Thrive with Jesus in life and leadership
JOURNEY OF THE SOUL
Are you feeling stuck in your faith walk? The healthy Christian life is one of continuing spiritual, emotional, and relational growth, but sometimes we feel stuck or stagnated at one stage of the journey.
Get unstuck and identify the next steps you need to take to grow emotionally and spiritually—no matter where you are or how long you’ve been following Jesus.

What makes us different?
Bill and Kristi Gaultiere and their associates know how hard it is to care for your own soul when you’re in ministry or leading other people. That’s why they developed their Institute. They have helped thousands of people, including pastors of large and smaller churches, thrive with Jesus in their life and leadership. When your soul is being nourished in Jesus, you enjoy your work and relationships, your message compels people to Jesus, your team is activated to serve God with you, and your ministry blesses more and more people.
Bill is an author whose articles and books have been read by hundreds of thousands of people. He has served served as a graduate psychology professor and on the leadership team of a megachurch and a church plant. Together, he and Kristi speak to over one thousand people each week on their “Soul Talks” podcast.
The Soul Shepherding Institute features a unique model of training leaders and churches to flourish spiritually and psychologically in their apprenticeship to Jesus and ministry to others. The two-year program features twenty days of learning and soul care with Bill and Kristi, along with options for monthly online groups and a certificate in the ministry of Spiritual Direction. They also provide shorter workshops and retreats for churches. Over 125 men and women in ministry in diverse roles from around the world have participated in this life-changing training.
Through conversational and experiential learning, you will learn the Soul Shepherding model for integrating devotion to Jesus, spiritual psychology, and practical tools for soul care and ministry. You will receive the inspiration and clear guidance you need so that you and the people you influence will thrive with Jesus in life and leadership.
