Lisa B. Taylor, D.Min, is a soul work practitioner who loves to connect with people soul to soul around stories, thereby creating sacred spaces for people to be seen, heard, and known. She is passionate about equipping people with the tools they need to face adversity like a champion, to excel and live life to the fullest, to maximize their potential, to unapologetically be who they were created to be, and to do the work their souls must have. Her dissertation, “Soul Work and the Transformative Process in CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education)” addresses the importance of soul work in transformation and learning in CPE as a means of educating and equipping pastoral/spiritual care providers and leaders so that they are more self-aware, emotionally intelligent, spiritually intelligent, authentic, and more effective in their ministry praxis.

Dr. Taylor has had various career opportunities and entrepreneurial endeavors, along with 30 years’ experience in ministry and ministry leadership, which includes ordination in the nondenominational church and in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, where she is an Itinerant Elder and ecclesiastically endorsed. She is the mother of three adult children and the grandmother of five grandchildren, who affectionately call her Lovie.
