Meet the Spiritual Directors
- Jeremy BryanSpiritual Director
DSR HostJeremy is a certified spiritual director and recording artist with two decades of ministry experience with youth and adults through chaplaincy and the arts. He currently serves as Director of Hip-Hop Pedagogy for an arts-based nonprofit in Cleveland, OH, where he lives with his wife and 3 children. His latest album, “Midlife Crisis,” is streaming on all services under his stage name Quill the Messenger. - Beth HegneySpiritual Director
DSR HostMuch of my connection to God happens outside church walls—in the woods, beside water, through travel, photography, art, and honest conversation over coffee. For Beth, church is a way of being in the world alongside others, attentive to the sacred in everyday life. She believes God invites us into the ordinary shaped by curiosity, creativity, and mystery, holding joy alongside grief and moving from shame to grace.
Beth holds a Master of Theology and is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation and Direction at Fuller Theological Seminary. She works via Zoom or from her “little house” in the Minnesota woods. Beth shares life with her husband, two teenagers, and her greatest teacher of faith—her grown daughter with significant special needs, who teaches without ever speaking. - Dr. Jennifer RothSpiritual Director
DSR HostJennifer Roth is a spiritual director who creates space for Christian leaders to slow down, listen deeply, and find their way forward with God. Her calling grew out of a grace-filled journey of discovering that rest in Jesus extends beyond relief from exhaustion into a life of abiding. She holds a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Direction and Formation from Fuller Theological Seminary and brings experience in higher education, nonprofit work, and vocational church ministry. Alongside spiritual direction, she leads soul care retreats, facilitates spiritual formation cohorts, and cultivates online spaces that foster rhythms of rest and life with God. She delights in Sabbath, quality time with loved ones, a good story, and life with her senior pup, Samson.
- Yolanda "Yo" MillerSpiritual DirectorAs a former youth pastor and current pastor’s wife, Yo is passionate about providing ministry leaders and their families a sacred space to unburden their souls on the lonely paths they often walk. Yo specializes in calling, purpose, and identity—through individual sessions, groups, and sabbatical coaching. She is fascinated by people’s stories and enjoys walking with those who need discernment for life transitions and wrestle with liminal space as they ponder the next chapter of their stories.
Yo holds an M.A. in Theology and Youth Ministry from Fuller Seminary, where she’s led graduate students in spiritual formation and theological reflection groups for the last 12 years. She is also a spiritual director and sabbatical coach with Soul Care (Boulder, CO) and previously led discernment groups for marketplace leaders at Fuller's De Pree Center for Leadership. She received her three-year spiritual direction certificate from Sisters of St. Joseph in Orange and Loyola Marymount University. - Rev. Dr. Laura MurrayFounder of Spacious Soul
