Spiritual Direction I am sincerely grateful for the sessions I enjoyed with Jason as my spiritual director. I became accountable and eager to see God work powerfully in my life. Jason picked up on many areas of my life that needed my attention as we journeyed together, and noted how much I identified with Christian in Pilgrim’s Progress. I was to discover my potential as a human being fully alive in God, by developing areas such as boldness, taking new ground and listening (which I’m normally rubbish at!) Thank you Jason for giving me those precious times, reflections and insights in which I could work out my own journey! (Simon M)

Spiritual Direction I’ve found Jason to be an attentive listener, incisive questioner, and that he has helped me to make space to meet with God. I’ve really enjoyed, and been challenged by, my Spiritual Direction sessions with him, and I look forward to them as valuable time in a full diary. (Jim C)

Spiritual Direction Jason skilfully and sensitively follows the Spirit's lead, providing a space where God meets and speaks and where one can pause and reflect. Neither pushy nor intense, the pace and tone are just what is needed to discover, re-establish or enhance one's connection to God. If you are looking for someone who is experienced, well-trained and above all God-attuned, then you probably won't need to look any further. (Jonathan W)

Spiritual Direction “Jason is a wonderful spiritual director.  He is a deep listener and in tune with Holy Spirit -  offering empowering questions, insights and reflections at the right time.  Meeting with Jason once a month consistently has enabled me to remain accountable and enjoy a consistent vibrant relationship with Jesus as a result.  I really appreciate you Jason.”  (Philip M)

Spiritual Direction Having Jason as a Spiritual Director over the last year has helped me enormously with my own journey.  He has patiently helped me recognise the invitations from God; and having someone else walk that intentional pathway with me has made it possible for me to continue making steps, without striving, and instead I have deepened the awareness I have of the gentle still voice of God in my own life.  I am in a different place, spiritually, to when I started and I credit the gentle input from Jason for the encouragement that has made this possible.  (Mark C)

Spiritual Direction I've been really blessed by my time with Jason. I live a crazy full life pastoring a church, running a technology startup, being the father of 4 and trying to be a husband, too. I've come to really cherish the chance to stop once a month and be lead into God's presence and hear his voice for me. There have been very powerful encounters that have had a profound effect on my identity in Jesus. (Matt B)

Spiritual Direction I tried spiritual direction with Jason not really sure what to expect, but having heard friends talk about how valuable it can be. I’m so glad I gave it a go! It’s proved to be such a precious space to reflect and ponder on what God is doing in my life. I often start my monthly sessions with no idea what I’m going to share, and am constantly surprised at how God brings things to the surface, speaks into them, and every time I leave encouraged and with lots to think about. In a word (or three): I love it. (Matty P)

Spiritual Direction “Being on the spiritual path can be lonely and confusing, especially if you’re just starting out. Jason has helped me to address some deep issues and difficult questions in my life. He brings a fresh, energising perspective to our discussions. I feel a lot more centred and grounded as a result of this work, and it’s helped to strengthen my faith too." (Mike H)

Fireside Mens Retreat This has been a great weekend and has brought me another step closer to Father God. (John B)

Spiritual Direction I have been attending regular spiritual direction with Jason for 2 years, and I am so pleased that I made the decision to start. I knew that God was real, and working around me, but I have been repeatedly amazed by how much slips past my notice every day. I hoped to find solace in challenging circumstances, and I do. But I didn't expect that there would be so much to notice and enjoy again in events that have gone well. Spiritual direction, and the opportunity to sift through everyday experiences (whether I perceive them as positive or negative) and find a glimmer of God's action and loving attention there, is a treasure that continues to sustain me. I would recommend that anyone interested in spiritual direction give it a try. You might be surprised at the depth you can experience in even one conversation. (Scott W)

Fireside Mens Retreat Jason and Matt, what can I say. What a fantastic weekend spent in the company of great men. All of us, from different walks of life, all of whom were a joy to get to know, to laugh together with, to listen to and to share this fantastc weekend retreat. I feel richer for it. From the outset both Jason and Matt you made me feel at ease and under no pressure to take part in anything I wasn't comfortable with or unsure about. As it happens I immediately felt encouraged and inspired to step out of my padded life, step into nature and consider the things I take for granted everyday, to stop to really listen to God's created world around me. The way I breathe and move to benefit my physical and mental resilience and how I can intentionally prepare my mind and body as I meet with God. A common theme this weekend was that as a reasult of the world we live in, we as men find ourselves to be very busy. We struggle to know how to stop. This retreat has really helped me find ways to push aside the noise of life and intentionally center my mind on God. This weekend retreat came at the perfect time for me. Matt and Jason in facilitating this retreat so brilliantly, I now feel such a deep sence of peace and restoration and now have some really easy to use practices that I hope to weave into my everyday life. I would recommend this to everyone I know. Sign me up for the next weekend retreat!! (Marco)

Fireside Mens Retreat Just got back from a 24 hr retreat with Jason and Matt. I’ll be honest I didn’t expect much in 24hrs …..but it couldn’t be further from the truth….it was quite simply extraordinary. Two true men of God guiding us spiritually and physically…….never knew that the act of breathing could be so rewarding physically, mentally and spiritually. I would recommend this to all men of all ages as it is truly transformative. Thank you both for a wonderful experience (Jeremy G)

Spiritual Direction 'My time with Jason has been such a gift to me! In his role as a spiritual director, he is so good at holding space for me to meet with God. Which has been a lifeline in all that life has brought me over the last years. The good, the bad, the ugly, Jason helps me to bring it all to the feet of Jesus. With patience, laughter, silence, a thought or reflection; Jason really gives me the feeling of being seen and known. The fruit of our time together has been a deeper communion with Christ. And it has helped me navigate in my roles as a father of young kids, husband, leader in ministry and in my work as a psychologist'. (Flo K)

Spiritual Direction "Meeting with Jason every month helps me to get a better grip on my inner life. As a pastor, I prioritize longevity and spiritual direction helps me to stay emotionally and spiritually healthy. It gives me the opportunity to work through and deal with things going on beneath the surface. For me, Jason is a gentle voice of confirmation, reflection, challenge and wisdom. These meetings mean a lot to me."  (Koen P)
