Spiritual direction is the process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey. Spiritual direction exists in a context of spiritual formation that emphasizes growing closer to God who has revealed Himself in Jesus. Within Christianity, spiritual direction has its roots in the Early Church. The gospels describe Jesus serving as a mentor to his disciples. Additionally, Acts 9 describes Ananias helping Paul of Tarsus to grow in his newfound experience of Christianity. Apollos is aided by Priscilla and Aquila in defining his spiritual path. Likewise, several of Pauline Epistles describe Paul mentoring both Timothy and Titus among others. Tradition tells that John the Evangelist tutored Polycarp, the second-century bishop of Smyrna. John Cassian who lived in the fourth century provided some of the earliest recorded guidelines on the practice of spiritual direction. He introduced spiritual coaching and spiritual mentoring in the monasteries. Each novice was put under the care of an older monk. Dr. Norman R. Wise has been a spiritual director to people for over twenty years.
