Soul Talks With Bill & Kristi Gaultiere

Here’s a simple and powerful way to pray a Scripture phrase, using your breathing to engage your mind and heart with God’s loving presence. Bill and Kristi share specific Breath Prayers From the Bible and guide you in how to use them to refresh and renew in God’s Word and to intercede for other people.

We tend to separate sexuality and spirituality, but God put them together. God’s plan is for husbands and wives to enjoy sex in the context of emotional and spiritual intimacy. Bill and Kristi share personally about the challenges and opportunities of sex in marriage.

We all experience disappointments and losses but how do we react? We may deny our sadness, get busy, or judge ourselves, but that diminishes our joy and our capacity to offer compassion to others. Asking for emotional comfort is different than complaining or wallowing in self-pity — it’s the path of regaining energy for life and ministry.

Releasing our children to be their own persons is part of loving them. It starts when they’re little and continues all through life! Celebrating their daughter’s wedding has Bill and Kristi rejoicing, grieving, empathizing with one another, and praying to God as Abba.

When the Lord in his Word says, “Fear not” he’s not judging us for having worries or fears! He’s actually inviting us to feel, talk, and pray. He’s opening his arms to us in love. We share a meditation on Luke 12:32 to experience the love of Christ and the Father.

Most Christian leaders say they don’t have a close friend. There’s a certain aloneness and feeling of being unappreciated that goes with being a pastor, pastors’ spouse, counselor, boss, or parent. You carry others’ burdens but who carries yours? Bill and Kristi feel the struggle — do you? Join our conversation to discover with us that the risen Christ meets us in lonely places and he enables us to love one another (Luke 5:16; John 15:12).

Dumping on people it’s not helpful! Effective listening enables people to feel cared for and to take personal personal responsibility — it doesn’t “fragilize” them. We discuss an example in parenting. Bill’s Bible study and reflective meditation from Habakkuk helps us be strengthened in faith through venting emotion wisely.
