Bill Gaultiere

Bill Gaultiere, Ph.D. is a psychologist and ordained pastor, specializing in ministry to pastors. He was personally mentored by Dallas Willard and Ray Ortlund Sr. He and his wife Kristi (also a therapist with a doctorate in psychology) are the founders of Soul Shepherding, a ministry to help people discover their next steps for growing in intimacy with Jesus, emotional health, and loving relationships.

They are the authors of “Journey of the Soul,” which has been #1 on Amazon in Christian Counseling. Bill’s earlier book, “Your Best Life in Jesus’ Easy Yoke,” tells the story of his spiritual renewal from anxious living and burnout.

Bill and Kristi train pastors and others who are serving God in their Soul Shepherding Institute retreats and Spiritual Direction certificate program. He’s trained over 1,000 lay counselors and taught graduate courses in Christian psychology and spirituality. They have been professional speakers since 1987 and each week they broadcast the Soul Talks podcast and publish the Soul Shepherding blog.
