Spiritual direction is one of the most sought-after practices in Christian spirituality, and it plays a vital role in the process of spiritual formation. Rooted in various streams of Christian tradition, this biblical practice helps cultivate a deeper awareness of God’s presence and a clearer discernment of His work in our daily lives. As a transformative practice, spiritual direction invites us to listen more attentively to God’s voice and become more attuned to His real presence.
