JourneyMates
Christian Spiritual Direction and Soul Care Resources
About This Resource
JourneyMates Ministries offers large and small group gatherings for Christian soul care and spiritual formation through retreats, ministry, and training, while also connecting participants to individual spiritual direction and care. We recommend only JourneyMates-trained facilitators who annually affirm our Statement of Faith and Covenant of Confidentiality, ensuring alignment with our vision, mission, and core values,. While we highlight these leaders, many other capable spiritual directors and soul care providers also serve in the regions where JourneyMates is present.
What is Spiritual Direction and Soul Care?
“Christian spiritual direction is a ministry of holy listening in which one person helps another notice the Triune God’s active presence and perceive the Holy Spirit’s movement in their ordinary life. Spiritual directors journey with directees, assisting as they deepen their lived intimacy with Christ, the One True Director.” ~ Richmont Graduate School of Spiritual Direction
“Soul Care– A hybrid relationship integrating practices of spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, discipleship and coaching to guide another person in the care of their soul. Soul care gives attention to the whole person, their story past, present and future, both successes and failures to help them see and discern ways to walk more intimately with God while healing, growing and succeeding in life endeavors. Care for the soul includes spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, vocational, financial and other aspects of our life and being that influence our ability to live with wholeness. Caring for the soul involves growth in self-awareness, God-Awareness and the awareness of others in need.” Potters Inn
