Welcome! I’m Michael.
I’m a former evangelical who left evangelicalism for universal love. I coach people through difficult faith shifts so they can rebuild a healthy spirituality, whether that entails still following Jesus, is post-Christian, or something else. I can help you heal from toxic religion and find and embrace what you decide matters most.
What is non-religious spiritual direction?
It’s not anti-religious. It’s anti-religious-harm. Non-religious spirituality is a paradigm on faith that doesn’t have to include religious dogma, church, or traditional notions of prayer and worship. Non-religious spiritual direction is me helping you find your own spiritual path during or after deconstructing evangelicalism or some other high-control religious system.
Would you benefit from my coaching and spiritual direction services?
If you resonate with the following, I can help. You…

Are questioning conservative Christianity and need help deconstructing it and rebuilding a revitalized faith or philosophy of life.
Were traumatized by rigid religious teachings or practices and need to heal from things like hell anxiety, fear-fueled faith, the image of a retributive god, critical thinking denial, religious manipulation, purity culture, spiritual abuse, Bible worship, etc.
Struggle with a faith or existential crisis and need to address issues in a safe space.
Were spiritually abused by toxic teachings and/or high-control religious leaders and need to recover.
