Drew Baker, D.Min., Spiritual Director
Receive Spiritual Direction
"Spiritual direction is a relationship that allows one to assist another in discerning God's activity and presence in his or her life…A spiritual director listens with one ear to God and the other to the directee, always encouraging the directee to recognize where God can be found throughout the journey. At its core, spiritual direction attends to the faithfulness and initiative of God. The Holy Spirit is really the Director of the time together as both parties pay attention to God's movements and call. [The direction process] moves toward deeper intimacy with the Trinity."--Adele Calhoun
Options for Receiving Spiritual Direction
Every person is unique and experiences God through different settings. I am pleased to offer a variety of settings for our Spiritual Direction sessions. You are encouraged to book whatever experience suits you best and weather permits.
-
Online
Regardless of where you are, you can receive Spiritual Direction by scheduling an online session.
-
In-person (Indoor)
If you are in the Winston-Salem area of North Carolina, we can meet in person.
-
Walking or Hiking
For some, nature and the rhythm of walking or hiking helps quiet the mind to better hear God.
-
On the Water
Throughout the Bible, rivers have played a major role in our faith story--from the rivers that watered Eden, to the baptism of Jesus, to the River of Life in the New Jerusalem, to all the ways rivers have been used poetically to communicate truths of God. What better setting for Spiritual Direction than floating placidly down one of North Carolina's scenic rivers in a kayak or canoe.

Retreats or Camping
