Most noted for her enthusiastic style of communicating profound messages of hope and inspiration, she invigorates anyone who hears the compassion in her voice. Chris has a heart for reaching the lost, strengthening leaders, championing the cause of justice and building the local church.
A Strong Foundation
Behind Chris’ passionate faith in Christ is her own story of being adopted at birth. She went through most of her youngadult life not even knowing. When the truth was revealed, Chris didn’t respond as if she had been unwanted or born without a purpose. No, she knew that her strong faith in Jesus Christ was her foundation and that she was created with an identity in Him, no matter what her earthly situation had been. Watchthis video of her testimony. [link to equipandempower.org]
The truth of who she is in Christ fuels Chris’ message of hope to others who are struggling to find their purpose or those who may be hurting from life’s circumstances.
