Resourcing & Connections (aka Events)
If you know me AT ALL, you’d know I love sharing and resourcing people with what’s going on. Lately, my interests are about chaplaincy, preaching, women in ministry, spiritual formation or spiritual direction, leadership, and various justice issues (immigration, faith freedom, anti-racism, ecology/ climate-change). Come and join me in these online/in-person learning events. I’d love to have conversation about what we learned!
Spiritual Direction
I’ve learned empathetic listening from various perspectives: counseling, chaplaincy, and spiritual direction as well as from being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and neighbor. I’ve combined all these skills and am making myself available to you as a trained spiritual director. Let’s talk and see if working with me is a good fit for you and your inner journey.

These are my engagements (upcoming and previous) posted below. I share because they are markers of my growth as a preacher and maybe someone else might see them and be encouraged in their walk with God.

What are you doing? Come with me to a quiet place sermon from 1 Kings and Mark 6
Hear a personal testimony from my time of struggle and transition in leadership. Hear how God reveals Godself and offers next steps to busy leaders from two examples in our Bible – one from the Old and one from the New Testament. Consider how one leader’s prayers for themselves and for their work impacted their…
