This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5
It is easier to find guides, someone to tell you what to do,
than someone to be with you in a discerning, prayerful companionship
as you work it out for yourself.
This is what spiritual direction is.

Luminous Spiritual Directors
Art Going
Through four decades of diverse ministry in a variety of settings, a common thread has been a passion to help others grow their capacity to listen deeply and prayerfully to God, introducing them to spiritual practices such as lectio divina, centering prayer, silence, and solitude.
Art has been married for 42 years to Dr. Nancy Going; they live in Nashville and have two adult children and six grandchildren and are members of Luminous Parish.
Bekah Pogue
Bekah also brings her experience as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist and holds space for directees through the lens of attachment. She is currently in grad school at Trevecca Nazarene University to become a licensed marriage and family therapist to integrate therapy and spiritual formation into her practice. Grace and space is her mantra.
Bryan Pogue
He is a certified Spiritual Director through Sustainable Faith, School of Spiritual Direction. Bryan finds faith, hope, and love in the Father by spending time with his family, being outdoors, enjoying a good meal and drink with friends, listening to music, exploring various mediums of art, and cooking flavor-forward fare.
Stacey Volpei
Stacey approaches spiritual direction with a heart for greater attachment to God, spiritual practices, stages of faith, healing prayer and hearing God, dream exploration, relationships and children, empathy and listening skills in relationships, heaviness of anxiety and depression, wilderness and grief seasons, and the enneagram.
Stacey enjoys reading, yoga, travel, cooking and having meaningful conversations over delicious coffee or a glass of wine. Her greatest joys are spending time with her husband, her three adult children, three grandsons and last but not least, Ruby, her spicy Australian Shepherd.
Vanessa Sadler
Vanessa is a certified Spiritual Director with an emphasis in Ignation Spirituality, and a certified enneagram teacher. She has also completed extensive training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care through The Allender Center, located within The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology where she is currently a Fellow.
One of the main objectives of spiritual direction is to help people discover that they already have something to give. What matters most, what transforms, is the influence of a humble, vulnerable witness to the truth.
