When You Know God Loves You But Still Can't Feel It
Knowing the answer and experiencing the answer are not always the same thing. Let's talk about what may be happening underneath.

When the truth you know becomes the life you actually live
I spent years loving Jesus while quietly wondering why His promised love, joy, and peace still felt so far away.
I read Scripture. I prayed. I served. I led Bible studies. I kept trying to become the Christian woman I thought I was supposed to be.
And still, there were places inside me where the truth I could explain beautifully had not become personally true.
That question eventually became one of the defining questions of my life: Where's the Disconnect?
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
Hello, Friend
I'm Christina.
I'm an author, missionary, teacher, mother, grandmother, and biblical transformation coach who has spent more than twenty-five years following Jesus and asking some very honest questions along the way.
I know what it is to love God, know Scripture, serve faithfully, and still feel angry, ashamed, exhausted, or strangely distant from the very love you're telling everyone else about.
I wasn't looking for another Christian answer.
I needed to know how.
How does truth move from your head into your actual life? How do you receive God's love when part of you still believes you're unlovable? How do you stop working to be loved and finally begin living from the truth that you already are?
Those questions shaped my writing, my coaching, my ministry, and much of the work I share here.
The Book · Coming Soon
Miserable Christian
Saved But Not Satisfied?
For the Christian woman who knows what she's supposed to believe but still wonders why her everyday life doesn't feel much like love, joy, and peace.
This book grew from more than twenty years of asking God one question: Where's the Disconnect between what I know is true and what I'm actually experiencing?
It is the story of what He began showing me, one revelation, one lie, and one act of faith at a time.
What I Write About
Truth that moves beyond the page
I care about the places where faith meets actual life, especially the places where we know the right answer and still struggle to live as though it's true.
Identity & Biblical Transformation
What changes when who God says you are becomes more authoritative than shame, failure, fear, history, or the voice inside your own head?
Knowing God as Father
Moving beyond knowing facts about God and learning to live as a wanted, known, loved child who can actually run to Him.
Renewing the Mind
Bringing Scripture into conversation with thoughts, emotions, psychology, neuroscience, habits, and the practical work of learning to believe truth personally.
Faith, Calling & Real Life
Obedience, disappointment, motherhood, relationships, rebuilding, failure, courage, and following God when the path doesn't look anything like you expected.
The Question Behind Much of My Work
Where's the Disconnect?
You can know Scripture, love Jesus, and sincerely believe God is good while still carrying beliefs about yourself that contradict everything He says.
Much of my work begins with three questions.
Who is God?
Who does He say I am?
Who do I say I am?
The Disconnect begins to show itself wherever the truth of the second answer and the lived belief of the third one disagree.
From Living Loved
Let's talk about the places we usually avoid
Faith, identity, Scripture, emotional health, relationships, transformation, and the messy middle between knowing the truth and learning to live from it.
Are You Working From Love or Working for Love?
Spiritual discipline can grow from intimacy, or quietly become an attempt to earn what God already gave you.

Feelings are not automatically the enemy, and they are not automatically the truth. They are telling you something deserves attention.

Fix the Disconnect
You may already know what God says.
The question is whether those truths have become personally believable enough to change the way you see yourself, respond to life, receive His love, and relate to the people closest to you.
Fix the Disconnect is my eight-week biblical transformation coaching program for Christian women ready to uncover what is underneath the struggle and begin bringing those beliefs back into agreement with truth.
This isn't another list of things you should be doing.
We start by getting honest about what is actually happening underneath the emotions, patterns, and reactions you keep trying to fix.
- Reveal the belief underneath the struggle.
- Compare it with the truth of who God is and who He says you are.
- Receive that truth personally instead of leaving it as information.
- Practice remaining in truth when old patterns push back.
A Little Truth for Your Day
Pull up a chair.
Sometimes you don't need another hour-long teaching. You need one truth to carry into an ordinary Tuesday.
