What is spiritual direction?

Spiritual Direction is an ancient practice of noticing the presence and work of God in another’s life. It is a safe space to ask questions, to reflect and to share about your unique faith journey. Spiritual Direction is not counseling or coaching, as it is not focused on problems or goals in your life, but rather it is focused on the presence and work of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. As a spiritual director, I am not directing your spiritual life. Instead, together we are listening and discerning how God is directing your life.

How does it work?

Spiritual Direction sessions are a time of prayer and conversation about your experience of God. Unlike most conversations where both people are sharing and listening, this time is set aside for me to prayerfully listen to you. I ask questions - you reflect and share - and I listen. Together, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we may also pray, read scripture or use silence to discern God’s communication with you. You don’t need to prepare anything before our conversation, although any questions and observations are always welcomed.

Each session is one hour and we typically meet once a month. Some people meet for direction for a specific season (discerning a decision, life transition, etc.) and some prefer to meet over many seasons, as long as it helps them on their journey. Fees are on a sliding scale of $40-75 per session. Through prayer and practical financial consideration, you decide how much to pay. We can talk in person or through FaceTime or Zoom.

I offer a complimentary consultation to answer any questions you have about Spiritual Direction and to determine if Spiritual Direction is a good choice for you.

Let's Get Started

“Carroll Lane is a gift to me straight from God. She uses her discernment, awareness, grace and unconditional love for others to lead theo to a spiritual awakening and does it with such truth. Since meeting with her regularly, I find myself becoming more aware of why I take certain turns in life, the timing of God’s plan, and the beauty of the path even during difficulties. I feel motivated to keep going and to keep searching for God’s truth. No one I have ever known loves like Carroll Lane. She sees others they way God sees us and she makes sure we know we are loved by Him.”

L.G.

“I chose to invest into spiritual direction because I wanted to be intentional about creating a space where I could hear from Jesus. Carroll Lane is a gentle, caring guide that helped me be attentive to the work of the Spirit. My time spent with her will always be remembered as it helped calm and quiet my soul during a season of great transition.”

J.B.

“Spiritual Direction has been one of the most faith growing experiences of my life. As a busy mother of two young girls it actually helped me slow down and focus on what God was asking of me. Carroll Lane has been gifted with a peaceful and joyful spirit that she shares so freely. I loved every second and it helped me grow so much!”

W.B.

Practicing Spiritual Direction with Carroll Lane was so meaningful to me. She helped me spend time with intentional focus and thought toward scripture and prayer. Her questions are reflective and thoughtful, and always focused on the truth of God’s word. It has been something I have been able to continue in my personal time in the Word and in prayer.
