There are a number of important and recurring issues that arise for the contemporary spiritual director:  grief and depression, personality and spirituality styles, the meaning of dreams and the role of the unconscious, sex-related issues, retreat ministry, genograms, direction with people of other traditions or faiths, setting up a spiritual direction practice, recognizing basic pathologies, partnering and referring, ethics, professionalism, peer supervision, etc. While directors need to engage in life-long education, basic orientation and some discussion on some particular issues will help prepare the director when and if they arise. Personality, dreams, sexual issues, grief and depression, retreats and professionalism are the expected topics for 2020.

Jesus you speak to me through the words of the gospels. May I respond to your call today. Teach me to recognise your hand at work in my daily living. #sacredspace.ie

.@ThisIsCompass @TheMeetingHouse @KPetersenTFC Food for thought: Protestants who were brought up with a solid bible knowledge experience the movement from conquering scripture for the sake of information to surrendering to scripture for the sake of transformation. Thoughts?

Spiritual formation gives us some really important Christian tools, primarily the spiritual practices to meet the deep longings and the big challenges of life.
Rev. Dr. Paul Bramer

The testimonies of people who had experienced the benefits of having a spiritual director were moving and inspiring. Your ministry is a wonderful expression of God's love and tender care for His treasures here on earth.

There's so much more you can learn with other people than when you're just reading scripture by yourself. The Spiritual Direction program has expanded my thinking about God, spirituality and how very different we all relate to Him. I highly recommend this program.
Tammy Pierce, Emmaus Student

The course has developed a new hunger in me for scripture. I also appreciate the time of group spiritual direction as we process together between classes.
Lynne Ball, Emmaus Student

Taking time in spiritual direction to reflect on where God is, day-to-day, has awakened in me, a clarity of vision. It has renewed my passion and continues to be a crucial part of my spiritual discipline. The impact of spiritual direction affects not only me, but my congregation and the community we serve.
Rev. Angie Song, Associate Pastor, Vaughan Community Church

The first course – Introduction to Spiritual Formation – gave us high quality instruction that incorporated visuals, art, music, spiritual direction exercises as well as teaching that reflected a scholarly breadth of understanding and insight into both historical and current Christianity. I’d recommend this course, alone, for anyone interested in gaining a solid introduction into ancient-contemporary Christianity, and grasping something of how our orthopraxy and orthodoxy can fit even better together! Emmaus is a long-waited for gift, to believers and churches in the GTA and surrounding areas.

Ministry is challenging and can leave those who pursue it feeling depleted and lonely. Spiritual direction replenishes me. It deepens my perspective, keeps me grounded in God’s Word and reminds me that I am connected with Jesus and his community of friends.
Rev. Andrew Gordon, Pastor, Compass Church
Enter author information.
I discovered that I was serving out of a depletion—a growing depletion of soul. And so I knew that I needed someone to come alongside of me, and not listen for me—but to listen with me. And I think every emerging leader needs a spiritual director. Not to replace God. Not to replace the discipline of being in silence, in solitude, and listening to God through scripture, through His holy word, through the presence of the Holy Spirit—but to help clarify the questions.
Rev. Marc Gauvreau – PAOC Discipleship & Spiritual Direction
Enter author information.
Spiritual direction and spiritual formation has been a journey that I will continue for as long as I’m in ministry, and as long as I have breath because the benefits are just so astounding, and I can’t imagine carrying on in ministry without it.
Rev. Ron Shantz, Executive Director, Front Line Outreach
Enter author information.
How is your relationship deepened and nurtured in the context of your ministry? Many in ministry often say it’s not, and we’re all running around like a chicken without a head. It’s crucial, that we all have—especially in ministry—a spiritual director. These conversations about spiritual direction are immensely helpful because it starts where you are at—of your own ego and of your own desire to be somebody important in ministry. Now I can lead a life where I'm responding to God, rather than soliciting a response from God.
Rev. John Kim – Pastor Bridgeway Church
Enter author information.
The Individual Retreat is a process over a period of days where you interact with scripture, learn ways of praying, and develop that kind of personal connection with God. So it’s a process of developing our soul-connection—spirit-connection—with God, so that we are seeing God’s work in daily life, and that we are creating space for God in the crush of the normal things that happen in our daily lives. So that is one of the formation processes that an organization like Emmaus can facilitate or help with in churches—is to run retreats like that, that help people get into that mindset.
