Host: Steve Macchia, Guests: Bill and Kristi Gaultiere
“Ohh, I need to do some more inner journey work. This is an invitation.” –Kristi Gaultiere
Bill and Kristi Gaultiere are Drs of Psychology and the Founders of Soul Shepherding, a ministry to help pastors, leaders, churches, and all those desiring to thrive with Jesus in emotional and relational health. They are authors of a number of soul care books and resources. They have been speaking and writing about following Jesus in life and ministry since 1987. Bill and Kristi join Steve for a rich conversation about spiritual practices, discerning together and soul care. For their book Journey of the Soul, they reflect on more than 70,000 hours of therapy and spiritual direction with people. From Journey of the Soul, Bill and Kristi share six stages of spiritual growth and different walls that we experience. These walls start as periods of disorientation but become transition times to a more Christ-centered way of being. Listen as they share personal stories of supporting one another during their own walls and offer a light and a map to help every person through their own journey of the soul.
Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings. Additional LTI spiritual formation resources can be found at www.SpiritualFormationStore.com and www.ruleoflife.com and www.healthychurch.net.

Bill and Kristi Gaultiere (Season Twenty-Two Guest)

Bill & Kristi are opposite in personality. Bill is a Type A thinker and Kristi is a relational feeler. But together, their styles and stories blend to create Journey of the Soul, their new book that guides you out of the stuck places in your spiritual life and into the expansive areas of intimacy with God, emotional health, and loving relationships.
