Christina King is a national Catholic Speaker with a highly dynamic and interactive style which enables her capture the attention of the audience and inspire them to embrace the beauty of the Catholic faith and God's plan for their lives.  Christina's talks are deeply influenced by Pope John Paul II, The Fatima Message, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, St. Faustina and St. Teresa the Little Flower and the Catechism.
 
 Whether she is speaking on Parenting, Pro-life, Theology of the Body, Femininity, Chastity, Apologetic's, her ability to hold the attention of thousands of teens or thousands of adults by infusing her talks with humor and an authentic, deep love and knowledge of Christ  is apparent.  Using stories from her own life as well as current cultural events, she helps the audience receive the call from God to embrace the greatness within them.  This dignity of the human person is what Christina is passionate about bringing to each and every person she meets.  The passion she has emanates as she shares the word of God and her devotion to the Catholic Church with clarity and enthusiasm. 
  
One Person Can Change The World

Christina's story is one of tragedy to triumph.  From being raised through all forms of abuse to her own teen pregnancy, this daughter of the King realized that God had a plan for her life and that she was made in the image and likeness of God even if those around her told her otherwise.  God revealed to her through the Catholic Church how her yes, one person's yes, can change the face of the world forever.  She went on to learn how the Sacraments of the Catholic Church were weapons as well as conduits of grace necessary to live that “yes” out in today's world and then began traveling around the country sharing this truth to others.  

Christina is a mother of eight children, (yes 8!)  ages 2-21years old and has been married to her husband Shawn (who was raised Jehovah's Witness and is now Catholic) for 18 years.

Christina is founder of Pure Freedom and has been speaking nationally for 15 years and as a Catholic Answers Speaker for over 11 years.

She is the weekly host of “Embracing Your Greatness” a live call in show every Wednesday Radio Maria, based out of Rome and broadcasting to over 62 countries.  This show is live to the Chicago Metropolitan area and is dedicated to re-establishing the Dignity of the human person.  I discuss current events such as Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen, Movies, YouTube sensations like "Double Rainbow Guy" and more but through the lens of the Catholic Faith so that we can see where people have rejected their own dignity or the dignity of others.  The truth is that most have only fallen under the weight of their own weaknesses and are like Christ in the tomb waiting the resurrection.  We called to tabernacles in which Christ, through our hands and feet, comes to others in mercy and love.  When we embrace our own dignity being made in the image and likeness of God, we embrace our greatness.  This begins a transformation of our own hearts and through our yes,our prayers, our words and actions, encourage those around us to do the same.  We can transform our families, our communities, our cities, our states, our nations and our world when we embrace our greatness.

She is a regular contributor for Catholic Exchange and CatholicMom.com and has has written for Canticle Magazine, This Rock Magazine, Family Foundations (Couple to Couple League) and The Compass.  Her numerous guest appearances include; Catholic Family Land Television, EWTN's Women of Grace, Catholic Answers Live, St. Joseph Radio,  Relevant Radio and Ave Maria Radio to name a few.

Embracing Your Greatness: What it means to be made in the image and likeness of God, male and female He created them. How we are called to Know, Love and Serve God so we can be with Him forever in Heaven and how the World, the Flesh and The Devil uniquely get in the way of our "yes" as men and women. (Can be modified for adults, teens and middle schoolers).

Preparing For Battle; Men were created equal in dignity but complimentary in nature to woman.  This talk identifies why men are different, what they were created for and identifies the main areas of gifts are as well as the main obstacles so as to encourage and inspire men in this battle; i.e. pornography and such. I expound on the masculine heart.  I spend time on the wounds of men that can impact their ability to love and be loved. (Can be modified for adults, teens and middle schoolers).

Captivating Beauty; Women were created equal in dignity but complimentary in nature to men.  This talk identifies why women are different, what they were created for and identifies the main areas of gifts as well as main obstacles so as to encourage and inspire women to embrace their beauty. I expound on the feminine person.  I spend time on the wounds of women that impact the ability to love and be loved. (Can be modified for adults, teens and middle schoolers).

Desperate For Love: My conversion Story.  Sexual abuse started when I was 3. My Godfather was a drug dealer, my Godmother told my mother to leave my father.  The abuse continued until I was 14 and placed in foster care.  I ran away, then was pregnant just upon graduating from high school.  Yet, I tell the story of my childhood revealing all of the "God Moments" in which God was there and protected me.  I include the stories, telling them so the audience is there in the moment with me as they unfold. This talk is about healing and about believing that forgiveness transforms us.

Parenting the Kids We love: 5 Reasons kids engage in high risk behaviors and 10 things we can do as Parents to encourage our young people to embrace their greatness and their faith as their own.  This talk encourages and inspires parents to remember their own call to greatness.  This talk helps parents identify the ways in which to communicate with their kids, how to find the language to articulate truths of the church and the truth of what love is.  This talk also helps give tools to parents to talk to their kids in ordinary every day conversation about who God is, what love is and the unique gift of person they are in the world because "the talk" should be an ongoing dialogue that helps kids daily endure the trials, discouragement's and temptations to reject their faith.  

Living Your Yes is Loving God: My story of how Natural Family Planning transformed me, my husband and was the catalyst in saving my marriage.  I focus on Humane Vitae as well as Love and Responsibility and Theology of The Body all through my personal story of teen pregnancy, contracepting and then using Natural Family planning. This story is about learning to re-order the gift of our sexuality within the call of marriage in a world that has become a culture of death and divorce.

Pure Freedom: This talk is about re-ordering sexual love.  When I speak to teens on this subject, I speak on Chastity and God creating us for a purpose.  When I speak to adults and or married couples, I speak about the relationship of body and soul.  I discuss the 5 senses of the body, the sacramentality of the body as well as each of the 7 sacraments and how they are the outward sign of the inpouring of grace.  They are the means of which to grow in love.  I discuss the culture, free will, and how each of us are created for a reason, a purpose and are unique and unrepeatable persons.  We have specific gifts and charisms and through our yes, one person can change the world.  (Can be given as a chastity talk or as an adult talk for married couples).

Created For Love; This talk uses Sacred art to evangelize and teach the faith as well as to inspire trust in Divine Providence.  Through the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the shroud and Divine Mercy, I reveal how 10 million Aztec people came into the church in less than 7 years.  How God always speaks the language we can receive and that the New Adam and New Eve reveal our call love rightly.  The message of Divine Mercy is the healing salve for the woundedness of our very beings due to culture or childhoods.  When we enter into the story of OLGuadalupe and the message of Divine Mercy, we see that the cross is the way to happiness.  Life is suffering but their are great joys along the way and when we enter into the story of the redemption of man, we are transformed.  (Can be given for adults, teens or middle schoolers).
