Larry Warner, who refers to himself as the beloved of God and enjoys going barefoot, is a teacher, a pastor, a retreat leader, poet and a spiritual director. He is an associate professor in the area of spiritual formation, Ignatian spirituality, and spiritual direction.

As a spiritual director, Larry meets with pastors and church leadership throughout the world. He is a retreat leader, award winning author of Journey with Grief and has also written Seeing Jesus with New Eyes, Discernment, God's Will & Living Jesus, Journey with Jesus, Awake and Aware, and co-authored Imaginative Prayer for Youth Ministry.

Though roles and experiences changed, his passion has remained the same: to help people more fully embrace God’s love and to live more fully into and out of the person God has called and created them to be, free to love and serve others in life giving ways.
