S2E24: Spiritual Conversations with Children

Julia interviews Spiritual Directors Kaisa Stenberg-Lee and Lacy Finn Borgo. Both Kaisa and Lacy are trained directors who work with children. Join us for a gentle conversation about caring well for the kids in your midst as they're getting ready to head back to school. (This episode was recorded winter 2021 so may have a few outdated references). Kaisa Stenberg-Lee is a dear friend of Julia's, and they spent years doing life together in Amsterdam. Kaisa was born and raised in Finland, studied Education in Wales and lived and worked in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for nearly a decade after that. She spent much of her life in cross-cultural missions, and more specifically, in pastoral ministry to children, youth and families. She pioneered a missional youth ministry with YWAM Amsterdam, and served on the pastoral staff of an international church, Amsterdam Vineyard. Kaisa now lives in Denver, CO and offers spiritual direction, retreats and prayer tools for children and adults through her private practice, Kutsu Companions. Lacy Finn-Borgo teaches and provides spiritual direction for the Renovaré Institute as well as the Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Direction at Fuller Theological Seminary. She teaches classes on spiritual direction and spiritual formation at Portland Seminary and serves as a faculty advisor for the DMin. in Leadership and Spiritual Formation.
