We all need help from time to time in our spiritual walk.

“The director wants to know our inmost self, our real self…wants to know us not as we are in the eyes of (others), or even as we are in our eyes, but as we are in the eyes of God.” (Thomas Merton)

Barry Rager; Pastor & Spiritual Director

Barry has been in ministry for over twenty years. He is passionate about helping people grow in their relationship with God. Barry has a Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministry and is Certified as a Spiritual Director.

Much of Barry’s desire to offer spiritual direction comes from a sabbatical he was given by his church in 2022. During that time, Barry immersed himself in teachers like Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, James Finley, Richard Rohr, Eugene Peterson, and others. Through their voices, Barry sensed a desire to experience spiritual direction and become a spiritual director. The training and direction he received was transformative in his life and he looks forward to walking on this journey with others.

Barry resides in Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife, Amy, and their four children. He enjoys reading, gardening, running, basketball, and his front porch.
