My Teen is Depressed, and Midnight Mercies: Hope for the Dark Hours of Motherhood (forthcoming with P&R Publishing in fall 2021.) Her writing has been featured at websites such as Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, Risen Motherhood, and other Christian platforms.

In addition to her writing ministry, she works for the Institute of Biblical Counseling & Discipleship as the organization's Outreach Director and Podcast Host. Christine has completed certificates in Biblical Counseling through IBCD and is presently in the supervision phase of certification through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC). She is passionate about advocating for biblical one-another care and discipleship in the local church.

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.

Christine and her husband, Brett, were married in 2003 and currently reside in South Carolina with their three children. They are members of Trinity Point Church in Easley, SC. To learn more about speaking/event booking, please click here.

Audience Reviews
"Christine is not only a solid, loving voice that is needed both inside and outside the church, but a beautifully honest, transparent, and faithful woman with tremendous insight."
"I've been following Christine for many years now and I don't want to miss one single thing that she writes. Both her articles and her books are rich with life wisdom and Biblical wisdom. And she puts the two together fantastically while being so vulnerable about her own life."
"Christine’s writing really speaks to me. I can tell she writes from the perspective of someone who has been there. The thing I appreciate the most is that her writing is so biblically-based. It is full of scripture and hope. Could not recommend her more."
"Christine takes us right to the source of living water and she doesn’t just say 'there it is now go drink up'...but she takes the time to first, make sure we know how desperate our thirst is, then she takes the time to really show us how to drink and how to trust the promise that Jesus and only Jesus can satisfy the deepest longing of our messy hearts."
"Christine has such a wonderful way of putting into words what most of us moms feel on a daily basis, and her willingness to open up about her daily struggles is such a rare and beautiful thing that more of us moms need."
"Christine understands how it feels to be a mom who falls short of her own expectations yet remembers to fall back on God’s grace to handle what comes each day."


"Christine paints a picture of everyday moments we have all faced and fills them with God glorifying truths leading us back to the word and the cross."

Statement of Faith: Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. I believe in one holy catholic* and apostolic church. I affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.

*That is, the true Christian church of all times and all places. Read: universal.
