Hi, I’m Kenda
I am a trained Spiritual Director through Selah-Anglican program in Leadership Transformation.
I also have Masters in Education from Baylor University, am a forever student of St. Paul’s House of Formation, and more importantly am an active member in my local parish.
Selah is a Christ-centered, contemplative Spiritual Direction training program that helps people notice where God is in our lives and what He is inviting them to do, both in action and in rest.
What is Spiritual Direction?
The gift of Spiritual Direction is a carved out time in your schedule to pause, to sit and rest in the myriad of overwhelm, uncertainty, and chaos. When you meet with a Spiritual Director, you are meeting with a friend who will be your companion on your faith journey no matter how high or how low you go.
“It is by being awake to God in us that we can increasingly see God in the world around us.” - Henri Nouwen
