Spiritual direction with Ben Kraker.
Commissioned through Christos Center for Spiritual Formation.
If something in you has been asking for more attention lately, this is a space to meet it.
Spiritual direction is one of the practices that shapes how we build — slow attention, honest noticing, and care for what is unfolding beneath the surface.
Spiritual direction is a guided conversation where we slow down and reflect on what's unfolding in your life.
It's not about fixing or advising. It's about paying attention. Noticing patterns. Making space for what's already there.
"Ben helped me slow down, ask different questions, and see things I hadn't been able to recognize before." — CB
While this practice has roots in the Christian contemplative tradition, you don't need to identify as religious to be here.
You just need a willingness to be honest and curious.
1. People navigating ADHD — The way it shows up in everyday life, in faith, and in relationships.
2. Pastors & ministry leaders in transition — Whether you're stepping away, finding your way back, or learning who you are when the title is gone.
3. Parents of prodigal children — The ones holding vigil. The ones who know the ache of loving someone you cannot fix.
4. People deconstructing, doubting, or questioning — Or somewhere in the process of leaving faith. I'm not here to talk you out of it or back into it. I'm here to sit with you in the questions and help you notice what's worth keeping. You're welcome here.
"Ben helped me trace God's presence through what felt chaotic. He helped me see grace I had overlooked, and patiently discern that God had been near in ways I was too overwhelmed to recognize." — JS
"What we talk about doesn't just stay in the session. I find myself actually carrying it into my everyday life." — RH
Sessions are 60 minutes. Available virtually or in person in southeast Grand Rapids, MI.
Your first session is a paid session. At the end, we'll notice whether this feels like a good fit to continue. If it doesn't, just say so — you'll receive a full refund. No explanation needed.
If we continue, we'll figure out what ongoing sessions look like together — including what's sustainable financially.
If something here resonates, you don't need to have it all figured out before you begin.
