Blue Veil Ministries
Many people seek a deeper relationship with God. Often this happens after a crisis or when they are discerning where God is calling them next. When we seek God, it is helpful to have someone to walk us. That person helps us listen to God and sort out our own interior noise from God’s voice. That is the role of a spiritual director.
Congregations also seek to deepen their relationship with God and discern next steps. Frequently, they turn to strategic planning processes. But too often, those methods ignore the role of the Holy Spirit and the congregation ends up tweaking old ways rather allowing the Spirit to transform them for the next stage of their journey with God.
The mission of Blue Veil Ministries is to walk with individuals, congregations and other communities of practice as they learn to dance with the Holy Spirit into God’s promised future.
Blue Veil Ministries was founded by Deacon Linda Bobbitt. Deacon Linda is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and a Certified Spiritual Director. Linda partners with other spiritual directors, pastors and people of faith to actively and creatively listen to the Spirit, experiment and share what we are learning, so that we can all be transformed by our relationship with God for the sake of the world.
My Approach
Spirituality is about your relationship with God . God initiates this relationship and gives you the gift of longing so that you will seek God. Over time, God calls many of us into a deeper relationship, one that ultimately transforms our life so that we may join with God in transforming the world.
My role as a spiritual director is to create a safe space for you to explore and respond to God’s call, opening yourself up to the Holy Spirit trough prayer, spiritual practices and conversation.
I will help you listen and reflect on this conversation between you and God so that you can respond faithfully.
Spiritual Director
As a spiritual director, my role is to create space for you to take the next steps on your spiritual journey as you learn to dance with God.
Guest Speaker, Preacher and Facilitator
I am available to teach and preach in congregations, teach or facilitate classes and small groups exploring spirituality, spiritual practices and their connection to congregational vitality.
I also accompany congregations in discernment through training and facilitating teams within the congregation as they listen to the Spirit, one another and the surrounding community to determine what God is calling them to become next.
