241 || What Is Soul Care and How to Know If You Need It || Mindy Caliguire

What can you do to intentionally place yourself in God’s good care?

IF YOUR SOUL IS WEARY FOR WHATEVER REASON, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

Mindy Caliguire is President/Co-Founder of Soul Care, a spiritual formation ministry dedicated to increasing soul health in the Body of Christ.

In this episode Mindy shares about a dream that’s been on her heart for decades, the shape it’s taken over the years, and where she finds herself in it right now.

We also talk about:

  • How soul care differs from self-care and why both are important

  • How to step into a dream in small ways rather than waiting for clarity on the whole thing before you begin, and

  • Specific soul care practices you can take with you and implement once this episode is through.

It struck me when Mindy said, “If your soul is doing well or not so well, it will show up in the rest of your life.” That statement alone can and should inform the manner in which we pursue (or rest from) a God-shaped dream.

Scripture:

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord,
for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and
stood at the mouth of the cave.

Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

1 Kings 19:11-13 (NIV)
