She is passionate about advocating for biblical one-another care and discipleship in the local church. She also is a partner with the Biblical Counseling Coalition.

Christine's heart for ministry stems from being previously treated for bipolar disorder II, depression, panic attacks, disordered eating, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors. By God's sovereign design, these experiences fuel the compassion and sympathy that motivates her ministry work.
