“The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God.”
St. Irenaeus (140–203 A.D.)
Each one of us, in some quiet moment, has had the sense that there must be more to life.. more purpose, more passion, more peace, more hope. You’ve experienced that longing because you were made for more. Living life to the full begins by returning to the origin of your Story, and becoming more aware of the One who created you. It’s in the revelation that you’ve been loved by Him since before your birth – right to this very moment – that your heart begins to awaken. You were made for this. You have a purpose here.
Soul Friend‘s mission is to help you live fully alive by offering pastoral care and spiritual direction via private individual sessions, facilitated group retreats, and guided group trips around the island of Ireland.

Ever had a desire to change the world? I do every day. That desire, while far from being out of touch with reality, was placed in you for a purpose. We’re created to live life to the full in our relationships and the creative, collaborative, world-shaping mission we’re called to fulfill. However, so many of us live distracted, diminished lives with a persistent sense that there’s more to life than we’re experiencing. You’re not alone. Through an exploration of ancient wisdom and perennial truth, you and I can become more of who we were created to be and live life fully, from the heart.

In an effort to help people recognize Jesus’ call to ‘Walk with Me’ and ‘Work with Me’, I wrote a reflective journal called Fuel based upon the ancient practice of Lectio Divina. Fuel makes this time-tested Christian practice more accessible to new audiences. Lectio Divina helps you begin to recognize how the Lord is speaking to you right now, in this moment. Inside is a brief explanation of the process of Lectio Divina, a sample reading/responses section, thirty one identical sessions with seven questions leading you through the process of Lectio Divina and a blank space for unpacking (writing or drawing) time with God. At the end of the resource there is a brief section on the early Irish Christian notion of the ‘thin space’, and an encouragement to invite a spiritual director (or the equivalent) in one’s life. This resource will be re-released here in due time to encourage you as you journey with Jesus.
