Revitalize Your Identity, Freedom, & Influence
Past hurts, poor communication, and unmet expectations hinder our relationships. Lack of emotional clarity leaves us vulnerable to feeling overwhelmed. Pressures, busyness, and worldly concerns pull us away from God, leading to spiritual stagnation and depression.
Without guidance, we get stuck and things go downhill. Emotions build up and erupt in harmful ways. Relational conflict escalates out of control. Our spiritual life becomes entangled with unforgiveness, blame, guilt, and shame.
Are you ready to grow in relational connection, emotional peace, and spiritual fulfillment?
I’m here to accompany you. Through transformational leadership coaching, spiritual direction, marriage care, and wilderness adventure - I encourage and equip Christian men, pastors, and ministry leaders to flourish in their spiritual, emotional, and relational health.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Spiritual Direction is a biblical form of Christian soul care dating back to the early church. It is a one-on-one relationship organized around listening, prayer, and conversation directed toward deepening intimacy with God. It is not a program, nor is there a curriculum. Rather it is an accompanied journey of the soul with a commitment to spiritual discovery and transformation in Christ.
IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

Grow in interior freedom from sin and disordered desire, so that you can respond more generously to God‘s call in your life.

What People Are Saying...
Mike,
Pastor
“Matt has been instrumental in providing real counsel and direction to help me and my team navigate difficult leadership situations. Matt has the ability to help leaders see through the “circumstantial mess” to the real roots of a problem. Through genuine care and concern, with real leadership acumen, he is able to help leaders alter their perception of a situation, in particular their own gifts and flaws, and to see their true identity in order to maximize their leadership potential and lead from a place of freedom and joy.”
Jordan and Katherine
Marketing Director, Psychologist
“Matt fostered growth and connection in our relationship, helping us to build a strong foundation for marriage. Matt offers a skill set that is unique from other counselors. His deep knowledge of the biblical foundations of marriage brought us both closer to God as we grew together as a couple. Matt’s allowed space for us to address differences and challenges in a way that felt safe and productive. Most of all, Matt’s authenticity, humor, and genuine care for us as a couple made the time that we spent with him something we looked forward to each week.”
Melinda
Director of Training for Explorers Bible Study
“Bishop Matt Kessler profoundly impacted my life and leadership growth trajectory through his corporate teaching, one on one mentoring and leadership and spiritual development courses. He equipped me with formational frameworks and tools to lead myself and provide healthy, servant leadership to others. I regularly review my notes for sharpening, shaping and sharing with others across cultures and around the globe.”
Melissa
Small Business Owner
“Matt helped me learn how to be a more effective God-centered leader. I grew in an understanding of my strengths, but Matt also effectively shed light on how much I was letting my weaknesses hold me back. With Matt’s help, I learned how to identify the strength and contribution of members of my team and how to augment my team’s overall performance. I’ve greatly grown as a leader.”
Jay
Pastor
“Matt Kessler help me unpack the hidden contents of my heart and reassemble the forgotten pieces of my story. Week after week I discovered my story, how God has been intimately orchestrating my life from the very beginning, molding me inside and out by His grace, to partner with Him in my created role in His story.”
Luke
Pastor
“One of the most formative parts of my sabbatical was the spiritual direction and coaching I had from Matt. Matt’s leadership and shepherding of me through my time away was deeply impactful in helping me reconnect with the Lord, with my wife, and with my own heart. Matt is an extraordinary sabbatical coach and I would insist on any pastor going into a season of rest to entrust their care and guidance to Matt.”
Gloria,
Potter
“I so appreciate Matt’s leadership. He helped me process pain from my past and guided me to a deeper healing and knowledge of who I am in Christ. I felt valued!! I gained the confidence to look at myself through the eyes of my God-given identity, and I was inspired to further God’s Kingdom!”
Selso
Pastor
“My time together with Matt has been invaluable. The environment that he creates has been safe and inviting. I have grown in areas that were a blind spot. There has been so much physical and spiritual healing. I am also grateful for his heart for the well-being of my marriage, and now my wife and I are in a great place. I am thankful for his love and support.”
Hunter
Analyst
“I would highly recommend Spiritual Direction with Matt. Beforehand, I felt lost, spiritual asleep, and desperately needing to grow in my relationship with Christ. As I followed Matt’s helpful guidance through scripture reading, journalling, and prayer - my relationship with Christ grew. Matt took the time to really listen and shepherd me with loving care and aid in my spiritual growth.”
