I was reading a book a few weeks ago about a Christian woman who lost her husband to melanoma. While hard to read at times, it was also very enlightening and inspiring.

But then I got to a part where she talked to her spiritual guide for encouragement and insight about what to do next. A spirit guide who used tarot cards and spoke to the lady’s husband after he passed.

And it hit me—oh no, is that what people think I do?

I serve as a Christian spiritual director, and I know that term is new for a lot of people. I also know there are a lot of misconceptions about what I actually do.

So today, we are going to tackle those ideas head on and separate fact from fiction. Then, not only can you decide if working with a spiritual director is right for you in this season of your life, you’ll also be able to clarify it for your friends when they start bringing up all the rumors they’ve heard.
