The Via Vetera Team
Danny Bridgens
Danny Bridgens is a pastor, spiritual director, and worship leader. He received his M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the prestigious Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot Theological Seminary.
After almost 20 years in pastoral ministry, he founded Via Vetera, a non-profit organization that focuses on Christian spiritual formation.
For Danny, there are questions that have to be walked out: How do we find peace when we know that perfection is not possible and weakness is a given? Why do we continue to sin when we know so much? What does it mean that I am in a relationship with God?
These are aspects of the heart that can be only be uncovered in the safety of God’s grace and in the context of a loving community. It is Danny’s greatest joy to accompany people on their journey as they grow in their relationship with Christ.
Susan Ness
Susan has worked in church ministry for the past 17 years — primarily in worship ministry. After attending the first Journey class (in 2012) and experiencing significant change in her relationship with God and with others, she began to increase her ministry involvement in the area of spiritual transformation.
Susan’s desire is to come alongside others in growing their awareness of God’s love, realizing an ever-deepening relationship with Him as well as an honest compassion for others. She has a B.A. in Psychology from Wheaton College (Illinois).
