There Is Hope in Jesus Christ.
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, and although I trust God, I still experience struggles; struggling does not mean God has abandoned us, but can become a 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. He also used two important men in my journey: my husband, Joseph Johnson, who passed away in 2024 and helped lead me to salvation and encouraged my relationship with Christ, and Pastor Joseph Pedroza, who challenged me to read the New Testament and helped begin a transformation in how I understood God.
Along with these experiences, my theological education—including my current pursuit of a Doctor of Christian Leadership with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation—helps me teach God’s Word carefully and faithfully. One question now guides my life, ministry, and writing: What Did Jesus Do? By studying how Jesus loved, taught, forgave, served, prayed, suffered, welcomed the rejected, and walked alongside the broken, we discover the heart of God and a pattern for faithful discipleship. God has taken my story of pain, rejection, abuse, grief, and restoration and, by His grace, is using it for a ministry of compassion, hope, biblical teaching, and discipleship.
My desire through Servant of God Christie is to point others to Jesus Christ and help them recognize God’s truth rather than believe the lies that have shaped how they see themselves. Whether you are taking your first step toward Jesus or have walked with Him for many years, my prayer is that these resources help you know Him more deeply, understand what He did, follow Him more faithfully, and experience His transforming work in your life—remembering 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, and He is still writing your story.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
- Psalm 147:3
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28

Every chapter of my story is ultimately a testimony of God's faithfulness.
He has never abandoned me, even in seasons when I could not see His hand. Through every trial, every lesson, every season of growth, and every step of obedience, He has continued writing a story that brings glory to Him alone.
My prayer is that as you explore these pages, you will be reminded that God is still writing your story as well. No matter where you have been or what you are facing today, His grace is greater, His promises remain true, and His plans for your life are filled with hope.
