Adam Rechenmacher is the founder of Presently. He is formally trained in spiritual direction at the Institute for Spiritual Formation, a department of Talbot Theological Seminary, where he received a MA in Soul Care.

Historically, a Spiritual Director has been a minister of Christ’s church, as well as supported financially by the church i.e. bishops, priests, anchorites. The evolution of the Spiritual Direction has emerged in its modern form through Individual Practices by “professionals” of many faith backgrounds specifically trained in the art of listening, discernment and compassion and who have studied, to some degree, the science of Theology, Psychology or Sociology i.e. Seminarians, Cenobites and Life Coaches. Both traditions of Spiritual Direction exist today for those who are called and gifted toward this ministry. Some choose to continue in the tradition of the “one another” ministry described by St. Paul, while others make themselves available to the wider community of the wandering spiritual pilgrims.

Presently is an organization created by Adam Rechenmacher for the sole intent of helping spiritual pilgrims receive the love of God. The name Presently is derived from the description of God’s love. Often, love is thought of as a noun, but God’s love is first a verb, a constant ever-flowing action toward his children. The illusory heart regularly refrains from receiving the love God offers in the present moment, by holding off for a love He will have for the individual on another day when he is more deserving. God’s love is transformational and the only power strong enough to break the vices and deep destructive patterns in the heart. Presently’s Trained Associates predominantly offer services of Spiritual Direction, but also Seminars and Guided Retreats – all aimed at the end goal of exposing how God is loving the individual in all circumstance and in every situation, resulting in deep healing and character reformation.
