SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Oh how liberating it is to choose wholeness over perfection.
To choose honesty over always being right.
To choose the courage to stumble out of the shadows and go stumbling into Light.
-Morgan Harper Nichols
Understanding
Spiritual Direction
Embarking on a journey of spiritual growth and discernment is a profound and personal experience. Spiritual Direction is perfect for those of us who want to grow closer to God and learn to hear His voice in our daily lives, helping to navigate their faith journey with intention and insight.
Who is Spiritual Direction for?
Those who desire to grow in their faith journey.
Those who long to discern the voice of God and grow closer to God.
It is most beneficial for those who are already established in the essential knowledge and practice of the Christian life.
What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is all about experiencing and responding to God’s presence in a way that transforms our entire being. It’s a space where we listen to God by listening to others who also crave a deeper connection with Him and want to weave their faith into everyday life. Jeannette Bakke beautifully put it, that spiritual directors pray and encourage each other to notice grace and ideas about God, discern His intentions and make their own decisions.
Spiritual Direction is about creating a deeper connection with God. It’s for anyone who wants to enrich their spiritual life and explore faith on a more personal level.
If you’re ready to explore your spiritual journey further, please reach out for more information or to set up a session.
What Spiritual Direction is not:
It’s important to note that Spiritual Direction isn’t the same as pastoral counseling or psychological counseling or psychotherapy. Those focus on solving problems or reaching specific goals, but Spiritual Direction is all about centering your life on God and noticing how He’s working in your life right now.
It’s also different from coaching or mentoring, where you might have specific goals or action plans. Spiritual Direction is more about being present with God. While coaching and counseling have their own benefits, Spiritual Direction can be a unique part of your spiritual journey, complementing these practices. The focus of spiritual directioin is to notice God’s activity as He invites you into a deeper relationship in the middle of what you’re experiencing.

“There are two questions that we have to ask ourselves. The first question is “Where am I going?” and the second is “Who will go with me?”
If you ever get these questions in the wrong order, you are in trouble.” – Howard Thurman

Patriece McPeak – Spiritual Director
Hello
Meet Patriece
My journey began in my parents’ church in Miami, FL, where I found my passion for singing and leading worship. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of performing professionally and serving various churches through musical worship. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Miami. I trained in musical performance at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, which has enriched my ability to connect with others.
Currently, I’m a licensed Worship Pastor at Eastlake Church in San Diego, CA, where I provide strategic leadership for the Worship and Production Staff across our church locations. Beyond this, I love equipping leaders nationwide, empowering women through mentorship, workshops, and speaking engagements. My path to Spiritual Direction was born from deep personal grief, inspiring me to help leaders in both the church and marketplace deepen their spiritual formation through scripture and prayer.
I’m also currently training in Spiritual Direction through the Leadership Transformations’ Selah Program. This program offers a beautiful blend of biblically based contemplative practice and community, all aimed at nurturing a deeper connection with the Triune God.
