Faith-Centered Soul Care

Helping You Notice

Where God Is at Work

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Stepp

RETREAT FACILITATOR . SPIRITUAL DIRECTION . WRITING COMPANION

Jenna Stepp is a Maine-based retreat facilitator, spiritual director, Writing Companion, and founder of BirchWave Soul Care. Jenna creates thoughtful, unhurried spaces where people can listen to their lives, honor their stories, and notice where God may already be at work.

For more than 27 years, she has preached, taught, and spoken at churches, conferences, retreats, and ministry gatherings, with particular strengths in storytelling, encouragement, spiritual formation, and creating meaningful spaces for reflection.

Jenna holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, with theological and spiritual formation training through Vineyard Leadership Institute and Sustainable Faith. Her experience includes pastoral leadership and church planting, service with Vineyard USA’s National Youth Task Force, nonprofit and organizational consulting, leading pilgrimages along the Ignatian Way, and designing and facilitating retreats for church staff, nonprofit teams, leaders, and other organizations.

Whether speaking at a conference or facilitating a staff retreat, leadership retreat, or Christian spiritual formation retreat, Jenna brings warmth, creativity, thoughtful preparation, and plenty of room for people to engage at their own pace. Her approach is simple: offer enough direction to help people engage, then create room for them to notice their own story, what is happening within and around them, and where God may already be at work.

Words From Those

We’ve Accompanied

Why Soul Care?

Life can become so full that we lose touch with what is happening within us—and with the God who is present in the midst of it all.

Soul care creates room. – use visuals

Room To Stop

Because a life without margin eventually costs us something.

Room To Notice

Because we can move through our days without recognizing what is happening within us—or around us.

Room To Remember

Because our stories help us understand where we have been, what has shaped us, and who we are becoming.

Room To Stop Listen

Because God is often already at work before we recognize it.

Room To Delight

Because we were made not simply to endure our lives, but to receive them—to experience joy, beauty, connection, and the goodness of God along the way.

Soul care isn’t an escape from your life.
It’s a way of becoming more fully present to the life God has given you.
