather, spiritual direction emphasizes deepening intimacy with Christ, learning to discern His will, and allowing Him to transform you into His image.
Spiritual direction provides scheduled time with a director, who comes alongside and listens with you while encouraging you to attend to the Holy Spirit in the transformation process.
David Benner in His book “Sacred Companions” defines classic spiritual direction as “an ancient form of Christian soul care that goes back to the earliest days of the church. (It) is a one-on-one relationship organized around prayer and conversation directed toward deepening intimacy with God….spiritual directors... do not follow a standardized curriculum or implement a prepackaged program.... And most important, they seek to help those with whom they journey to discern the presence and leading of the Spirit of God-the One Jesus sent as our true spiritual director. (Pg. 17)
