Find your path.
Find your path forward
We all need guidance from time to time. You might be facing a transition, wrestling with a decision, feeling stuck, longing for something more or simply wondering what comes next. Or perhaps you're seeking a deeper connection with God and looking for space to listen, reflect, and grow.
There are multiple paths you can take.
At Evergreen Pathways, we help you discover what keeps you rooted, what gives your life meaning and grounds you, and what path makes sense for this season of life.
Through coaching, spiritual direction, and retreats, we create space for reflection, discernment, growth, and renewal.

Pathways for Growth and Discernment
Different Paths. Shared Purpose.
Not every journey requires the same kind of support. Some seasons call for practical guidance and accountability. Others invite deeper reflection on God's presence and movement in your life.
Evergreen Pathways offers two primary ways of walking alongside individuals and leaders: coaching and spiritual direction.
Coaching
What is coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative and creative process that helps you clarify goals, navigate challenges, and move forward with intention. Together, we'll identify obstacles, explore possibilities, and create meaningful steps toward the future you desire.
Spiritual Direction
What is spiritual direction?
Spiritual direction is the practice of helping people notice and respond to God's presence and activity in their lives. Through prayerful conversation and deep listening, spiritual direction creates space to explore questions of faith, purpose, discernment, and spiritual growth.
Sometimes the most important step is stepping away.
Retreats
Evergreen Pathways is developing retreat opportunities grounded in contemplative Christianity and the ancient practices of silence, prayer, reflection, and discernment. In a culture that often values busyness and productivity, retreats create intentional space to slow down, pay attention to God's presence, and listen more deeply to your own life.
Whether you are navigating a transition, seeking spiritual renewal, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, our retreats will offer a welcoming space for reflection, rest, and transformation.

Hi, I’m Jeff.
My name is Jeff McClain.
Over the years, I've spent time in both corporate leadership and pastoral ministry. Those experiences taught me that life rarely fits neatly into categories. Professional challenges affect our personal lives. Spiritual questions shape our decisions. Relationships influence everything.
Because of that, I bring a holistic approach to coaching and spiritual direction. Together, we can explore whatever is most important to you—professional goals, life transitions, leadership challenges, questions of faith, or simply discerning what comes next.
My role is not to tell you what to do. It is to create space for reflection, ask thoughtful questions, and help you discover your own path forward.
