What is a spiritual director? How do they differ from a therapist? In this episode of In Good Faith, Steve speaks with Doug Hardy to find out. Doug is the former president of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality. During his lifetime, he has also been a counselor, parish pastor, and professor. In his teachings, Doug intentionally creates time and space for silence, listening, and reflection so that learning is accompanied by a personal transformation that goes deep.

Currently, Doug Hardy works as a spiritual director, trains spiritual directors—he even has a spiritual director. He speaks to the influence that a spiritual director had over the happiest time of his life.
