About Sara Beth:

As a Friends (Quaker) minister, I believe we have to know God (however we name Divine Presence) in our experience, in our daily lives, not merely think “correct” thoughts about God or say the “right” words. This knowing and being known is a life-long and a life-giving process. While my Quaker upbringing taught me that Spirit is here with us and within us and still speaking to us if we will but listen, I have had to choose to know God and learn to trust God. The hardest for me has been learning to trust myself trusting God! I have had to allow Love to work in me that I might live out more and more of the best things I can say. My calling is to invite people into deeper relationship with Divine Presence, to call us back to the Source of our lives.

Born and raised Quaker, I graduated from Guilford College and Earlham School of Religion (then the only Quaker seminary in the country) and hold a certificate from the Group Leaders Program of the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. I have been a campus minister, a Friends pastor, and directed a grant on vocation and faith on a college campus. I have spoken in many venues, led spiritual formation retreats, groups and workshops, offered spiritual direction, and published articles and devotionals. I love being with people who hunger and thirst to be more aware of God in their lives as well as how they may be called to minister through their gifts in this hurting world.
