by Mindy Caliguire

Overview

Revive Your Whole Self: Spiritually, Mentally, and Emotionally

Burned out? Exhausted? Feeling isolated and like there’s no end in sight? Find hope, direction, and a path to renewed life. Ignite Your Soul is a lifeline to help you restore your spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being and navigate the complex landscape of soul care within the communities you live and serve in. Whether you seek refreshment for yourself or those you lead, you’ll explore six key practices that lead to whole-self flourishing:

• attention,
• participation,
• delight,
• humility,

• rest.

In December 2021, Mindy and her husband, Jeff, bore witness to a wildfire’s relentless advance on their Colorado property dedicated to spiritual rest and retreat. The devastation of that fire underscored the realization that mirrored the parched reality of many people’s souls. So many of us are exhausted and overwhelmed, and we feel alone, silently struggling with addiction, busyness, distractions, fear, and apathy. Ignite Your Soul walks through the journey from pre-burnout to destruction and the path to healings so that you can walk out of your own ashes and into practices like journaling, prayer, and a rule of life and more, to thrive no matter what you face. Ignite Your Soul is a lifeline to help you restore your spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being within the communities you life and serve in.

Our world desperately needs Christians to live the abundant life Jesus promises. This book is vulnerable and practical about how each of us can move from exhaustion to peace. I recommend it to any leader or friend.

Michael Martin

Many of us may be unknowingly just one small spark away from devastation due to soul neglect. But as Mindy Caliguire reminds us, this is not the way of Jesus. With stories and Scripture, Mindy shows how any leader can become healthier to the point of thriving and lead others to greater Kingdom impact and fruitfulness.

Olusola Osinoiki

Reflecting on her own past reliance on self and relentless striving, Mindy offers valuable lessons and guidance on reconnecting with God and finding renewed hope. Ignite Your Soul demonstrates that embracing surrender and leaning on God will kindle the depths of our souls as we journey forward.

Andrew Clark

Mindy’s wisdom takes us forward into a deeper walk with God to deepen our souls. So grateful for her candor, clarity, and way to see Jesus in the busy world around me.

Casey Tygrett

Mindy’s knowledge of the fast-paced, high-churn world of leadership along with her passion for the redeemed souls of leaders come together in this indispensable resource for recovering the soul of your leadership. This book is well worth your attention, contemplation, and action.

Carolyn Carney

Ignite Your Soul is not an amalgamation of cheery theory and pithiness—this is real life. Caliguire vulnerably opens up the life she has lived and introduces us to the soul care practices that sustain her. (The Soul Care Reflections at the close of each chapter are wisdom worth the price of the book alone!) Soul care is a life lesson we cannot afford to skip.

Margaret Fitzwater

Ignite Your Soul resonates deeply with my own soul, reminding me that its healing and care is crucial to my leadership. I love the invitation to reflection, connection, and interaction. It is the way of life that God invites us into that leads to “life, more and better life than [we] ever dreamed of” (John 10:10, msg).

Trevor Hudson

Few things matter more than the health of our souls. Weaving together honest reflections and the wisdom of Scripture, Mindy Caliguire makes accessible life-giving practices that can open us to the deep peace of God even amid the hardest of times.

Sam Song

Mindy generously shares personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and guided practices to illuminate the path to a flourishing life. Her authentic and vulnerable words help us learn the unforced rhythms of grace and bring to the world the peace of a healthy soul.

Margaret Diddams

Mindy Caliguire’s personal desolation left her no further choice but to accept the long-standing invitation from God to replenish her soul. But as Mindy points out in this compelling book, accepting this gift is not a quick or easy one-time surrender. Mindy shows how age-old Christian practices of delight, silence, and rest, among others, can slow-walk us through the never-ending quest toward spiritual health.
