How do I know if I have a call to be a spiritual director?

Great question! First, you may want to reflect on your sense of call against your actual experience accompanying people in deep and personal, not to mention spiritual, contexts. It is rare to have a call divorced from actual related experience. The best guides are those who know the geography of faith and the terrain of the spiritual journey from both a personal experience and having been in spiritual direction for an extended time. Second, you may want to reflect on your own journey and ask questions like: Do people tend to seek me out for spiritual companionship and as someone who listens and offers prayerful support? Do I practice and know the difference between accompanying and supporting persons versus telling, fixing, rescuing, judging, or changing people? Do I enjoy accompanying others on their spiritual journey as they discern God’s movements in their lives?
