What role do you believe divine encounters play in everyday decision-making, and how has one such moment influenced a choice you've made recently? I would love to hear your thoughts and experience!

Module 1 of 6 will be released on Monday, and the start of future courses on Spiritual Practices to follow. I am excited as a Spiritual Director to be your Guide on this journey towards deepening and learning who you are in your prayer life with God. Here's what to expect: - Module released each week till completion. - Journal prompts, short questions, and other learning techniques used - Certificate of Completion emailed to you with signature - Interactive short assignments designed to provoke thought, practice, and community interaction with one another to include your instructor. - A deepening prayer life that you can find fulfilling and intimate. - Learning a new skill to add to your toolbox of spiritual practices. ~Personal note: I take this practice and others that I will also provide instruction on here with extreme humility and gratitude. As your guide, I will give you everything I know that you request for your support and growth. I am energetic and passionate about Prayer. The world needs more of it, and God requires greater depth-- I want to show you how to work towards that with him. See you Monday, Grace and Peace be with you all.

Hey everyone, I'm Heath Garcia – a retired Navy combat veteran and the Spiritual Director for Archangel Ministries. After years of service, deployments, and navigating the invisible wounds that come with it, I founded Archangel Ministries to walk alongside military members, veterans, first responders, and their families on their spiritual journeys. This community is a safe, judgment-free space where we build faith-based resilience, explore spiritual direction tailored to the unique challenges of military life (like moral injury, transition struggles, fear, and finding purpose after service), and support one another in growing closer to God amid the battles – seen and unseen. Whether you're active duty, a veteran, a family member, or someone called to accompany warriors in faith, you're welcome here. We'll share reflections, resources, group discussions, prayer practices, and real talk about integrating spirituality with the grit of service life. I'm excited to journey with you and learn from your experiences, too! To kick things off and help us connect: - What's one challenge you're facing right now in your spiritual or military/veteran life? - How has faith (or your search for it) helped you through tough seasons? - What kind of topics or support would you love to see in this community (e.g., discernment groups, resilience tools, prayer sessions)? Drop your thoughts below – introduce yourself, and let's build this together. Looking forward to hearing your stories! Heath Garcia Spiritual Director, Archangel Ministries Retired Navy Combat Veteran
