Rev. Dr. Linda Leon

I’ve spent over 30 years dedicated to the process of Christian spiritual formation, where the Holy Spirit gets to work in transforming people.

My story includes the loss of multiple loved ones, unexpected divorce, & church hurt. Through it all, I’ve tangibly experienced that God still overcomes darkness with light, extends love without end, & gives hope for everyday living.

When meeting for spiritual direction or faith-based mentoring, I deeply listen & compassionately encourage others in their relationship with Christ.  This can look like guiding others to listen to the Spirit, processing everyday life and faith, or teaching Christian spiritual practices to understand God and ourselves.

I am certified in Christian Spiritual Direction through PAX Institute for Spiritual Formation and hold a Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. As an ordained pastor with the Presbyterian Church (USA), I serve college students in NE Ohio.  See my LinkedIn profile for details on my education, certifications, & skills.

I’m a life-long learner, outdoor adventurer, & wannabe movie critic. Give me some free time and I'll most likely garden, kayak, read, or hang out with my rescue dog Kona.
