Live your life with intention.
I walk with people who are ready to slow down, listen for what God is doing in their lives, and take the next faithful step. One-on-one, on retreat, or from the stage.
Meet Linda
Hi, I'm Linda Joy.
I'm a writer, speaker, spiritual director and retreat master living in the Texas Panhandle. A seeker, an adventurer and a lifelong learner, and above every other title I've held, Mom to three wonderful children.
For more than 18 years I've led retreats and walked alongside people in seasons of change. I believe a quiet, intentional pause is often where real change begins.

How do you define yourself?
In different stages of our lives, we define ourselves by whom we belong to. And sometimes we wear labels we never chose.
In the beginning: a sabbatical journey
On my 53rd birthday I gave myself the gift of a year: intentional time set apart for rest, growth and discernment.
Faith over fear
Sitting in the silence of an empty house after the holidays, a familiar gospel story about losing a child hit close to home.
