THE ROUTE

Jesus said, “Come follow me...” The Route is a guided, small-group journey grounded in spiritual practices and holy listening. Together, we learn to make space, both in the rhythm of our lives and in the posture of our hearts, for God to meet us.

The invitation is to slow down, listen for His voice, and walk the journey of faith side by side. In The Route, you will practice paying attention to God’s presence in your everyday life, sharing honestly and listening deeply— to God, to yourselves, and to one another. 

In the midst of busy, noisy lives, these gatherings become steady places of presence where you can tend to your life with God and learn to notice what is occurring within your heart. Transformation grows not through striving, but through staying present, together, before Him over time.

The Route is an invitation into three movements that shape the journey of spiritual formation.

the movements of the route

ANCHOR — Abiding in Christ

Quiet the noise and create space to simply be with Jesus. Through unhurried, accessible spiritual practices,  you will learn to abide in Him (John 15), remembering that formation begins not with doing more, but with dwelling more deeply with God.

Attune — listening to the holy spirit

Cultivate a listening life by learning to recognize God’s voice in Scripture, in prayer, within your own heart, and through community. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice” (John 10:27). As you grow in attentiveness,  you will deepen your intimacy with Christ and become more aware of the Spirit’s gentle leading.

follow — responding to god’s invitation

As we listen, we begin to notice God’s invitations. These invitations are often quiet nudges that lead you toward deeper trust and love.  As you follow, you will learn to respond with openness and willingness, stepping into the transformation the Spirit is already forming within you.

ONE-ON-ONE SPIRITUAL DIrection sessions

In one-on-one spiritual direction, participants benefit from 60 minutes of focused interaction with a trained spiritual director. This dedicated and sacred space provides an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to orchestrate and illuminate the dialogue.

Serving as the ultimate guide, the Spirit of God facilitates the conversation, nurturing an environment where individuals may depart with a heightened awareness of God's loving action and presence at work in their lives and hearts. As you mature as an individual and your faith journey deepens, you may discover a heightened sensitivity to God's presence and workings.

“The environment of spiritual direction, then, is affirming and encouraging, but it is also a place of authenticity. In spiritual direction, we look at the truth of our present situation and experience. The question asked is not "What should be happening in my life?" but "What is happening in my life?" We look for God here, now, because the place where we are in our lives is the place where we find God. Our souls, our lives, are the dwelling place of God.” - Alice Fryling

WHAT TO EXPECT

Spiritual formation encompasses contemplative methods designed to create space for hearing God's voice

  • Silent prayer, also known as contemplative prayer or Christian meditation, is a form of prayer rooted in the Christian tradition that emphasizes quieting the mind, stilling the heart, and attentively resting in the presence of God. Unlike vocal or petitionary prayer, where words are spoken aloud, silent prayer involves entering into a receptive state of inner stillness, allowing space for God to speak to the heart in the depths of silence.

  • Lectio Divina, Latin for "Divine Reading," is a traditional Christian practice of prayerful reading and meditation on Scripture. It has its roots in the early monastic tradition and is characterized by a slow, contemplative engagement with sacred texts.

    Lectio Divina is not merely an intellectual exercise but a prayerful encounter with the living Word of God. It is a way of deepening one's relationship with God, nurturing spiritual growth, and discerning God's will.

  • A short, meaningful phrase or prayer. It is a way of connecting with God on a deep level and fostering a sense of spiritual presence and peace.
