Gloria Dei is an ecumenical group of Spiritual Directors who seek to increase awareness of Spiritual Direction and make it more available in community. Gloria Dei provides referrals for Direction, retreats and teaching programs; and acts as a networking forum for the Spiritual Direction community.

Lisa Prince
Lisa Prince is director and founder of Gloria Dei Community. She has been a spiritual director for over 25 years, completing her internship at Our Lady of Grace Monastery (1998-2000). She is also a trained enneagram instructor (Narrative Enneagram), teaches an ongoing spiritual formation class at Zionsville Presbyterian Church, runs a local chapter of the Thomas Merton Society, and hosts contemplative prayer groups. Lisa lives a contemplative life and sees her journey in silence, solitude, and prayer as integral to her spiritual direction ministry. While Lisa enjoys working with many types of people, her particular focus has been with those suffering grief and loss and those with vocations/careers in Christian ministry.

Sue Armstrong
God uses many paths to guide us in our search for truth, and Sue’s was “a winding one with a childhood in an agnostic family, and few contacts with people who talked outwardly about spirituality.” After marriage and family, and more time abroad, Sue had a personal encounter with God which, as C.S. Lewis describes, “surprised me with joy.” Since then, her own journey to grow in faith has led her through many denominations, and to a Spiritual Director who has companioned Sue along her path. As a result of that gift, she trained at the Our Lady of Grace Monastery in 2010-2011, and feels enormously privileged when she can journey with someone else.

Anne Corcoran
Anne feels that her life has always been marked by “a great cloud of witnesses” in both her family and her religious tradition. Through her training for Spiritual Direction at Our Lady of Grace Monastery (2022-2024), she came to a new appreciation of some beloved mystic teachers. Thanks to their wisdom, Anne now sees the experience of darkness as an invitation to a deeper life with God and others. Anne has a love for lectio divina and group spiritual direction and is a practitioner of centering prayer. She is available for new individuals or groups, online or in person.

Connie Hintz
Like many of us, Connie has found herself in times of spiritual darkness. After one such period of her life, she felt a keen desire for spiritual growth and wholeness, rather than intellectual certainty. This led her to receive training as a Spiritual Director from the Institute for Spiritual Leadership in Chicago. As Connie says, “Spiritual Direction was the gift I needed, and now I wish to pass it along to others.” She also has a Masters in Spirituality from Loyola University. Currently, Connie keeps busy with various book groups and her role as deacon at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Wayne. Reading is her favorite pastime, with C.S. Lewis, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, David Benner, Richard Rohr and Brian McLaren numbering among her favorite authors. Although a member of the Presbyterian Church, Connie is comfortable sitting with directees from any Christian tradition. She is currently living in a retirement community in Fort Wayne. She is available to provide spiritual direction for local folks in her home, otherwise via Zoom.

Wes Kendall
Wes offers spiritual direction for those living west of Indianapolis, and currently lives in Greencastle, IN where he serves as the pastor of Greencastle Presbyterian Church. As an ordained and active minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Wes sees spiritual direction as the heart of all good pastoral ministry and a much needed service for those seeking to deepen their awareness of God. He is particularly interested in working with individuals experiencing crisis in faith or who are seeking deeper ways to pray and engage with God in everyday life. He and his wife have two children. Together, they see their calling as “seeking the welfare” of their community in Greencastle and Putnam County through their lives and service. He is willing to do spiritual direction through ZOOM or in person at his office in Greencastle.

Steve Krusie
Steve Krusie received his certification in spiritual direction from the Charis program in Southeast Texas in June 2014. After living in Indiana for 10 years, Steve and his wife moved to St. Louis in November 2024 and is now a member of The Gathering Church. He believes his calling is to continue working with men of all ages who are intentional about moving forward in their spiritual journey and motivated by the Holy Spirit to find the sacred in everyday life. His faith formation has been deeply influenced by his pilgrimages to both Assisi and Israel. He has also recently completed a three-year study of the “25 Books Every Christian Should Read” curated by spiritual contemporaries such as Beebe, Foster, Rohr and Willard. Steve believes the Holy Spirit is calling him to be in direction with seekers grappling with the polarizing tensions dividing congregations and our country, especially in terms of reconciling with the Gospel message. Steve is available to meet in person or online.

Dave Streit
Dave’s training in the art of Spiritual Direction at Our Lady of Grace Monastery marked an important point in his spiritual journey that has intersected several faith traditions, including Roman Catholicism and mainline Protestantism. He is particularly led to sit with those who are at a crossroads in their faith and desire to hear God’s call to a deeper, richer spiritual life. He is an avid reader and cites St. John of the Cross, The Cloud of Unknowing, Thomas Merton, Meister Eckhart, Ilia Delio and Richard Rohr among his biggest influences. Dave is glad to sit with you in person or online.

Maureen Watson
Maureen completed her spiritual direction training through the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in 2007.  In addition to individual spiritual direction, Maureen serves as a teacher, retreat speaker and author.  She is the proud mother of two adult sons.  “As a most basic commitment, I believe that God IS present in our everyday lives and that listening and looking together for God is the greatest contribution a director can make with a directee.  I believe that nothing is wasted (John 6:12) and that our journey will rarely be a straight line, but in following the bends in the road we will find treasures hidden in the darkness (Isaiah 45:3) that those who are racing through life looking only for the things of this world will miss.  Life is richer when we stop to lean into God’s presence and rest.”

Seana Zoderer
Seana describes her spiritual journey as a winding path, but she has found living a contemplative life has graced her with an abundance of love. She seeks stillness in nature and can often be found enjoying God’s beautiful creation in what she lovingly refers to as “The Church of my Backyard.” She enjoys writing, reading and attending and facilitating retreats. Seana received her Spiritual Direction training at Our Lady of Grace Monastery in 2019-2020 and believes one of the most important aspects of spiritual direction is listening with the ears of your heart. Spiritual direction has been a healing source within her own life, and she feels blessed to have the opportunity to journey with others. One of her favorite ways to describe Spiritual Direction is with a quote from Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.” Seana is available to meet with directees online and in person at her southside Indy home.
