Soul Care: Devotional for Black Educators 

Soul Care developed out of crisis.

 

During the pandemic, Black educators met in a prayer group to address spiritual issues. They came to the group with different experiences and backgrounds: Christian and secular colleges, parachurch campus ministry, and various church communities. Each week an individual shared a devotional and we prayed for and with each other. It was a gracious and life-giving practice.

What did we learn? The power of God, love, and community will encourage care for self, soul, and others.

Join us on this journey!

Jeremiah 42:3

“Pray that the LORD your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.”

​​​What is spiritual direction?

Christianity Today has described it as:

"Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life. "

"Spiritual direction involves a process through which one person helps another person understand what God is doing and saying."

"Discernment is a crucial gift in the work of spiritual direction.​​"

"Providing a listening ear and discerning questions, the individual meeting with a spiritual director receives a unique form of soul care intended to deepen their awareness and attentiveness to the presence of God in their life."

- Rev. Dr. Alice Brown-Collins
