Bio


My journey into spiritual direction came out of a desire to be WITH God: to respond with my whole self to His overwhelming, steadfast love for me. For most of my life I have lived an exhausting Christian life - always DOING things for God fueled my false identity of achievement stemming from my career in technology sales. Being WITH God allows me to be my true self: a human BEING, not a human DOING, basking in the joy of contemplative stillness with God. Through spiritual direction I long to companion others in this life-giving posture with our loving father.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

“Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.“
