Jared Wass has been in coaching, caring and training roles in ministry for over twenty years. Part of that time in college ministry and part as a pastor focused on small groups and adult discipleship. He stepped out of his pastoral role to dedicate his time fully to providing soul care and leading formational group experiences through an initiative he started called Deeply Formed. The care he offers comes out of his own work of healing and wholeness after being stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety and shame.
Jared loves to come alongside people on their own journey of discovery and renewal. He uses an integrative approach that combines wisdom and practices from psychology, neuroscience, spiritual direction and Christian formation. At the heart of it is holding space for others to process life and encounter the divine love that reorders our disordered lives. The aim is not only symptom alleviation and tools for healthier functioning but also the deeper work of healing, transformation and living a more fruitful life in Christ. In addition to working with CrossPoint Jared also partners with a Christian counseling clinic where he lives in the Minneapolis, MN area.
Jared grew up in Iowa and consequently is a fan of Hawkeye football and basketball. He also enjoys reading, history, travel, experiences with friends and time with his wife and three sons.
