About Kenna Bynum

I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to visit and get to know a bit about me. It’s an honor to share my story with you.
 
I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia, but life has taken me across various places before settling in Southern California, where I’ve now lived for the last 30 years. I got married 23 years ago, and our daughter arrived 16 years ago, bringing so much joy into our lives. Since my teenage years, I’ve always been drawn to fostering connection and community among women. I think it stemmed from my own longing for deep friendships, belonging, and the desire to be truly seen and heard. These desires shaped my journey into women’s ministry and soul care, which have become cornerstones of my life.
 
Over the years, I’ve served in various roles, from Youth Ministry leader to an ordained Deacon at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, and now as a Certified Christian Spiritual Director and Soul Care Facilitator. This journey has been about helping others, but it’s also been deeply personal, shaping who I am today.
 
My introduction to Spiritual Direction wasn’t an expected step for me—it was more of a lifeline. When I started, I wasn’t in a good place spiritually. I felt disconnected, weighed down, and unsure of where God was in the midst of it all. Even though I was praying, attending church, and doing all the things I thought I “should” do, I still felt distant from God. My soul was restless, full of questions: Why can’t I hear You, God? Are You with me? What’s wrong with me?
 
Entering into Spiritual Direction was a hopeful leap, and it transformed my relationship with God and myself. It was like a door opened, and I finally experienced the intimacy with God I had been yearning for. It changed the way I related to my husband, my family, and even myself—offering more grace, forgiveness, and peace.
God hadn’t left me. In fact, He was pursuing me, drawing me into a deeper relationship than I could have imagined. And that’s the beauty of Spiritual Direction—it’s a space where you can listen, reflect, and connect with God in ways that lead to healing and transformation.
 
If you find yourself in a place where you’re longing for more—whether you feel stuck, numb, or simply seeking deeper connection with God—know that you’re not alone. Spiritual Direction is a safe place to explore your questions, doubts, and desires.
 
If this speaks to your heart, I’d love to journey with you.
 
Blessings upon blessings,
