hi friends! I’m Kristi.
I am an author, speaker and coach. I love Jesus! He called me when I was seven at Vacation Bible School, and I’ve never looked back. I can’t imagine where I might be if Christ wasn’t guiding my footsteps and defining my identity daily.
But for so much of my life I responded to the world out of a desire to be valued and wanting to belong. I let the people determine my worth which affected my life, my leadership, and how I interacted with others. But when I began to understand that only Jesus defines me, I began to encounter and engage life completely differently. Only Jesus truly defines you too! And I would love to discover the freedom and joy that comes when you find your identity in Jesus too.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
