Strahan Coleman is an award-winning musician, poet, writer, teacher and spiritual director from Aotearoa in New Zealand. He is the founder of Commoners Communion, which explores deep communion with God through spiritual retreats. He also has a podcast and an online prayer schools.
Coleman has authored three volumes of poetic prayer books offering contemplations, and reflections. His poem Never Alone was performed by Amanda Cook.

Coleman grew up in suburban New Zealand and describes his mother as initially new age although after listening to a Christian radio station his father prayed for deliverance and became a Christian and the family began attending Baptist Church.
However, it wasn't until a period of chronic illness as a young man, that Coleman says he really discovered who he felt God was.
In this episode of The Profile he speaks to Deputy Editor of Christianity Magazine Emma Fowle to discuss his journey in relationship with God, what chronic illness taught him about faith and what being a contemplative Christian means to him.
