Spiritual Direction

As someone wildly in love with God and the Scriptures, my experience of this world is profoundly spiritual. My intense personal journey of awakening now informs my reality, which I experience as a beautiful array of interlocking connections, signs, and symbols. I believe God is always speaking to us - it is just a matter of learning how to tune in.

We access God’s reality through a deeper awareness of ourselves, the work of Jesus Christ, and our unique role in God’s cosmic rescue mission. As an intuitive coach, theologian, author, and speaker, I equip clients from all over the world with spiritual tools that help them step into the fullness of their divine calling. Using wisdom gained from my personal journey, my spiritual giftings, and a variety of intuitive techniques, I guide others through the potentially frightening spiritual awakening process and help to clear mental and spiritual blockages that prevent them from living in the fullness of their identity as a child of God.

 

My intuitive coaching IS for you if: 

  • You experience troublesome and persistent spiritual awakening “symptoms” such as anxiety, depression, OCD, physical pain, spiritual experiences, or energetic manifestations that you are unable to reconcile with your existing religious convictions.  

  • You experience the unshakable conviction that God is calling you as a healer to the lost and broken. 

  • You wish to grow in your spiritual and intuitive giftings, but lack the resources, Scriptural basis, mentorship, and community for doing so.  

  • You wish to greatly impact your particular realm of influence in the workplace, at home, or in your spiritual community.

  • Your unique experience of God has left you feeling isolated from others in your existing religious community.  

  • You are finding it difficult to answer nagging questions you have about yourself, life, or God’s nature.

  • You want more of God’s freedom in mind, body, and spirit, but have no idea how to get it.

In my sessions, I create a safe and nurturing interpersonal space so that you can:  

  • Grow and activate your unique spiritual giftings without fear of misunderstanding or rejection. 

  • Reconcile your unique spiritual experiences with the timeless truths of Scripture.    

  • Access a life filled with God’s presence and the miraculous.

  • Gain awareness of the spiritual realm and its role in our daily experience.

  • Find healing and freedom from stubborn spiritual blockages and patterns.

  • Understand the realities of the Scriptures in a deeper, more intuitive way. 

  • Become the person that you were meant to be and live in the reality of God’s call on your life.

Testimonials

"Michael and I met years ago and within minutes we were in conversation about God and our personal walk with Jesus. Since then, our relationship has flourished in so many ways. We have had profound spiritual experiences together. God has anointed Michael with many gifts - including those of prophecy, healing, and ancient wisdom. His extensive education in theology, religion and spiritual guidance enhance his natural gifts and teachings. As an author, he offers support through the written word and his online teachings. Michael's ministry is profound. I highlight recommend working with him to support your personal journey and awaken all of your God-given gifts.”

- Karen Elizabeth Rowan, LMT, CST (Rhythm of Life Healing Center, Simsbury, CT)

“Michael’s spiritual care has given life to both my emotions and my theology. Our Zoom sessions normally begin as ordinary conversations that transform into deep exploration of emotional blocks or doctrinal confusion. His personal testimonies, spiritual direction and continued follow-up have surely helped move me into my next phase of healing and awakening.”

- Phoebe Quaynor (PhD candidate, Penn State University)

“Michael speaks with a language that is clear and accessible to all. He speaks from a clear understanding of what we have already become in Christ - not what we need to strive to become. Michael’s sessions and writings interpret the Scriptures in relation to these new creation realities. He is detailed and showcases a broad knowledge of the Bible. Michael’s teaching has strengthened my freedom in Christ. I am no longer a slave or even a child, but a son of God. I now live in the awareness that I am pleasing to God, not because of my own efforts, but because of His mercy and grace. I am convinced that the Spirit of God works powerfully through Michael - he is a great blessing for the church today. We have already invited him to the Ivory Coast, and are excited to welcome him.”

- Ouakoubo Purlin Nassa (FCF Christian Fellowship, Côte d'Ivoire, Africa)

“Michael has been a Godsend. He is highly attuned to the heart, mind, and spirit - getting right to the root of the matter. I had cycles of toxic thinking that stole my freedom for decades. After working with Michael for a short time, I have a much healthier mindset and am able to set clear goals and achieve them. My entire outlook on life is now forward-focused and centered in the power of choice. I am grateful for his guidance, wisdom, and willingness to walk alongside me into freedom.”

- Tabitha Shepherd (Tuscon, Arizona)

“Having never experienced an angelic presence before, I was in search of answers. This was a new realm that God was opening to me for further exploration. After extensive research, I came across Michael’s ministry. His articles on this topic have been a breath of fresh air, are biblically sound, and full of in-depth insight. I can’t stress enough how much clarity and direction I have gained through these sessions. Michael is relatable, full of empathy and compassion. Immersed in the Word of God, he provides guidance and direction that is biblically sound. Through thought-provoking questions, I was able to better understand my experiences. If you’re seeking a safe space for biblically sound and empathetic coaching, you’ve found the right person.”

- Gvantsa G. (Tbilisi, Georgia)

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach different from other Spiritual directors or coaches?  

Unlike many other spiritual or intuitive life coaches, my coaching method is grounded in the timeless truths of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. I am dedicated to balancing the experience of God’s presence with the living tradition of this presence, to which the Scriptures testify. Many intuitive coaches today approach spiritual awakening without the presence of Christ. This is frustrating because it can easily leave many worse off. I will not hesitate to say that spiritual awakening without Christ is dangerous. In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). I honor this truth in my coaching while remaining sensitive and open to everyone’s unique spiritual process and religious background. 

What does a typical session look like? 

We will meet in person at my practice, via phone, or through Zoom. During our initial sessions together, I will invite you to share about your personal journey and where you feel God is leading you. We will begin by identifying spiritual blockages or problems that may be impeding you in your awakening journey.  As our relationship grows, I will assist you in activating your giftings and help you understand the dynamics of the spiritual awakening process. I love to create safe, open environments that allow God to work without restriction. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). You will leave every session feeling activated and empowered to live in the reality of God’s call on your life.

I consider myself spiritual but not necessarily religious. Is this for me?

Yes! I love working with clients across the spiritual and religious spectrum. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or firmly established in an existing tradition, my goal is to cultivate common ground so you can activate your intuitive giftings and become the person God is calling you to be.
