Hi! I’m Chrystie.

I am a Bible teacher and writer who brings two decades of ministry experience and my own story of brokenness and redemption to my work.

I started The Wholehearted Project because I want to help you live wholeheartedly, encountering the care of Christ in all that life brings. It’s an invitation to live a truer story, one that embraces the “both-and” of life—the broken and beautiful; the groaning and gratitude. It’s an invitation to live in a world where both doubt and devotion, faith and fear, can co-exist in the life of a believer. It’s an invitation to show up to the world, to yourself, and to God as a sinner, sufferer, and saint in all of your grit and glory.

I recently retired from my role as Women's Discipleship Advisor at a ten-campus church, where I spent thirteen years creating discipleship materials, teaching women the power and hope of the Scriptures, and advising national and international churches on discipleship issues.

In this second half of life, I am committed to creating biblically sound resources that equip you to engage the Scriptures, explore your story, encounter Jesus, and live wholeheartedly. I am also committed to serving the local church through consulting, training, leadership development, and discipleship resources, equipping them to better care for and serve God’s people.

Whether you are looking to grow personally in your faith or you desire support for your church or organization, I want to serve you.

As a fifty-year-old empty-nester, I am a wife to an adventurous man and stepmom to an adult son who is forging a life of his own. When I'm not working, you can find me engaged in deep conversation with friends, relishing a good cup of coffee, snorting over dad jokes, buried in a good book, snuggling my pup, or researching something just for the fun of it.
