Seeking Spiritual Direction?

Translate

Danny Chandler: In early adulthood, I spent a short stint in the military, worked in retail, worked in public and private schools, worked in a networking lab, and worked in insurance claims. Later on, I provided internal coaching/consulting and training at a Fortune 50 company for several years. After that, I developed learning technologies and learning strategies for a Fortune 50 company. Nowadays, I work in full-time ministry. I have earned a Master of Arts in Theology and my certificate in Spiritual Direction. I enjoy reading literature, fantasy-fiction, theology, and history. I'm hoping that my thoughts encourage thoughtful reading and offer helpful insights. More than that, I pray that God may bless others through me.
