Thurston Todd Long has ministered in multiple settings and among diverse groups, always with the aim of helping souls discover and develop their connection with God.

In his view, spiritual direction comes with deep and prayerful listening to another as they share from their personal, sacred story. As director, he offers soul companionship – another set of eyes and ears to wonder about elements in that story, all the while keeping his heart tuned for the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit. His deepest desire is to uncover and encourage authentic connections between his guests and the One who loves us right where we are.

He and his wife Cynthia, married since 1985, have three children, four grandchildren, and reside in Ohio, USA.
