Soulation has been many years in the making. With so many interested in “soul talk” these days, it was our desire to give some meaning to the ongoing cultural conversations ... To inform real life, shape the soul, a vision wide enough to invite others into.


our mission Leading spiritual, intellectual and creative explorers to reflect Jesus Christ and flourish as more fully human.



our vision Soulation's vision is to transform the Church into a place of authentic spiritual growth, rejuvenating imagination, intellectual clarity and biblical literacy, while showing skeptics, atheists and spiritualists that Jesus best integrates all areas of human life into a meaningful relationship with God. Soulation aims to resuscitate Christianity's roots as a powerful cultural force.










tools -

When we filed to trademark our logo with the government, we had to choose between "ministerial services" and "personal life coaching." Frankly, we don’t know the difference.

We think life doesn't fit into tidy compartments. We use many different tools to communicate to our audiences of all different ages: theology, imagination, philosophy, apologetics, history, cultural analysis, ethics, the arts, literature, life experience, and relationships.

We have a hard time separating Soulation's work into compartments when it comes right down to building a soul. So we don't separate them. We use them all as much as we can. And with our education, background, and experience, it only makes sense.

If you ask us if we are history people or theology people or arts people, we'll just say, "Yes." We're sure you'll understand.

topics -

We speak on topics that aim at helping people be appropriately human - body and soul.

To get an idea, check out our books, Living with Questions, Ruby Slippers, and Coffee Shop Conversations.

Or browse our library by topic.

Or see what our community is talking about at PositivelyHuman.org, BreakfastReading.com and RubySlippers.org.

If you have your own faith questions, go to MyFaithHurdle.com or make an appointment for a conversation at Ask! LIVE.

Soulation's topics will equip you to bear God's image boldly and freely in this world, inviting others to join you in the journey.

creed -

We are interested in building up community, not building up walls. Navigating today's culture, rejuvenating the Church, and giving skeptics a legitimate look at Jesus means we avoid the controversies, divisions, and tribalism that has become trademarks of some Christian areas, so that we may focus on the most essential things: helping people be more appropriately human and discover what is good, truth and beautiful under God's sky. And we think Jesus is the source of this new kind of life. We follow what C. S. Lewis called "mere Christianity." If you haven't read his book by that title, we recommend it.


Soulation’s Story

In the summer of 2004, during a road trip across the USA, we stopped in a little cafe in Washington D.C. and brainstormed a winsome name for soul work, the word we landed on was 'Soulation.' We were already speaking and writing, and felt comfortable in our careers. But the opportunity opened only a year later to launch.

Soulation is led by the husband and wife team of Dale and Jonalyn Fincher who reside in Steamboat, Colorado. Dale & Jonalyn often co-teach at various venues. In some more conservative places, controvery arises over the issue of women speaking. To that end, this article was created: Unmuted.
