Rob Schettler, M.Div, BCC
Master’s in Pastoral Care and Counseling Board Certified Chaplain
Certified Spiritual Companion
Member of Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association
and adheres to the Code of Ethics with ESDA.
Growing up in a not-so-functional home, I learned the means of survival as a boy and through my teenage years. Those years included years of sexual abuse from people outside my family, including drug abuse, sex, and a rebellious lifestyle, leading me on a self-destructive path that would take years of recovery. After meeting Christ at eighteen and receiving His forgiveness, I have found great joy in helping others on their journey to recovery from similar paralyzing events in their lives. God’s Light illuminates the dark areas of our lives and brings us to new life and hope in our relationship with Him.
I have been married to Jeanne for thirty-seven years. We have a son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. Last year, I finished a four-month sabbatical, following twenty-four years as a chaplain and several years as a pastor to a new trajectory in ministry. The years prior, I was a hospice chaplain for sixteen years and served as chaplain/coordinator in a local hospital for eight years. I have walked alongside many beautiful people with amazing stories.
For fifty-eight years, Jesus has shepherded me across similar fields and mountaintops full of vistas and invitations. This adventurous journey continues. I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, cycling, social gatherings, Henry my Bernedoodle, journaling, nature, and great books.
