The Studion was an unexpected gift in my own formation journey. When I entered the program, I expected to add tools for a ministry role in my church. I gained tools but I also found an identity and sureness in God’s great love that previously was not mine. That encounter with God and the wisdom of the faculty created a foundation that led to richer, better thinking about God’s presence and action in this world. The experience has become a plumb line by which I measure my leadership and my companionship. I am so grateful for the renovating of my soul that occurred through the Studion.

There are opportunities in life that will continue to pay dividends far surpassing the initial investment. This has been my experience with training in Spiritual Direction with The Studion. Becoming a Spiritual Director has been the side benefit to the central transformation in my life, knowing and walking with Jesus in a profound way. You will not regret setting aside time for learning, and sharing community with those on a similar journey, all under the tender care of experienced leaders.
