BRENT UNRAU, MA, RCC

Registered Clinical Counsellor & SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR

Brent has received his spiritual direction training from Soulstream and comes with a rich and diverse back ground in both pastoral and overseas missionary work. He is also a trained therapist and works with Cascade Christian Counselling Association in Surrey. He is excited about the rich possibilities of God using this ministry to meet the needs of those who long to draw closer to God and experience God in more loving and intimate way.

If Spiritual Direction is new to you it has been described as the simple gift of sacred presence offered to another, providing a gentle but tenacious encouragement to open fully to God’s loving presence and to co-discern with that person God’s activity in every aspect of life.

It is not so much about discussing topics or resolving specific problems but more about looking into the very ordinary experiences in our lives to discover the ways that God is coming to us and wanting to love and renew us. It seeks to explore the mystery and reality of how you are actually living your relationship with God, addressing two fundamental questions, who is God for you and who are you for God these days?

So if and when you think about going for spiritual direction (spiritual accompaniment) you might want to ponder the following.

If I had someone

  • who lived with humble integrity,

  • who had experience with brokenness and healing in the journey of prayer,

  • who cared about me and had confidence in me and who would respect the graced uniqueness of my own journey,

  • who would not simply answer my questions but invite me to focus on opening my heart to Jesus in the midst of my life experience…

What would I want to say?
