“As an Executive Pastor for 18 years, it has been easy for me to get focused on and caught up in the busyness and business of operating a church. Too often, I have neglected the foundation of the care of my soul before the Lord. As a result, my personal life and ministry have suffered. Through the Soul Shepherding, retreats, spiritual direction sessions, and resources, they have helped me reconnect my intimacy with the Lord. My work and ministry now flow out of a heart, mind and body of peace and rest and an overflow of the foundation of my identity in Christ”.

"Soul Shepherding sets the table for a great experience and growth in intimacy with Jesus. This is the most helpful leadership training program I’ve participated in — it’s a bargain!"

“God has used Bill and Kristi’s ministry through Soul Shepherding to rescue me and turn me around from a life of over-stress, anxiety, and frenetic hurry. The impact and teaching of empathy through the Institutes and Spiritual Direction Training program has also empowered me to care for my staff team and congregation in ways that deeply enrich and strengthen our church family’s relational values. I am beyond grateful for this life-changing ministry, for my own sake and for our church!”

"I am deeply grateful to God for giving us a place of grace and safety to be who we are without the feeling of being fixed or judged by others. Soul Shepherding has greatly infused hope and love in our hearts for our own healing - individually and as a couple."

"Drs. Bill & Kristi Gaultiere’s ministry, Soul Shepherding, is a wonderful resource for pastors, missionaries, and any leader who desires to become refreshed in their spirit! Their extensive experience in spiritual and emotional health will encourage and transform the way you look at life and relationships. I highly recommend Bill & Kristi and Soul Shepherding to you, your staff and your church. Their ministry to over 400 of our pastors/spouses (at a 2022 Fall Ministers Retreat) brought true inspiration, enrichment, and challenge to everyone!"

"I am inspired by Bill and Kristi Gaultiere and who they are as clinical psychotherapists, speakers, ministers, and people of God. I have found Soul Shepherding to be doctrinally sound, emotionally accurate, and spiritually aligned."

"Soul Shepherding is a gift beyond measure… and might very well be the best investment I have ever made in my relationship with Jesus."
