Prayer Remote Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Applicant Letter (job description below)
Cover letter with more information will be sent upon receipt of application or upon request by emailing heather.m@seedswildernessway.org.
Director of Therapeutic Care and Formation
Seeds Wilderness Way (formerly Seeds Wilderness Therapy)
The Invitation
Seeds Wilderness Way is seeking a spiritually mature and clinically experienced leader to guide transformation and restoration in the lives of teens, families, and ministry leaders. This is not a standard clinical role. We are looking for a partner who bridges professional therapeutic excellence with deep, Spirit-led ministry-someone who longs to advance the Kingdom of God rather than secular modalities.
Our ideal candidate is a Clinical Shepherd who brings high-level training under the submission of the Holy Spirit, shaping both the spiritual and clinical culture of Seeds.
About Seeds Wilderness Way
Seeds Wilderness Way uses wilderness expeditions and community-based discipleship to accelerate spiritual formation and healing. We seek to serve a diverse population-at-risk youth, parents, community leaders, youth pastors, missionaries, and families in crisis. While our flagship offering is a 40-day backcountry expedition for teens, our ministry extends far beyond that single program to include:

• 40-Day Wilderness Expeditions for teens (Retreat-Restore-Revive model)
• Parenting Workshops at diverse or home locations across the country
• Parent and Family Intensives, a 4 day seminar for repair/prevention of deeper issues
• Spiritual Development for Ministry Workers and Missionaries
• 3 Year Aftercare Follow-Up Programs, helping build transformational relationships for long term restoration
• Community-Based Discipleship & Church Partnerships

The ideal candidate will seek to advance the Kingdom of God, utilizing secular therapy models to increase understanding and treatment under the Lordship of Christ. Many of our clientele are coming in with previous diagnoses, complex traumas, and/or mental health disorders. Therefore, we honor clinical understanding, but we prioritize Kingdom approaches-prayer, scripture, spiritual disciplines, and identity formation in Jesus-over the standard "assess-diagnose-treat" model.
The Role
You will serve as a key restoration leader shaping both the spiritual and clinical DNA of Seeds. The role is primarily remote, with strategic travel to Colorado for field engagement, leadership meetings, and relational connection with staff and students.
You will operate at the intersection of:

• Spiritual authority
• Clinical oversight
• Organizational leadership
• Regulatory compliance

You will report directly to the Executive Director and work closely with the Field Director, primary therapists, and pastoral staff.
The Ideal Candidate: Spiritual DNA

• Deep intimacy with Jesus and a life led by the Holy Spirit.
• Believes experiential learning in the wilderness is a more powerful teacher than traditional talk therapy.
• Alignment with the principles of Soul Care (Reimer), Breakthrough (Warner), and/or Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You (Wilder).
• Recognizes the relational roles that biological family, adoptive family (legal or spiritual adoption), the Church, and the community play in transformation.
• Ability to hear from God and lead with spiritual authority.
• Adheres to Elder standards as described in 1 Timothy and Titus and as understood in the Life Model stages of maturity.
