Molly Sparling

Sr. Coach, Sr. Spiritual Director

Fayette, ME

Molly serves with Soul Shepherding as a Senior Spiritual Director and Senior Coach.  She is the Chairman of the Board for New England Bible College & Seminary and has served in ministry leadership for over 20 years. 

A Dartmouth College graduate, Molly worked in neuroscience research at Dartmouth Medical School and Walter Reed Army Medical Center before transitioning out of the workforce and into ministry while homeschooling her 3 children. 

Passionate about Scripture and sharing Jesus’ radiant love with others, Molly’s heart as a Senior Spiritual Director is to journey with empathy alongside those struggling from burnout, overwork and overwhelm, church conflict, and the dark night of the soul — helping them find real solutions for abundant living through the attachment love of Jesus.

As a Senior Coach, Molly enjoys helping others explore and identify their vision, purpose, and calling in Christ and is working toward a Masters in Formational Leadership at Lancaster Bible College/Capital Seminary. She is passionate about leadership formation and leading from spiritual authority. She encourages others along God’s pathway toward leadership convergence in which spiritual leaders (in ministry or marketplace) bear more fruit through focused lives in Christ.

Molly and her husband live in the woods and fields of Central Maine. She loves reading, spending time with family, and listening to the loons on the lake.
