I’m so glad you’re here! If I’ve learned anything in two decades of ministry, it is this: there is room for you—every part of you—at Jesus’ table.

He invites you to come with your joy and sorrow, devotion and doubt, sin and suffering, beauty and brokenness. I have faced my share of challenges in life, from hopeless addiction to unexpected encounters with the grace of Jesus.

As a wounded healer, I invite you to join me on the journey toward wholeheartedness to encounter and enjoy the transformative love of Jesus.

Testimonials

“Acknowledging that we are all sexually broken in one way or another, Redeeming Sexuality gently guides women to name what has been broken, lament, repent when necessary, and find rest in our God who not only wants to heal us but also restore beauty in the area of sex. Redeeming Sexuality offers a gospel vision for all women and reminds us that, in Christ, we are embraced by the perfect One who is redeeming all things. Praise God.”

- Shannon Basso, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of BECOMING

“Redeeming Sexuality is a must-read. No matter what your story is, you’ll find yourself in its pages. It is grounded in solid theology but filled with the vulnerable honesty of the author and a number of women who also share their stories. I went through it with a group of women and later with a client in counseling, and it was life-changing both times.”

- Kelly B., Amazon Customer

“‘We cannot finish the Great Commission without words’ may be my favorite statement from A Woman’s Words. This book does an incredible job of showing how inviting and investing in others takes not only our actions but also our speech. How else are we to evangelize, edify, encourage, and educate others in God’s truth? As I read Chrystie’s fantastic book, I found myself evaluating my own speech and considering how I use my words to point those around me to Christ. I pray that you have the same experience.”

- Kandi Gallaty, author of Disciple Her
