Meet Krista
Krista is an empty-nester mom of four, a woman of prayer with a prophetic gift, a preacher of God’s word, a Bible teacher, and an author. After experiencing an unexpected season that intersected with midlife, Krista became passionate about equipping women to navigate change well. Krista ministers to women navigating the ever-changing season of life on her growing YouTube podcast and weekly email newsletter.
Krista co-leads the women’s ministry at The Rock Church San Diego, City Heights Campus, where she’s been a member for three years. She led the women’s and prayer ministries for over a decade at her former church, where she was a member for twenty-two years, and was ordained into ministry as an evangelist and preacher of the gospel.
Krista is an IT Manager for a large San Diego, CA organization, where she lives close to her children. Krista received a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Southern California Seminary in 2008. In 2010, she received the San Diego Christian Writers Guild Nancy Bayless Award for Best Up and Coming Author for her debut self-published book, Surrendered Balance Daily Living for the Modern Christian Woman. She has since written two more self-published books and three YouVersion reading plans.
Krista believes that truth and transparency transform lives. Therefore, she ministers with a solid Biblical truth, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the power of testimony.
A season is a span of time with a person, in a place, or doing a thing that marks your life and adds new chapters to your story.
