What does it look like to empower others?   How do I navigate opposition to my leadership, especially as a woman or when the opposition is from more senior leaders? For more from Christine and to check out th...

When we are up against a situation that seems impossible - a setback we don’t see a way around, a financial pit we don’t see a way out of, or a broken relationship we can’t see reconciliation for - choosing to trust God no doubt feels hard, and maybe even uncomfortable. But trusting God, especially in the hard times, is essential for living a life of peace, joy, and purpose. And the good news is t...

Whether we realize it or not, we all search for something or someone to give us what we need. Maybe it’s a sense of significance, security, protection, affirmation, or strength. We may look to money, ambition, self-reliance, or our friend’s approval—whatever we think we fulfill that we need to feel secure and happy. Here’s the problem: anything we turn to for comfort and peace outside of Jesus wil...

What’s your response when the inevitable challenges of life come your way? Is it to run and hide in bitterness and anger? Or is it to face the challenges head on with hope and faith that the God who brought you to it will get you through it? Jesus has already won the victory, but we have to choose whether to live like we believe that. And when we choose to live from victory in the face of setbacks...

Do you remember who first introduced you to Jesus? The person who changed the course of your life by telling you about the One who changed the course of theirs? Oftentimes, we make evangelism way more complicated than we need to. It can be as simple as knowing Jesus and noticing people around us. People we encounter everyday - at work, at school, at the grocery store - are just waiting to be seen....

You were created by your loving Father on purpose and for his divine purpose. He has amazing plans for you at every age and stage of your life. But there can be seasons when we feel like we’re not on track for the best he has for us. We're not where we want to be, we may not have the same passion for our mission, or we’re just straight up confused about what we want. How did we get here? We've dri...

We can all drift in life—away from our hopes, vision, passions, values, intentions, or even God—if we’re not paying attention. The Bible tells us, Pay attention, lest you drift (Hebrews 2:1). Like a rudderless boat at sea, it’s the slow, small changes in the currents that we allow to go unnoticed that can so deceptively sweep us far off our course. Without even realizing it’s happening, we can fin...

Have you ever found yourself in a place in life you hadn't intended to go and then wondered, “How did I end up here?” Maybe you were dealt a setback, felt unsettled about the world, or faced an uncertain future. You knew It’s like you’d drifted off course, but weren’t sure when, why, or what to do about it. Drifting robs us of the energy, vision, and passion we need to move forward with confidence...

In this special bonus episode, Christine answers some of your questions about how to hold onto hope while navigating disappointment. Questions we cover include:  How can we process disappointment in a healthy way? How do you know when to let go and when to keep believing God for something you really want?  As a parent, do you have any tips for leading kids through disappointment? How can I keep le...

You’ve probably heard the saying “no rest for the weary.” Well I’m here to tell you that as believers, that doesn’t have to be true! It is possible to develop an eternally youthful perspective, to avoid being overcome by weariness, and to stay passionate no matter how many trips around the sun you take. The secret is to pay attention to the condition of your heart. As followers of Jesus, we can re...

Does life often feel like you’re stuck on an emotional roller coaster with lots of ups and downs? No matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to find lasting peace and joy? Life does come with challenges, to be sure, but God’s people aren’t meant to live in cycles of feeling fine one minute and weighed down with anxiety, hopelessness, or disappointment the next. When we find ourselves stuck in...

It’s easy to say we are walking by faith when everything in life is smooth sailing. But what happens when you’ve prayed long and hard for something and you don’t get the answer you wanted? You asked God, and you felt sure that he wanted it for you too. Yet you didn’t land that great job, your kids didn’t return to church, the relationship you’ve been working on hasn’t been reconciled. We may feel...

Do you view your faith as a set of rules? A list of obligatory dos and dont’s that guide your life? Or do you view your faith as a relationship? A relationship with a God that is alive, an unshakeable source of hope and strength? The truth is, how we view our faith will impact how we share the amazing, life-changing Good News that we carry. When we see focus on the ways Jesus’s unconditional love...

With the advances of modern technology, we have “more” than ever before. We can travel further and faster than ever before. We can work longer days and access more entertainment from the palm of our hand than ever before. But all of that “more” may be keeping you from your best life, your mission, your purpose, and your peace, because it distracts you from the things that matter most. Jesus knew t...

At one point or another, I’m sure we have all found ourselves waiting on God to do something and thinking that it’s too late. But the good news is: God is never late, he is always right on time. Even when you’ve been waiting on him for what may feel like way too long, you can trust him. You can hold onto hope that he has not forgotten you and that he is working on your behalf. This episode will em...

Has your heart grown a bit weary? Do you feel older on the inside than you are on the outside? Maybe you’re longing to feel joyful and vibrant again. Well good news - this is possible! Feeling young and alive to life is so much more than an external condition - it starts in our hearts. Jesus tells us that when we believe in him, rivers of living water will flow out of our hearts. Connecting oursel...
