About us
Divine Infinity is creating a healing movement
Our mission is to resource people to engage in a spiritual, emotional, and physical journey of freeing themselves from unhealthy narratives that have devoiced and disempowered them so they live an enriched life. We ground lives in the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of God. We are committed to inclusion and diversity. God and your life are as you understand these to be.
Divine Infinity is transforming lives
We have seen lives transformed when immersed in the presence of unconditional Love and want to share this with the world. We walk alongside people as they go on a personal journey of HEALING and GROWTH. We know that when people find peace in themselves they become peacemakers in the world.
Divine Infinity is a spiritual path of healing and personal growth
We invite people to immerse their lives in the Way of unconditional Love, the fruits of which are joy, peace, and FREEDOM. This can be done in the context of any spiritual/religious path someone currently follows. We want to foster DEEPER CONNECTIONS rather than division. We also understand that sometimes people will need to leave their spiritual/religious traditions to deepen their connection to love, joy, peace, and freedom. Leaving may include periods of unbelief.
Living authentically is about living true to your core values, beliefs, and personality. It's about being genuine and honest with yourself and others, embracing your unique qualities, and pursuing your passions without fear of judgment or conformity.

Founder, Chaplain, Educator, and Life Enrichment Mentor
My name is Stephen Richards and I am the founder of Divine Infinity LLC. I have worked as a hospice chaplain in Minnesota, USA, and was a teacher of religion and philosophy in England, UK.
I founded Divine Infinity LLC to help people live an authentic life. For too long, I had been sacrificing myself on the altar of other people’s needs and expectations, especially in religious contexts. In doing so, I allowed guilt, shame, and judgement to devoice and disempower me. This led me to live a fearful and anxious life. I no longer do this, nor do I give anyone or anything the opportunity to take away my power.

Divine Infininty LLC promotes a message of empowered living. We are never to apologise for who we are. You are who you are, and I am who I am.
I was born in England and raised in the Anglican tradition. At the age of 14 years, I became "born again" and spent 10 years as an active member of an Evangelical church. After this, I attended theological college for 2 years to train as a missionary. During this time, I rejected my faith and professed to be an atheist for 20 years. I came to live in America in 2005. In 2016, I hit rock bottom and came back to a life of faith, this time focused on living authentically as a believer rather than one who ascribed to a set of doctrines. I believe the truth of one's faith is seen in how one lives.
I have undertaken jobs that typically place me in supportive roles. When working in retail, I enjoyed serving customers and cultivating a positive team culture. As an educator and chaplain, I sought to foster open relationships where honest conversation was the norm. It is important for people to feel that their contribution matters, no matter how large or small, in the greater scheme of things.
For most of my life, I have wrestled with questions of identity. Today I feel empowered to embrace my true sense of self. Many are struggling to navigate their way through life, which is why I started this ministry. I offer you hope and an empathetic and compassionate presence.
I currently attend an Episcopal church and hold both British and American citizenship.
