Hi, I’m Mary
Charles Heath
MY ROLE IS TO PROVIDE A LISTENING SPACE AND A SAFE PASSAGEWAY BETWEEN your heart and GODs SO HIS SPIRIT CAN FLOW FREELY
I am deeply passionate about coming alongside others on their faith journey, facilitating the discovery of answers, and nurturing their relationship with God. Spiritual direction can be a much-needed exhale after years of holding your breath.
I wholeheartedly believe that every individual, regardless of where they find themselves on their faith journey, can be profoundly changed through the practice of holy listening, whether in a group setting or in one-on-one sessions with a spiritual director.
WHAT IS Making Way?
Making Way is a pastoral care ministry that exists to quiet the noise so we can learn to listen—to God, to ourselves, and to others. Through pastoral care, spiritual direction, and soul care groups, this ministry offers a gentle path toward spiritual formation—not through striving, but through surrender.
Like a sailboat carried by the wind, spiritual life isn’t powered by effort alone—it’s about learning to trust the steady current of the Spirit. As we make way and create space, transformation unfolds.
At its heart, Making Way is about gently quieting the noise so we can create space to hear the tender voice of God..
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalm 23:2
