If we teach what we know, but reproduce who we are, then it is our responsibility as leaders to commit ourselves to deep personal transformation.
Patricia D. Brown explains,
“The failure of leaders to deal with their own souls, their inner life, is deeply troubling not only for themselves but also for other persons in the misery they cause. The destructive consequences from leaders who fail to work out of a deep sense of their inner self are staggering. Leaders have a particular responsibility to know what is going on inside their souls. For leaders, this means taking the journey in and down. As they become fully awake, they come to know and understand what it is within that betrays them and those they strive to serve. “

The result?
A profoundly spirit-led organization embodying the life and mission of Jesus in a world that so desperately needs it.We know the impact one individual can have when living in sync with the calling of the Holy Spirit. Imagine what a movement of even ten individuals could have as they deepen their relationship with the Lord, seek His guidance, and live in faithful obedience!
Through spiritual direction, you are helping your students to experience the transformative love of God, discern the voice of the Holy Spirit, and to live more fully into their identity in Christ.
The fruit of this kind of ministry is profoundly impactful resulting in:
• Deeply formed individuals who are rooted in Christ as they grapple with important questions around identity, career, calling, and relationships
• Students who, by loving God and others, exemplify Jesus’ life and mission, both within their local communities and across the globe (Acts 1:8)
• Fostering a new stream of potential students from churches, ministries, and families who have experienced firsthand the impact of deeply formed graduates from your college/university

What People Are Saying
“Spiritual direction has created an additional space and intentionality for discerning and understanding God's voice and presence in my life. It's allowed me to both reflect on where I have encountered God in the past, reflect on those experiences, and open myself to new ways of seeking His guidance. I'm grateful for my time with my spiritual director and how she's helped me open my eyes even further to the Lord's grace, love, and presence in my life!”

“Spiritual direction has impacted my faith journey as it has provided me with different perspectives on how to proceed with my faith journey, depending on what the circumstances with my life are. From learning how to thank God in the smallest ways, to remembering to center Him in my life, my spiritual director provided me with a variety of different perspectives to maintain and strengthen my faith journey.”

"My personal spiritual retreat with Deeper Walk was transformational and incredibly meaningful. Mike worked with me to plan a retreat that suited my schedule and needs - I felt heard and cared for. Spending a majority of the day in solitude, with a check-in with Mike, resulted in a day of reflection, rest, inspiration, and hope. I intend to make these retreats a regular part of my spiritual practice throughout the year.”
