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 seven children ages 2-18 years old and has been married to her husband Shawn (who was raised Jehovah's Witness and is now Catholic) for 16 years.  Christina is founder of Pure Freedom and has been speaking nationally for 11 years and as a Catholic Answers Speaker for over 6 years.
She has written for Canticle Magazine (Women's Issue's), This Rock (Catholic Answers) Family Foundations (Couple to Couple League) and The Compass (Green Bay Diocese Paper).  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. 

Presentations:

Equal in Dignity, Complimentary in Nature;
This talk or retreat introduces you to John Paul 11's theology of the body.  Covering the nuptial meaning of the body, the gift of self, peace of the interior gaze, the body and soul connection as well as understanding the nature of the masculine and feminine person and how each uniquely makes a gift of themselves.  This talk explores how our modern world influences our ability to answer the call God places in our lives and how the family, especially those called to marriage, can be a beacon of light to the world through the sacramental union of marriage and the image of the Trinity that it makes visible to the world.

 Embrace Your Greatness!
One person can change the face of the world forever! You were no accident! God has a plan for each of our lives and gives us the gifts, charisms and the grace to carry it out.  Our yes to God's plan, is the catalyst to living that call out.  Once we have given our yes, what do we need to understand to live that yes out?  This talk explores how the sacraments are the fuel and the vehicle to live our yes in today's modern world.  This is a motivational talk that empowers us through looking at the Luminous Mysteries and how Christ models to us the steps we need to take when we give our yes to God's plan for our lives and embrace our Greatness!

The Crowned Jewel: Woman
This is not only a powerful women's retreat (or talk) but is the key to understanding the unique creation of woman.  The beauty and value of femininity is the key to understanding of our relationships with others, ourselves and with God.  This message is steeped in the truths revealed by Pope John Paul 11 in “The Genius of Woman” as well as Dr. Alice von Hildebrand's book “The Privilege of Being A Woman” as well as personal experiences of being a Wife of 17 years and a mother of 7 children.

For retreats the talks are as follows

Daughter's of The King;
Through virtue of our baptism we are son's and daughter's of God. The preciousness of this relationship is discovered to help us embrace God as our Loving Father.

The Genius of Woman:
Drawing from the Pope John Paul II's writings about the nature of woman as it's been discussed for 2500 years to show how John Paul II is making an original contribution to the dignity of woman. She also looks at original sin and how it affects our ability to make a sincere gift of self to God and others.
I am a handmaid of the Lord!;

This discusses the role of women in the third millennium as well as how feminism has changed society and women's ability to submit their will to God's plan for them. Through the discussion of Pope John Paul 11's "new feminism” Christina speaks to women about women using the Blessed Mother, Joan Of Arc, Saint Faustina and others as our model. 

Preparing for Battle; A call to femininity
A discussion of Joan of Arc's life and how it parallels the call on our own lives.  We are all soldiers in the army to re-crown Christ the King of our world, our lives, our hearts and especially our families. Through the beautiful story of St. Joan of Arc's life, we see how she truly is a saint for these modern times.  This talk can be modified so as to be presented to children our adults.

Parenting the Teens We Love:
5 Reasons Teens Engage in 3 High Risk Behaviors and 10 things we can do to instill love of the faith so when they leave home, they don't leave home without it!

Pure Freedom;
The chastity message that Christina has been giving for the past 12 years all across the country! Relying on Pope John Paul 11 “Love and Responsibility” as well as her unique interactive style, Christina actually uses Chatechisis to teach what the sacraments are and what they do to assist us in living out a life of virtue.  This message not only talks about the virtue of Chastity but also the discernment of vocation, the difference between love and lust through understanding that Love must be Free, Total, Faithful and Fruitful!  What does it mean to see someone as an object and not a subject? Christina explores the dignity of the human person, the need to have a properly formed conscience, to submit our will and receive the sacraments to provide the graces necessary to live out God's call on our lives. 

You are Loved!
A new talk dealing with Dr. Conrad Baar's work on Affirmation therapy and how Emotional Deprivation disorder is the root of many person's inability to give and receive love within the family. Christina talks about her own life of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and how the Catholic Church provides so many means to heal those wounds.  How can we apply this knowledge to heal our hearts, our relationships and our families.

Modern and Modest;
How has modern fashions impacted our ability to see and enter into the dignity of the human person? What are the standards of modesty? What can we do to embrace the concept of modesty.  This is not just about clothing, it is about body language, relationships and how we portray ourself image to the world.  This talk can be tailored for your event!
