“The Awareness Trifecta”

SoulFriend is my way of providing preemptive soul care for devoted Christ-followers and ministry leaders. Through the quiet, personal space of spiritual direction, I have the privilege of inviting others to slow down… to listen… and cultivate deeper discernment and engagement with God's presence — helping them develop greater God-awareness, self-awareness, and other-awareness.

God-awareness


”Looking UPWARD”

Cultivating a greater awareness of God’s presence and connection. This often requires a discipline of slowing down and being rooted in daily practices that shape and mature a growing spiritual life. By looking upward, we foster a dynamic attentiveness to the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. This helps us better discern God’s heart and invitation to know Him, feel His pleasure, and reflect His presence in all the ways we live, love, work, and play.

“…Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14:26

self-awareness


”Looking INWARD”

Developing a deeper understanding of the unique parts that shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions. This courageous work of looking inward reveals both the strengths and weaknesses that often drive our initiations and responses. Increasing self-awareness can move us toward greater acceptance of our story, while shaping our attitudes, decisions, and actions to align with our spiritual and personal goals.

“Search me, God,
and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.”
Psalm 139:23

other-awareness


”Looking OUTWARD”

Embracing the unique and complex personalities we encounter around us. As we do the work of growing our God and self-awareness, we enlarge our capacity for others. As we practice looking outward with a more informed perspective, we find new compassion for the ways others may struggle. This brings new maturity to the roles we serve in and to the relationships we encounter in our vocational and personal pursuits.

“…Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an
interest in others, too.”
Philippians 2:4
