Who is Paul Potter?

My story includes being a healthcare provider and business owner for forty years. My wife and I are happily married and have four adult daughters.

I’ve been a spiritual mentor with others for over 40 years. As a spiritual director, I sense a call to companion others to pursue their calling at various life stages.

Others describe me as hardworking, having an expansive heart for truth, and a listening heart that is just a call away.

What is spiritual direction?

Spiritual direction is not primarily about religion. It is spiritually charged with living ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

It’s for ordinary hardworking people who are trying to pay the bills and are committed to living a meaningful life.

Spiritual companionship is a relationship in which one person listens to another to help sense the movement of God in their daily lives.

Not Sure Yet?

Try a session for free and let’s talk about it.

There’s no commitment, pressure, or obligation.

Cost:

$45-$65 Whatever you can afford in this range in good conscience is acceptable.

Sessions are usually monthly. I’m able to meet in person and online through the Zoom, Google Meet or Facetime apps.

Payment can be made through PayPal, Venmo, or Apple Pay. If you have not used these online payment methods. Email me and I will send you intructions.

If you feel you need spiritual direction but cannot afford it, ask about the sliding scale option during our initial meeting. 

Some spiritual directors are supported by religious orders and do not charge a fee. To find these directors, call any religious order or retreat center.

Benefits from spiritual direction

  1. Being able to talk to someone you trust about spiritual things in a confidential setting.

  2. A safe place to sort out difficult situations or challenging decisions.

  3. Guidance in spiritual practices and rhythms to deepen your faith experience.

  4. Support and encouragement in the struggles of daily life: relationships, work, transitions, loss, loneliness, “church hurt”, etc.
