Presented by Anne Dobbs Spiritual Direction
In today’s world of high-tech and low-touch, relationships are suffering. There is no substitute for spending time together. This is especially true in our spiritual walk and formation.
In the 1500s St. Ignatius of Loyola—knowing firsthand the brokenness that comes from a wandering heart— wrote spiritual exercises designed to form and nurture an intimate relationship with God.
For over five centuries the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius have restored fractured relationships and reignited dying passions. It’s amazing to witness how God shows up when we commit to spending a part of our day with Him.
Do you desire to grow in discernment and your relationship with God? There is no secret formula or handshake. There are the Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life. This is a nine-month program through which you offer a part of your day back to God.
Please prayerfully consider if God is leading you to the Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life. Then, contact Anne Dobbs about the next program scheduled for August 2022.
