Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. -- Philippians 2:9-11 -- |

Spiriual Direction Spiritual guidance/direction is an on-going relationship in which either a group or two individuals (a directee and a director) meeting on a regular basis, specifically for the purpose of becoming more attuned to God's presence in all of life. Eugene Petersen, a prominent author, describes spiritual direction as:"... teaching people to pray, to discern the presence of grace in events and feelings, affirming the presence of God at the heart of life, sharing a search for light through a dark passage in the pilgrimage, guiding the formation of a self-understanding that is biblically spiritual instead of merely psychological or sociological." He goes on to say that it is "space to explore the everyday ordinariness for the presence of God and workings of grace" - precisely at those times when "nothing seems to be happening." - One on one appointments - Group Spiritual Direction (4 people/ten month covenant, new groups begin every January and September. Other start date available on request. ) - Quite Days and Retreats - Seminars and introductions to contemplative ways of being with God - Referral list of spiritual directors - Labyrinth Walk - Every 2nd Sunday of each month from 6pm-8pm at Seattle First Baptist
