Soul Talks With Bill & Kristi Gaultiere

All of us know that pain and suffering are part of life — Jesus himself promises as much (John 16:33). But that doesn't make it easier when health struggles, relational loss, or other crises come knocking at our door uninvited and unexpected. What does it look like to have faith when life falls apart?

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi and her sisters discuss finding God in the midst of suffering. Their emotionally honest and resilient pursuit of Jesus amid confusion, loss, and grief will provide a roadmap for you to walk out raw faith through the hard realities of life.

Before you ever opened the Bible or stepped into a church, the way that you see and relate to God was already taking shape. That's because family formation plays a foundational role in spiritual formation. How do we reconcile the harmful with the helpful as we desire to grow in our relationship with God and others?

Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi has a special conversation with her sisters, Tara and Sue, about their family experience growing up. Their reflection will give you a window into how your own childhood has affected your life in God. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't leave us where we are — he continues to invite us into greater healing, freedom, and growth.

There are moments when all of us have experienced Scripture as boring or lifeless. But what if we approached the Bible as part of an intimate and interactive relationship with Jesus? Thankfully, God's Word is more than a book to study — it's an invitation to join the love song that our tender Father is singing over you and all of Creation.

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi continue their conversation with Xander Stok — professional singer, songwriter, and founder of Project of Love: The Bible in Song. The "biblical soundtracks" that he creates in collaboration with the Spirit will draw you into an encounter with God as you contemplate and appreciate him through the Word and worship.

All of us have experienced struggles that seem impossible to overcome. From wrestling with sin to battling a mental health disorder to losing faith altogether — there are times when life itself feels hopeless. Yet it's often at our lowest when Jesus seems to draw the nearest. It's there that he sets us free by awakening us to the depths of the Father's heart.```

Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi host a discussion with Xander Stok — professional singer-songwriter and founder of Project of Love: The Bible in Song. His testimony of coming to know God as a loving Father will fill you with fresh hope to discover the healing and freedom that's available through a simple, conversational, and creative walk with Jesus.

It might seem like being a "good Christian" and "working hard for God" is all that's available when it comes to following Christ. Yet eventually, most of us run into struggles, questions, or doubts that leave us needing to untangle ourselves from a faith that once felt solid. What does it look like to live a better life with Jesus?
Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi have a conversation with Tim Timmons — a Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, plus author of a new book called Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief & Gratitude. He talks about how his diagnosis of incurable cancer helped him to wake up to Jesus' nearness and discover a lighter and freer life in God. His fresh perspective will inspire you to pursue deeper trust and fuller joy in how you relate to Jesus and follow him.
