He has an MDiv and Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Theology and Counseling. He is a Certified Spiritual Director with Soul Shepherding Institute and Certified Enneagram Practitioner by IEQ9 Institute.
John and His wife Hannah, who is a counseling psychologist, were drawn to Soul Shepherding when they were slowly coming out of a dark night of the soul and were looking for a systematic training on Soul Care for personal growth and ministering to others. The empathy they received from SS retreats strengthened their inner life journey and equipped him to offer spiritual direction for pastors, Christian workers and ministry leaders.
John and his wife Hannah currently live in Chennai, India and are proud parents of two adult children.
