About

We cultivate intimacy with Jesus for pastors and leaders

On average a seminary trained pastor remains in ministry five years. The number one cause for leaving is burnout.

We are Christ-centered psychotherapists (since 1987) and spiritual directors. All of our Ministries are focused on assisting the Good Shepherd as he restores your soul and empowers your ministry to others. We help individuals, couples, groups, and staff teams.

We invite you to Contact either of us for an appointment in our office or to meet over a cup of coffee or tea. We can also talk via phone or Skype and we do this for ministry leaders from around the world.

Soul Shepherding is a 501c3 nonprofit ministry (since 2009) in which Bill serves full time. We’re funded primarily by tax-deductible donations from individuals. Other sources of revenue are fees for services, honorariums, teaching seminary classes, and sales of our books. We follow a budget set by our independent Board of Directors (we are not voting members of the Board).

Following Jesus, the Shepherd of our souls, with you (1 Peter 2:25),
