Website Update
Website Update — New Ways to Connect
Thank you for your patience while I worked through some technical issues with the website. I apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused.
The website has been updated, and all buttons and links should now be working properly. If you find a button or link that does not work or does not take you to the correct place, please let me know so I can correct it.
New Ways to Connect
There are now two ways to connect with me directly through the website:
Chat with Us — Look for the “Chat with Us” button in the bottom-right corner of the website. You can use it to ask questions, get help finding resources, share your story, or share a praise report about what God has done in your life. Your message will come to me through the website.
WhatsApp — You can also connect with me directly through WhatsApp:
-
On the Join the Discussion page, click the “Join the Discussion” button.
-
On the Share Your Story/Testimony page, click the “Share Your Testimony” button.
-
Both of these buttons will take you directly to my WhatsApp, where you can send me a message.
I am normally available at my computer from 10:00 AM–10:00 PM Mountain Time, and I will respond as quickly as I am able. You are still welcome to leave a message outside these hours, and I will respond when I am available.
I hope these updates make it easier for you to connect, ask questions, find resources, share your story, or simply tell me about something God has done in your life.
Thank you again for your patience as I continue working to make this website a welcoming and helpful place for you to grow in Christ and connect with others.
I know what it is like to carry deep wounds, painful memories, rejection, childhood abuse, grief, and years of believing lies about my worth and identity. I trust God, but I still experience struggles. Struggling does not mean that God has abandoned us. Often, it becomes the very place where He draws us closer, teaches us to depend on Him, and reveals His truth more deeply.
God has prepared me for this ministry through personal suffering, healing, biblical study, spiritual formation, and years of learning to follow Jesus through every season of life. My experiences allow me to speak with compassion and honesty, while my theological education helps me teach God’s Word carefully and faithfully. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Christian Leadership with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation, with an anticipated graduation in 2027.
God also used two important men to lead me closer to Him. My husband, Joseph Johnson, who passed away in 2024, helped lead me to salvation and encouraged my relationship with Jesus Christ. Later, Pastor Joseph Pedroza challenged me to read the New Testament and helped begin the process of changing how I understood God. Through their influence, God opened my heart to His Word and began preparing me for the ministry you see today.
My hope is that this website helps you recognize God’s truth instead of believing Satan’s lies. Healing and spiritual growth are not easy, but they are worth every step because Jesus walks with us throughout the journey.
As I study God’s Word, one question continually guides my life, my ministry, and everything I write:
What Did Jesus Do?
When we look at how Jesus loved, taught, forgave, served, prayed, suffered, welcomed the rejected, and walked alongside the broken, we discover both the heart of God and the pattern He calls us to follow. This ministry is built upon studying what Jesus did, understanding what His life and teachings reveal, and applying His example to our own spiritual formation and daily lives.
God never gave up on me. He pursued me, protected me, and patiently led me into the truth of who I am in Jesus Christ. By His grace, He has taken my story of pain, rejection, abuse, grief, and restoration and transformed it into a ministry of compassion, hope, biblical teaching, and discipleship.
My desire is to point others to Jesus Christ—the One who heals the brokenhearted, restores hope, renews our identity, and gives new purpose as his servant of God christie
As you explore this ministry, my prayer is that you will discover that your wounds do not define you, your struggles do not disqualify you, and the lies spoken over your life do not have the final word. God’s truth does. He is still writing your story.
Whether you are taking your first step toward Jesus or have walked with Him for many years, I pray these resources help you know Him more deeply, understand what He did, follow His example more faithfully, and experience His transforming work in your life.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28

Transformed to Serve the Broken Through Jesus Christ
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
- Psalm 147:3
My Story: From Brokenness to God’s Hope
Written immediately following the events of July 19–24, 2026, Continue the Journey is a Bible study series born out of one of the most difficult weeks of my life. As Jesus Christ faithfully met me through His Word, these studies became a record of the Scriptures He used to renew my mind, strengthen my faith, and draw me back to Himself.
My prayer is that as you study these Psalms, you will recognize God’s faithfulness in your own life, grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, and be encouraged to continue your journey with Him.

A Welcome
Thank you for visiting this ministry. It is my sincere prayer that every Bible study, devotional, testimony, article, journal, and resource on this website will encourage you to know Jesus Christ more deeply, grow in your faith, and follow Him faithfully.
Everything shared here has been created as an act of worship and service to the Lord. My desire has always been to make biblical resources available to anyone seeking spiritual growth, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Whenever possible, these resources are provided free of charge because I believe God’s truth should be accessible to everyone.
Although these materials are freely shared, they represent years of prayer, Bible study, ministry experience, personal testimony, formal theological education, and countless hours of research and writing. I simply ask that they be used with honesty, integrity, and respect for the work God has entrusted to this ministry.
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
— Colossians 3:23 (NLT)
