About Melissa Wuske
God has created Melissa to offer others gracious, spacious community through spiritual direction. She was raised in a Christian church with a deep understanding of scripture and a strong ethic for serving in ministry. But throughout adulthood, she has had a growing awareness of the work of the Holy Spirit and a deep need for the soul nourishment that comes only from God.
In 2017, Melissa began meeting with a spiritual director. Her time in direction helped nourish her soul during several difficult years and gave her the space to hear from God about her calling.
In 2022, she graduated from Selah, a two-year training program for spiritual directors through Leadership Transformations. In addition to spiritual direction, Melissa is an editor and writer. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband, who is a minister, and her son.
My Approach to Direction
I believe God has created me to offer others gracious, spacious community through spiritual direction. I hold space for you to notice the Holy Spirit's work in your life, drawing on scripture, contemplative prayer, and deep listening.
Who I Work With
I welcome anyone longing for gracious, spacious community where you can hear from God. Whether you are in a difficult season or simply seeking deeper nourishment for your soul, I would love to walk alongside you.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Our first session is an invitation to slow down and notice where God is at work in your life. We will get to know each other, and I will listen for the movements of the Holy Spirit in your story.
