Christy has a word for the entire body of Christ. We will not be whole until this word is heard throughout the body!

Pastor of Integrity’s Voice of Victory Church

Christy is deep, insightful and gets to the heart and truth in situations, life and scripture. As a speaker, she draws listeners into her story with a balance of wit and drama. Then, she imparts truth upon truth straight from scripture about how the Lord has taught her and brought her out of the dark and into the light. She is relatable, approachable and passionate about women becoming free from the bondage of sin and into the freedom of Christ. When Christy prays, the Spirit of the Lord is present, powerful and hearts are impacted.

susan hollingsworth2 Christy has an amazing story to share and an eloquent way of presenting it. She uses visual props to engage the audience, which really helps the message stick in their curious minds. Her story is beyond inspiring and moves the audience to rethink their relationships-their relationships with others, their relationships with themselves, and their relationship with an ever-forgiving God.

Writing Awards

I was the kid in school that cringed at the thought of giving a book report in front of the class. I was the awkward, insecure, approval-seeker who needed constant reassurance. So, to me, these awards are an ever-present reminder that God is able to take the least in us and show off His greatness.

Isaiah 61:4 says that, “they shall become oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His spendor.”

A display of splendor has always made me think of a trophy case, a place where the works of the Lord are attractively presented.I’m not the bragging type. I hate to draw attention to myself. On the other hand, I find it easy to boast in the Lord!

He has done amazing and marvelous things in my life and I only want Him to get credit for what He has done.

In 2009 I received an award for Best Devotional at the North Texas Christian Writers Conference held in September at Crosstimbers Community Church in Keller, Texas.

In 2009 I was also selected as a finalist in the Writers Digest Red Heart Black Heart Contest. My humorous piece, Male Order Delivery, appears in their compliation book.

In 2008 I was honored with two writing awards:Writer of the Year at the American Christian Writers conference in February 2008Best Non-fiction Book (2nd place) at the North Texas Christian Writers conference in September 2008.

To God be all the glory. He makes misfits mighty!
