Ep 30: Stages of Faith, Dreams. and Devotion

For over four decades, Troy Caldwell has been a shepherd of souls. From 1981 through August of 2000, he practiced this shepherding in the North Texas area as a full-time psychiatrist. While practicing, he learned much though his role as a psychotherapist and medical healer.  In addition he was privileged to study and ultimately teach the ancient traditions of soul work of spiritual direction. Then, in 2000, he reduced his psychiatry schedule to part-time in order to focus more of his attention on those seeking  spiritual direction. Though retired now from psychiatry, he continues to walk with souls though the practice of spiritual direction.

In this episode, we learn about Troy’s Southern Baptist roots and mother providing him a genuine faith foundation as well as the specific moment in church at 18 when Troy says he experienced what he named a locution, or intuitive knowing, where he felt God asking for complete devotion. This moment set him on his lifelong journey of soul discovery and faith.

Troy shares his knowledge and passion around dreamwork, stages of faith and archetypes. This tender conversation is filled with humor, wisdom and the realities and intricies of walking with God and serving others for more than six decades.
