Let me level with you. There's a reason it's not working. And the reason it's not working is that you keep trying in your strength.
But let’s be honest...
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?????!!!!
Don’t worry. I got you.
IT’S TIME.
I have been called a challenger, go-getter, competitive, extraordinary leader, a leader of leaders, highly marketable; in a word—talent. I was even nicknamed Special Ops because I had a way of systemizing processes and teams to drive high levels of success. Failure was NEVER my MO.
Until it suddenly was.
Crash and burn. And burn some more.
From a dedicated and intense Bible study and prayer time for over a decade, fully chasing after Jesus while serving in full-time vocational ministry, and leading the growth of some of the fastest-growing churches in America…
To a nervous breakdown, anxiety attacks that lasted for days, major scale depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, PTSD, and dysphoric disorder.
Yep. That was me.
I GET IT.
There’s nothing like going from the one people said could do anything to the one who sincerely wondered whether her family was better off if she was in an institution.
It took me another decade to pull out of it. And the one thing I came to realize was the thing no one ever tells you.
And the same thing that got me unstuck is the same thing that will get you out of that stuck place or over that habit you can’t seem to kick.
That place of wanting to do something but not doing it. Or not doing something even though you want to do it.
Being stuck in what feels like quicksand. Trying all the things and even knowing all the things but for whatever reason you just can’t seem to get yourself to actually go and do it!
But the answer is not what you think it is.
Each of us started our race being saved by GRACE through faith. Why are we trying to finish the race different from how we started it?
It’s not more prayer and devotion.
It’s not more Bible study and scripture memorization.
It’s not more sacrifice or service.
It’s not more forgiveness or begging God to take it away.
It’s not the next book by the latest and greatest Christian author.
It’s not another conference or a new church or a 12-step program.
this answer is GRACE
Yep.
It’s not that all the other things you’ve tried aren’t helpful.
BUT… and it’s a BIG BUT…
The same thing that freed you from the world’s system and brought you into the Kingdom is the same thing that will get you out of your most life-controlling problems.
"…After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?" Galatians 3:3
here’s what GRACE is NOT…
It’s true that we are saved by grace through faith. But being saved doesn’t just mean you get the free pass into Heaven.
Saved means saved, healed, delivered, prospered, protected, and made whole.
Sadly, most Christians never overcome their most life-controlling issues.
The only way to overcome that thing you haven’t been able to overcome is by grace. And grace can only be taken hold of when we stop trying in our own strength.
But HOW?
overcome any problem without white-knuckling it
Willpower fails because it’s your human will you keep trying to empower. Learn how to activate God’s power that never fails.
learn how to recognize when you are operating in your own strength
Get a practical definition of what it means to operate in your strength and how to recognize when you’re doing it so you can stop doing it!
discover for the first time how to use the keys to the kingdom
Jesus gave us the Keys to the Kingdom, but most Christians have no idea what the Kingdom of Heaven is or how to use their keys!
stop neutralizing grace and start activating it
The apostle Paul said he doesn’t neutralize or frustrate grace in his life. We all have God’s grace in us, but we can make it of no effect in our lives’. Its not up to God to activate it for us!
get the tools to start coming out of depression and oppression
Jesus wanted this to be easy and light for you. We are the ones who choose the harder route. You can walk right out of that habit, addiction, or self-defeating cycle you’ve been repeating for years.
create your own reality where YOU get to win like God intended
The bottom line is this: God told the Israelites they “limited the Holy One of Israel.” (Ps. 78:41). Sadly, the organized church taught most of us to do exactly what God told the Israelites NOT to do! You will learn how to stop limiting God and start experiencing unlimited possibilities.
TO PUT IT BLUNTLY…
this challenge is short on willpower and behavior modification and long on
supernatural empowerment.
hi. I’M CHRISTY.
It’s lovely to meet you. 💙 In a nutshell…
I have over 25 years of study in theology. It’s a favorite pass time.
I served in full-time vocational ministry as an Operations Director and Campus Expansion Manager for over 10 years.
I am a certified Organizational Leadership Trainer, Coach, Public Speaker, and Event Planner.
I studied Interior Design at the Art Institute and do a little house and glamper renovating in my free time. ;). I am an award-winning Interior Designer and Multi-million Dollar Real Estate Agent.
I am President of a K-8 Charter School.
And I travel nationwide working with some of the most high-level female leaders as National Chapter Director for the Independent Women’s Network.
So I’ve done some stuff. But the story behind the story is…
I was born with a genetic mutation called MTHFR (could they have chosen a worse acronym???) that predisposes me to depression, chronic fatigue, ADHD, fibromyalgia, and miscarriage (I have twins in heaven 💞).
I suffered a brain injury as a young child that damaged my hypothalamus—that thing inside your brain that connects your endocrine and nervous systems and keeps your body in a stable state of homeostasis. Basically, my body didn’t want to maintain a stable weight or temperature, my growth was stunted (I am 5'-2” on a good hair day), and my eyesight became significantly diminished at an early age.
The brain injury, along with other significant trauma, left me in a state of chronic fight or flight and a relentless battle with severe depression, PTSD, and PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder).
So I was a bit of a mess. And it took me years to untangle what I thought was the real me.
But the greatest healing I experienced didn’t come from heavy medication, counseling or therapy, overcoming addiction, religion, or a life of self-sacrifice.
It came from understanding GRACE.
The Bible says the grace of God is manifold. That means there are multiple dimensions of grace. We tend to only familiarize ourselves with the dimension of grace as unmerited favor.
But grace is so much more!
grace is SHEAR. RAW. POWER.
So let me ask you this…
ARE YOU READY TO START WINNING?

Downloadable 21-Day Grace Tracker with my Daily Decide and Declare Guide.
Job 22:28 says, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” When we decree a thing, the way and the how is supposed to show up!
But why doesn’t that seem to work for most people? The Hebrew word for decree is גָּזַר gâzar. It means to divide, exclude, or decide. We spend most of our lives wavering between two opinions. The book of James tells us if we waver we should not expect to receive anything from God (James 1:6)!
In 21 days, you are going to move from decreeing without a firmly rooted, quality decision based on the Word of God to DECIDING what outcome you will accept and declaring you are IMMOVABLE about it. An unwavering decision with immovable faith will cause GRACE to come forward in you to EMPOWER you to finally do the thing!!!

“I have a better understanding of grace, righteousness, and the true nature of God that I have never learned in all my years in church. I have learned that so much of what I learned as a child is works and not relationship. The biggest thing I have changed in my life is how to take personal responsibility to change my mind about myself and that has changed how I see my relationship with God.”
