Christine M. Crawford is a poet, advocate, and theology geek who explores wild and wounded places through art, story, and humor.
Fluent in both wonder and lament, Christine's work lives at the intersection of faith, nature, and the beautifully complicated human experience. As the founder and director of The Holy Shift, she holds a master's degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and is pursuing a master's in Media Arts & Worship. She is also a Stephen Minister and trained in trauma-informed Mind-Body Medicine practices.
Christine has contributed to Bible studies on Nehemiah and Ephesians and developed curricula ranging from Purpose & Identity and The Theology of Suffering to The Ministry of Art and Drawing Near & Dwelling Well. Her writing has been featured in publications such as Fathom, Devotion Magazine, Rehumanize International, Shout Outdoor Lifestyle Magazine, DTS Voice, The Coffee Cup Bible Study Series, and Texas Poetry Magazine. She has earned awards from the Texas Poetry Society and the Evangelical Press Association.
You'll find her on the porch of her creekside cottage in the Texas Hill Country with her two dogs (one sinner, one saint), savoring anything involving music, laughter, or words.
The She Tree
The She Tree offers raw reflections and redemptive advocacy for women reclaiming their dignity after trauma, loss, or wounding. With the heart of a poet and the mind of a theologian, Christine weaves together faith, grief, and healing through the language of nature.
The Holy Shift
So much of Jesus’ teaching seems paradoxical and “upside-down” to our Western sensibilities. The Holy Shift is an invitation to be curious, dig deep, and be willing to be surprised by God.
Join Christine as she explores the upside-down kingdom of God as the right way forward in faith and life.
