Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith

Christian Living

“Many Christ followers misunderstand or are afraid of their ‘negative’ emotions. Bill and Kristi show us how all our emotions are valuable gifts from God by eloquently intertwining emotional intelligence (EQ) tips, the dynamic Enneagram personality inventory, and the Bible. They make complex spiritual and psychological principles understandable and easily applicable both for your personal transformation and so you can be a healing catalyst for someone else’s growth. I enjoyed the compassionate, transformational therapy and mentoring session Drs. Bill and Kristi blessed me with for my Type 8 struggles.”

Restoring Your Temple

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“A doctor’s expertise is human biology. Being a psychiatrist, I love when physicians use their critical thinking, people-centered gifts to dig past the physical sphere, thus examining the more profound aspect of our design, our PsychoSpiritual Sphere. Dr Hager compassionately pulls the curtain back on this sphere in Chapter 8, ‘Do a Thorough Honest Inventory’, which specifically and practically unpacks, I believe, the most crucial step catalyzing transformation. Even though Apostle Paul walked thru the other steps, he was still stuck on the Romans 7 hamster wheel. A deeper inventory process opens the door to reveal the destructive files of misinformation (columns 3-5) stored in our unconscious mind. Now we are equipped to destroy strongholds by actually taking every thought (not just our conscious ones) captive to the obedience of Christ resulting in true joy, peace, and freedom.”
