About Me
I am a certified Spiritual Director through CCPC global and have received my training and practicum experience through Tyndale Seminary. I also have an M.A. from Providence Theological Seminary in counselling and a Bachelor Religious Education and Bachelor of Theology from Emmanuel Bible College as well as a B.A. in Sociology from Waterloo University.
As a pastor in an evangelical Baptist church for 20 years, I was troubled by a congregation that was deeply entrenched in Biblical knowledge but seemed to have little relational experience with God. However, in 2013 through a book that our church librarian asked me to read, I discovered that the Spiritual formation practices of the early church contained the answers that would move myself and the members of my church from a head knowledge to a heart experience. My journey began with a weekend prayer retreat guided by a gifted Spiritual director where God began leading me towards becoming a Spiritual Director. Over the next 5 years as I explored and implemented Spiritual formation practices of prayer, discernment, and Scriptural meditation I began to form a clearer understanding of what it means to live the Spirit filled life. As I passed what I was learning onto my congregation I began to see some amazing transformation among those members who chose to follow a similar transformational journey.
If you are searching for a path that will lead you to a deeper walk with Christ and you are willing to intentionally seek God’s leading in your life, then I would be pleased to journey with you as your Spiritual Director. I especially enjoy working with evangelical pastors and churches who are discovering that Spiritual formation may be the answer for their church.
