Spiritual Coaching
With Phil Vestal
Many people have a relationship with God, know a lot about the Bible, and may have prayed for many years, but struggle to feel connected to the Holy Spirit or hear the voice of God.

He has over a decade of experience guiding others along this path so they too can discover peace, freedom, and a meaningful connection with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

“Pastor Phil has helped me to better hear God’s voice in my life. One of Phil’s strengths is his calm spirit. Having suffered with anxiety most of my life, I began participating in his Ruah Space Yoga. Through this, I was able to better calm the 1,000 worries that run through my mind on a daily basis, and connect with God in a way I couldn’t do very well before.”
-Kyra, 20
