Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

It is my pleasure to speak with Bill and Kristie Gaultiere today on the podcast...

Bill is a psychologist and ordained pastor, specializing in ministry to pastors. He and Kristi are the authors of Journey of the Soul, which was #1 on Amazon in Christian Counseling. He was personally mentored for many years by Dallas Willard and Ray Ortlund Sr. His earlier book Your Best Life in Jesus’ Easy Yoke tells the story of his spiritual renewal from anxious living and burnout and introduces the message and way of Soul Shepherding.

As a Spiritual Formation Pastor, he’s served in a mega-church and a church plant. He’s also trained over 1,000 lay counselors and taught courses in Christian psychology and spirituality at the graduate school level. He and Kristi train pastors and other men and women in ministry in their Soul Shepherding Institute and Spiritual Direction certificate program. Bill has been speaking in churches and conferences since 1987 and especially enjoys speaking with Kristi. You can listen to their weekly Soul Talks podcast or read their weekly Soul Shepherding blog, which we will also link for you in the show notes. 

Kristi is a psychotherapist and spiritual director for women in ministry and pastors’ wives. She co-leads Soul Shepherding with Bill. She was personally mentored by Jane Willard and Dr. Jan Stoop. As a pastor’s wife, mother, and ministry professional, Kristi offers empathy and wisdom from her experience personally and as a therapist who has spent many thousands of hours caring for people. Kristi enjoys speaking, training, teaching, consulting, counseling, and retreat leading with Bill, as well as recording their weekly Soul Talks podcast.

I enjoyed talking to Bill and Kristie about their newest book, Journey of the Soul, and I hope that this conversation and these resources will also be helpful for you in your own soul care journey. Let’s begin the conversation with Bill and Kristie…

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Well, it is my pleasure to introduce you to today’s guest, Clay Scroggins. Clay resides in Atlanta, GA with his wife Jenny and 5 kids. He is a speaker, writer and he creates content and resources on personal development for emerging leaders. Recently, Clay has gone through a major shift in his life that we talk about on the podcast where he resigned from his role of Lead Pastor at a North Point campus to pursue a career in writing and speaking. Clay originally graduated from Georgia Tech as an Industrial Engineer and then spent 20 years serving the local church.

Clay and I talk about  the liminal space he is currently in, how to keep your soul sane in a season of change, and what things are looking like for his future. He has written three books including How to Lead in a World of Distraction and How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge. Clay is a mastermind at taking what is typically only written for the head of the company or the primary leader of an organisation and making it applicable to everyone. 

Clay also has a new book that just came out on January 11th called The Aspiring Leader’s Guide to the Future: 9 Surprising Ways Leadership is Changing. Clay addresses topics such as vulnerability being a strength, how to perceive and embrace failure, how to build and gain trust, and how to not only brace for change, but embrace it as well.

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Well, today on the podcast we are doing something a little bit different than we would usually do. Part of what I do beyond recording podcasts is coaching leaders through various exercises that help them to reach their goals without losing their souls. My friend Sidhara Udalagama was kind enough to let me facilitate one of these exercises for her called a Life Manifesto. A life manifesto is the exercise of prayer and thought to develop wording around how you want to live your one and only life. I thought that since we are approaching a new year when most of us typically evaluate and set goals for the next 365 days that this would be a great exercise to share with you. 

My friend Sid is an amazing speaker, creative and corporate consultant. Sid grew up in Sri Lanka but spent her adult years in England working in full time ministry after graduating with an MSc in Occupational Psychology.  Sid is currently working with Compassion Australia which is a fantastic organisation and you will hear more about her work shortly.

Sid is passionate about people fulfilling their God given potential in this world and becoming all that they were created to be. Both her roles in the church and corporate world enable her to outwork this passion. She is a powerful and gifted communicator of God’s Word and loves that the Bible has the power to change lives.

Sidhara is married to her husband Dev and enjoys eating, traveling the world and repeating those two things... preferably together.

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Today is a very special edition of the podcast just in time for the holidays. Maybe you are already feeling stressed about the holiday season...maybe you feel tension with family members, anxiety about travelings, or pressure to get someone the perfect gift. But what would happen if we prioritized our soul during the holiday season and that allowed us to love others well? Today my good friend Duncan Banks took over the hosting mic to interview me about soul care during the holidays. I hope that this episode blessed you and those you come into contact with this season.

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Well today, I am excited to introduce you to John Finkelde.

John pastored at C3 Church Hepburn Heights in Perth Western Australia for 30 years.  Now before you get nervous, if you are not a church leader, everything that John shares in this conversation is relevant to leading a business, school, not for profit, any organisation, so stick around!

In 2012 John launched Grow a Healthy Church, a consulting and coaching ministry for churches and pastors around the globe. Since then John has conducted over 140 on-site consults in 10 different church movements in Australia, NZ, UK and Europe.

