Within our parish, we value rest, wellness, and peace. We normalize slowing down and attunement. Sometimes we need to spend time with someone we trust. Sometimes this means friends, perhaps a therapist, or a spiritual director. A person who has been educated, formed, and equipt to listen, to guide, & rest in the slowness of discernment.
Luminous Spiritual Directors
Colin Fagan
Deacon Colin Fagan holds both an MA in Conflict Management and Master of Divinity from of Lipscomb University. Theological ethics grabs a lot of his attention particularly around adoption and the formation of adoptees within the believing community. This work has also led him to experience the rich Christian tradition of Spiritual Direction and Friendship particularly of the Jesuit sort. He is captivated by Jesus sharing so intimately in human life that he would invite us into friendship with himself. This deep companioning in all seasons and situations of life knows no bounds or conditions. Consequently, Colin enjoys holding space and journeying alongside those who find themselves in seasons and conditions of life that cause deep questions of God and existence to bubble up.

Tim Head
Tim has been in ministry and non-profit work for around 20 years.
After falling in love with spiritual formation and liturgical traditions, he wanted to dive deeper into helping people facilitate attunement to God in all of life. He became a certified spiritual director several from Lipscomb university and has been facilitating spiritual direction since 2017. Tim has a deep passion to help see people through their “deconstruction” process and out the other side, wherever that may lead. The dark night of the soul can be a lonely, and exhausting place and we weren’t meant to journey through that life experience alone.
Tim is grateful to be a part of a church community that is in pursuit of greater wholeness by engaging the rich history of the contemplative/mystical stream and he excited to participate in resurrection life in the world together.
