Christine M. Chappell is a wife, mother of three, the author of Clean Home, Messy Heart: Promises of Renewal, Hope, and Change for Overwhelmed Moms, and the host of IBCD's Hope + Help Podcast.
Christine's newest title, Help! My Teen is Depressed is a contribution to the LifeLine Mini-Book series published by Shepherd Press and is forthcoming Spring 2020.
She has completed certificates in Biblical Counseling through the Institute of Biblical Counseling and Discipleship (IBCD) and is presently in the process of obtaining certification through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC).
Her writing has been featured at websites such as Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, Risen Motherhood, Servants of Grace, Devotable, and served two years as a contributing writer at Thrive Moms. Christine has previously served the local church as a communications lead, equip women's workshop developer and teacher, women's conference speaker, and leadership team member. She has also volunteered as a Care Coach for JC Cares, a local non-profit that offers free biblical counseling services to the economically disadvantaged in her community.
Christine is passionate about advocating for biblical one-another care and discipleship in the local church. Her heart for ministry stems from being previously treated for bipolar disorder II, depression, panic attacks, disordered eating, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors.
At the age of 28, two weeks after her father passed away from cancer, the grace of God took hold of her heart and she was converted from atheism to become an eager disciple of Jesus Christ. Part of Christine's life story includes two hospitalizations at mental health institutions: one as a teenager and the other as a devoted follower of Christ. By God's sovereign design, these experiences fuel the compassion and sympathy that motivates Christine's work.
She presently resides in South Carolina with her husband of 16 years and their three children and is a member of Trinity Point Church.
