The Discerning Leader Podcast

Mindy Caliguire | Your Discerning Life Story, Episode 10

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Mindy Caliguire

“Everything I believe about soul care came about because of the collapse of my interior life.” – Mindy Caliguire

President and Co-Founder of Soul Care, Mindy Caliguire shares about her experiences in spiritual formation ministry and a life of soul care for herself and others. She looks back to the challenges of church planting and her early days of releasing a life of the strategic and analytical in order to “swan dive” into the depth of her interior life, soaking in the unforced rhythms of God’s grace. It is here that she found God in mystery, slowness, stillness and love. She discovered the joy of immersing herself in God and then resting in God’s provisions. Most recently displaced by a wildfire in her neighborhood. Mindy’s faith story is entering a new chapter of trusting God fully. Amidst this level of disruption, soul care has been essential.
