The power of story has hallmarked Christian’s life. An Arkansas native and the daughter of a preacher and a painter, she loves to sit and listen to the stories of peoples’ lives, tracing the power and presence of God. She graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and then spent several years as a special needs preschool teacher before heading to Texas to attend Dallas Theological Seminary where she earned a Master’s of Theology, with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation. Christian is passionate about equipping women to own their place within the body of Christ through rootedness in Scripture, intentional relationships that sharpen them as image bearers, and service to the church and to the city. When she isn’t conversing over coffee, she enjoys writing, films, and laughter.
