Christine opens up about her powerful journey from being an "unnamed" child in Australia to leading a global movement against human trafficking.
She dives deep into the reality of childhood trauma, the shocking discovery of her adoption at age 33, and how she learned to "rewire" her brain through the Word of God. Whether you are struggling with a "mother wound," navigating disappointment in church leadership, or feeling like you're in your own "Hell Week," this conversation offers a roadmap for moving from survival to a life of true, supernatural flourishing.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
How to handle the "pain of recovery" after a life-altering injury or trauma.
-
The difference between a "well-managed life" and a supernatural one.
-
Why your history does not define your destiny.
-
Practical wisdom for the next generation of leaders in a social media-driven world.

Why the most fruitful decade of your life might still be ahead of you.
