Beloved Discipleship

Is God inviting you to something new?

Have you ever found yourself wanting more from your relationship with God but are unsure how to go deeper?

Beloved Discipleship, LLC., is a ministry to help you do exactly that. Based on years of ministry experience and doctoral studies, Beloved Discipleship aims to help believers experience their belovedness to God as they live as disciples of Jesus.

Beloved Discipleship also offers one-on-one sessions to be with God and a spiritual director. Spiritual Direction, an ancient listening ministry of the church, aims to help you discern "God Moments" in your life and respond to those out of love for Jesus. Jodi listens to what you share about your life, and the Holy Spirit prompts her with questions and prayers. She has years of experience listening to God alongside other Christ-followers and not-quite-yet-followers and finds much value in listening to God alone and together. Together, you will pause from life to be with and listen to God, who speaks to and listens to your longings as you listen to God's heart.

Beloved Discipleship also offers retreats in Spanish or English, in-person or online, focusing on God's great love for women and men.

About Beloved Discipleship

Mission

Many Christians want to walk deeper with God but don’t know how; they may not even know there are ancient paths that are still available for believers today. Beloved Discipleship is a ministry that guides you prayerfully into intimacy with God, helping you discern God’s voice and respond to God’s calling.

Vision

Beloved Discipleship believes that spiritual transformation occurs as people experience movement in new ways toward a perceived sense of intimacy with God. Christians today need to (1) grasp that, above all else, they are beloved disciples, (2) journey toward intimacy with God, contemplating and enjoying the Trinity's presence and love, and (3) discover and implement a new, yet ancient, approach of contemplative discipleship into their walks with God. Years of ministry practice, doctoral studies, and a doctoral project fueled the development of this vision.

Dr. Jodi Hook

Certified Spiritual Director Dr. Jodi Hook has long been passionate about guiding people into God's intimate presence. She has a Master's in Education and a Doctorate in Spiritual Formation with an Emphasis in Soul Care from Denver Seminary, where she teaches as adjunct faculty in the doctoral program. She and her husband have served with The Navigators since 1989, living overseas for nearly thirty years, sharing their love for God with friends who became their family.

Jodi has accompanied many Christians and not-yet Christians as they seek to know, not simply know about, God the Father, Son, and Spirit. She says that what most Christians need to grasp is what they learned as little children: Jesus loves me; this I know.

Jodi lives in Houston with her husband and loves being with her family and friends. Her greatest joy each day is spending time in silence and solitude with the One who loves her more than life itself.

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction is a one on one Ministry of Guided Presence with God and is suitable for:

Ministry Leaders, Pastors, and Missionaries

God Seekers

Women or Men

Those desiring a deeper walk with God

Those seeking to discern God's voice

How is Spiritual Direction different from Life Coaching or Counseling?

While life coaching focuses on goals inspired by God and counseling involves a therapist providing professional care for their clients, Spiritual Directors facilitate you directly engaging with God.

Retreats

Honeymoon with God

“Arise, my darling,

my beautiful one, come with me."

Come away to an intimate, and fun, retreat with God. Learn new ways to experience intimacy with him, and enjoy being in the company of friends. Blending accelerated learning techniques and Scripture makes this retreat memorable and life-changing.

God's Love

For Christians, discipleship is about being beloved, experiencing and enjoying intimacy with God the Father, Son, and Spirit. Yet the church only whispers to believers what it shouts to not-yet believers. This retreat focuses on God’s immense, unfathomable love based on Jodi’s doctoral thesis.
