Modern life is chaotic. Recent reports expose the pressure we are under:
We've created a society that celebrates exhaustion and independence as status symbols. "I'm so busy" has become our modern humble-brag, and "hustle culture" is our new religion.
We're not just tired – we're trapped in a cycle of perpetual motion that we've mistaken for a sign of virtue.
But here’s the dirty little secret: our obsession with productivity is a form of idolatry. It’s an attempt to control our world and justify our own existence. And like all pagan gods eventually do, “Productivity” demands human sacrifice. It demands that we sacrifice ourselves and our loved ones on the altar of work in exchange for good reputation, a fat paycheck, or self-satisfaction.
Signpost Inn Ministries is a refuge in the midst of the chaos of noise, demands, and hustle. But more than that we point people’s attention to Jesus—who is our sabbath rest.
Of course, there are many obstacles that prevent people from resting in Christ’s grace and providence. We’re distracted, afraid, and cynical. Is Jesus really good? Does he really love me? Can I really trust him? Even if I do want to rest in him, how do I do that!?
I get it. Scripture, the church, leadership, authority, religion, these things have been weaponized and diluted so frequently in today’s world many people don’t know where to look or whom to trust.
And that’s why Signpost Inn offers a different approach. We don’t offer more programs. We’re not another spiritual workout routine. Instead we offer simple hospitality. We meet people with genuine interest and compassion. We walk alongside everyone in need of a soul-friend and together we lift our gaze from the chaos of life, and fix our attention on the real, loving, presence of Jesus Christ.
He is the true savior. The true healer. The true director. The true source of peace and rest. Signpost Inn helps Christians from all walks of life connect more deeply with Him.

We do this by creating welcoming spaces, thoughtful resources, and offering wise and compassionate guidance to help you navigate complex issues of life with kindness and wisdom.

In 2024 we officially launched our monthly newsletter for spiritual directors and planned an awesome series of lectures for our 2025 virtual meetups.
Nearly every Wednesday night we host an open gathering for people to come enjoy good food, fellowship and conversation. Attendance varies between a few people to a few dozen people. In the latter half of the year we focused on reading C. S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters out loud and discussing it as we went. We've started off 2025 by reading Liv's and Brandon's book.
I’m 51 years old and until about a year ago, I had never even heard of “spiritual direction.” And then, when I did hear about it, it seemed way too mystical and mysterious for a recovering fundamentalist (I’ve been recovering for a couple decades now). But when, after talking about the tremendous life upheavals I’ve been through in the last few years, a friend and supporter offered to make meeting with a spiritual director a reality—I thought “what can I lose?”
I’m not sure I can ever thank Brandon enough for being my hiking guide, my sherpa for the last several months. My eyes are being opened to the importance of being quiet with God, of listening, of resting, and of believing what is true about Jesus and about myself. Every time we meet, I’m left feeling a little more at peace and believing the truth a little more.
Thank you and Liv so much for everything you did both beforehand and throughout the weekend to prepare a space and create an atmosphere for us to connect more deeply with God and with each other. I didn't really know what I was signing up for in coming, but God definitely met me there, led me throughout the weekend, and did exactly what He wanted to do with the time.
On Wednesday nights at Signpost Inn, it is evident to me that God is present. The atmosphere and setting envelops me in God's love and mercy, and the conversation and understanding that are offered there leave me feeling filled and recharged.
God is present in a tangible way on Wednesday evenings. The culture at Signpost Inn is one of compassion and humility and companionship. They remind me that, even though I struggle, God is for me and God is with me on my journey, as are my friends. It is here, here at the Inn, where I feel that I have the freedom to rest from striving with good food and good people. Through the conversations the Holy Spirit speaks, breathing life in me, giving me the strength and endurance to carry on.
Amazing interviews, awesome new resources, a truly useful emails — we aim to become thought leaders in our space.
In 2025 we are organizing our efforts around Donor acquisition and retention as well as expanding the number of people using our services.
We can't say much about this yet, but we're exploring building something BIG and exciting!
As always, we are committed to trusting Jesus to show us what, and how, to fulfill our calling. No matter what.
The vast majority of our income comes from dedicated, individual donors who have joined us in helping people connect with God.
Staff is our greatest expense because people are our ministry. Everyday our team dedicates their full-time to connecting with others.
We finished last year slightly in the black even though we saw a slight decline in our overall income. Our cost cutting measures paid off and have set us up for success in 2025.
In 2024 our Bitcoin holdings showed a massive gain! We plan to use these funds in 2025 to significantly boost our marketing and donor acquisition initiatives.
