Knoxville spiritual direction interest meeting
Tuesday, March 10, 2020 7:00 PM-9:00 PM
813 Kempton Road, Knoxville, TN 37909
Kris Miller will host an information gathering in Knoxville, Tennessee, on March 10 to share what spiritual direction is, how to discern one's calling to the ministry of spiritual direction, and details regarding Lipscomb’s program of formation and training.
Kris Miller
Miller joined the faculty of the College of Bible and Ministry in 2015, serving as assistant professor of theology and director of Lipscomb’s Institute for Christian Spirituality. He has been a spiritual director since 2006 and has been training other spiritual directors since 2010.
The ministry of spiritual direction requires both formation and training; it involves transformation and education. Participants in this program will acquire the skills of asking good questions, listening attentively, and fostering stillness as they facilitate deep and meaningful conversations. Participants will also read and discuss many of the best books about this focused type of pastoral care. Yet, at the heart of this experience is tending to one’s own spiritual formation.
