Selah Faculty - What is Spiritual Direction?

Leadership Transformations, Selah Banner

SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS Trained Through Selah

Note: This list of Selah graduates, updated annually, is intended to help you connect with spiritual directors near you. Please do not use its information for any other purpose. Those individuals with "current intern" after their name are still in training in Selah's 2-year program, reporting regularly to Selah Supervision faculty for accountability around their practice of spiritual direction.

Some of our Selah graduates have an * asterisk next to their name. This denotes that they have committed themselves to our shared Selah Rule of Life for the nurture and integrity of their spiritual direction ministry practice. In addition, they attend at least one retreat or conference each year that nurtures and refines their call as a spiritual director, and they annually assess their practice and life.

What Others Are Saying...

"Selah has changed my life. Thank you for all you have done."

-- Daryl Driscoll
~~~~~

"I have received more personal and ministry support and encouragement in the past year in Selah than in the previous 20 years. I really am grateful for you all!"

-- Andrea Chan
~~~~~

"One of the things I so appreciate about Selah is the fact that I see no contradiction between what I read about spiritual direction and what I see being so beautifully modeled by the faculty. Thank you."

-- Jim Ennis
~~~~~

"Thanks again … Selah has been life changing for me… and live giving. I long to see this imparted to others in the local church, it is so freeing."

-- Deb Bellevue

"Spiritual direction takes place when two people agree to give their full attention to what God is doing in one (or both) of their lives and seek to respond in faith ... whether planned or unplanned, three convictions underpin these meetings: (1) God is always doing something: an active grace is shaping this life into a mature salvation; (2) responding to God is not sheer guesswork: the Christian community has acquired wisdom through the centuries that provides guidance; and (3) each soul is unique: no wisdom can simply be applied without discerning the particulars of this life, this situation."

-- Eugene Peterson
