• Do you have more questions?
  Contact us at phil@calvaryftw.org (Pr. Phil) and we will get back to you. A brochure is also available about Spiritual Mentoring that we would be glad to mail to you.
  
• Informational web sites:
  Go to websites for Spiritual Director training, such as, Shalem, Pecos Benedictine Monastery in Pecos NM , Mercy Center in Burlingame CA , Heart Paths Training in Dallas TX for in-depth information about spiritual direction and spiritual formation.
  
• If not spiritual mentoring/direction, then what?
  Perhaps you feel something needs attention in your life relating to personal or spiritual growth, but spiritual mentoring may not be what you need now.
  Test your particular needs through the following questions and suggestions:
  
  • Am I looking for "how to's" in developing a prayer life? Or a group I can share and pray with?
    Consider: Spiritual formation groups; church prayer groups
    
  • Are there areas of my life calling for focused healing prayer?
    Consider: Local church healing services; church prayer groups
    
  • Am I seeking moral, biblical, or theological guidance for my life?
    Consider: Church leadership and groups; talk with your pastor
    
  • Do I want to deepen my theological understanding or explore the possibilities of lay ministry?
    Consider: The Parish Lay Ministry Academy
    
  • Are there specific problem areas of my life or troubling emotions siphoning off energy?
    Consider: Counseling or therapy; 12-Step Groups
    
  • Do I feel the need for "spiritual friends" with whom I can have an informal mutual relationship of prayer, sharing and support?
    Consider: Via de Cristo (VdC) "small groups" (anyone is welcome, regardless of VdC experience--talk to your pastor or Ultreya rector)
