Lee holds space in spiritual direction, in collaboration with God, to help me identify my spiritual growth edges and he does this with remarkable discernment. He brings to our sessions a deep sensitivity to the presence of God and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. He has helped me discern prophetic dreams, work through traumatic life events, reconcile spiritual identity issues, and discern ways in which God wants to participate in and stand with me during the highs and lows of difficult seasons in my life. I have felt incredibly safe to share deep hurts from my past and because of our work together, I have seen how God has reconciled those hurts to Himself in ways previously unseen.

My work with Lee has produced a breaking of strongholds that were hindering me from accepting who I am called to be. Also, receiving God’s invitations into my heart and spirit have healed and transformed areas in my life that I’ve struggled with for years. I feel lighter, free and more hopeful of things to come after every session. Lee imbues the love and light of Christ in his heart. He has truly been a “Godsend” and I am forever grateful that our paths crossed, and that I’ve experienced the transformative work of God through Lee’s ministry of spiritual direction.

Lee has been my supervisor for spiritual direction for the last year and a half. Through our sessions, I have gained a better understanding of my role as a spiritual director, my personal gifts, and areas of growth. Lee helps facilitate a sacred space with the Spirit to move and work in the life of the director, supervisor, and God. Through reflection, dialogue, and insightful questions Lee encourages the freedom and love of God to be seen and felt. Lee offers compassion, empathy, and a safe environment for exploration and questioning. Lee is skilled as a supervisor and has aided in my practice as a spiritual director.

Trained Spiritual Director (Supervised By Lee)

My spiritual direction sessions with Lee have been literally life-changing. I sought him out in a desire to seek the ‘ancient paths’ and he is leading me to them with wisdom and humility. His attunement to me and to the Spirit of God have led to several epiphanies for me. He asks excellent questions which take me deeper. When necessary, he speaks truth to me with kindness and compassion, even when he is inviting me to challenging things. I am deeply grateful for his giftedness and his direction.

I have had the privilege of being under Lee Jarrell’s spiritual direction for the last 2 and half years. Lee has an incredible heart for people, and it really shows up in his encouraging style that definitely comes from his own life experiences. God has really used him in my journey In developing a deeper and more personal relationship with my lord. His direction has been a combination of contemplative prayer, purposeful reading, and honest conversations. I believe Lee has found his truest calling in being a caring spiritual director.