John has two aims when consulting with an organisation.

 1. Clarity - John brings clear and proven next steps that will improve an organisations health.

 2. Boost - John understands the pressures of leadership and seeks to boost the hope and courage of leaders.

John has been married to Dianne for 42 years, with two married children and four glorious grandsons. In his spare time John loves shooting things (photography that is), thrashing around in the surf, playing his guitar and watching sport.

John has written 6 books, has an MA (Lead) and a Diploma in Professional Coaching. His most recent resource, which is a main topic of our conversation today, is 27 Ways to Build a Leadership Pipeline which I believe can be so beneficial to leaders who are trying to equip other leaders.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend, John Finkelde…

Well today, I am excited to introduce you to Steve Carter.

Steve recently released an amazing book I have had the privilege of reading, “The Thing Beneath the Thing: What’s Hidden Inside and What God Helps Us Do About it”. This book was designed to “helps readers to identify and then heal from past wounds that have kept them from reaching their full potential and the life of freedom that Jesus has promised every believer”. This is a large topic for our conversation today, and we will certainly link all of Steve’s resources for you in the show notes as well.

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Well today, I am excited to introduce you to Clay Cooney. Clay is from the metro Atlanta, GA area. He grew up in an incredible family with two loving parents and three younger brothers. Clay’s father is a real estate attorney and his mum is a stay at home mum. Clay majored in Economics and thought he wanted to be a lawyer like his dad for most of his life, but had a change of heart during his last year of university.  

After graduation, he went to work for a non-profit organization called Lighthouse Family  Retreat, where families dealing with childhood cancer come to the beach for a week long getaway. After coming back to Atlanta where he had accepted a job doing commercial title insurance and he became involved in a new church plant that was just getting started in his hometown. He spent about one year working for a consulting firm in the  Atlanta area and started a small business called Be At Ease Co. before making the  decision to pursue ministry full time. 

Clay joined the North Point Residency Program, where he had the opportunity to work for North Point Community Church and attend Dallas Theological Seminary simultaneously. He has been working on his Masters of Theology  degree and is currently the Director of Young Adults at North Point. The young adults is a new ministry that is being built in the Alpharetta area for adults in their 20’s. Clay also met his (now) wife in the residency program and got married last year in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. It was a crazy year, but they have loved getting to be married.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend, Clay Cooney…

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Today on the podcast is someone that I greatly admire, who has helped shape me, and really has been a foundational part of the reason I started this podcast. My guest today is the Soul Care legend himself, Pete Scazzero. 

I first came across Pete’s work through his book the Emotionally Healthy Leader.  Since then I have been through the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Relationships content, I’ve been a part of some leadership cohorts with Pete and ultimately it has shaped much of my experience in this area of Soul Care. When I first came across his work, I was very unhealthy emotionally and although I am still a novice in this space God has used it to literally transform my life.  Well for those of you who are not as familiar with Pete Scazzero let me introduce him to you.

Pete lead New Life Fellowship Church for 26 years in Queens NY where they are still members. He also co-founded Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, which is a phenomenal program that I highly recommend. Emotionally Healthy Discipleship is a groundbreaking ministry that moves the church forward by slowing the church down in order to multiply deeply changed leaders and disciples.

Pete hosts the top-ranked Emotionally Healthy Leader podcast and is the author of a number of bestselling books, including The Emotionally Healthy Leader and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. Pete and his wife Geri also developed The Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course (Part 1 and 2), a powerful resource that moves people from a shallow to a deep relationship with Jesus.    

I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend, Pete Scazzero…

Welcome back to Perko's Podcast!

Today on the podcast is someone that I greatly admire, who has helped shape me, and really has been a foundational part of the reason I started this podcast. My guest today is the Soul Care legend himself, Pete Scazzero. 

I first came across Pete’s work through his book the Emotionally Healthy Leader.  Since then I have been through the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Relationships content, I’ve been a part of some leadership cohorts with Pete and ultimately it has shaped much of my experience in this area of Soul Care. When I first came across his work, I was very unhealthy emotionally and although I am still a novice in this space God has used it to literally transform my life.  Well for those of you who are not as familiar with Pete Scazzero let me introduce him to you.

Pete lead New Life Fellowship Church for 26 years in Queens NY where they are still members. He also co-founded Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, which is a phenomenal program that I highly recommend. Emotionally Healthy Discipleship is a groundbreaking ministry that moves the church forward by slowing the church down in order to multiply deeply changed leaders and disciples.

Pete hosts the top-ranked Emotionally Healthy Leader podcast and is the author of a number of bestselling books, including The Emotionally Healthy Leader and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. Pete and his wife Geri also developed The Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course (Part 1 and 2), a powerful resource that moves people from a shallow to a deep relationship with Jesus.    

I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend, Pete Scazzero…
