Hi, I'm Chrissy, and I'm so glad you're here!
Rooted in Faith is a place for women to gather, be encouraged in God's Word, and draw closer to Jesus in the middle of everyday life. Nothing fills my heart more than sharing the love and faithfulness of God with women like you.
Here you'll find Spirit-led encouragement poured out from the Olive Press, journeys through Scripture in Stories That Speak, and a community that covers one another in prayer. Whether you're brand new to faith or have walked with Him for years, there's a place for you here.
So grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and stay a while. I pray these words meet you right where you are and remind you how deeply you are loved.
Let's grow together, rooted in Christ and flourishing in His love.
Get email updates for my Tuesday and Thursday posts, with encouragement to help you grow in your walk with God. I'd love for you to join me.

Imagine being swallowed whole by a great fish. No light. No way out. Nothing familiar. Just darkness, the sound of water, and the realization that your life has taken a turn you never could have imagined.
There are seasons in life when we find ourselves carrying more than we were ever meant to carry. Sometimes it happens gradually. We say yes when we really need to say no. We take on another responsibility, make another accommodation, or allow something to continue because we don't want to disappoint someone, hurt their feelings, or create an uncomfortable situation. Before long, we may be stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, and wondering how we got there.
Imagine standing at the edge of the sea with nowhere to go. Behind you, an army is closing in. Before you, the water stretches as far as your eyes can see. You have no boats to carry you across, no bridge to lead you to safety, and no way to escape what is coming.
There is something beautiful about the words by faith. They remind us that some of the greatest things God has ever done through ordinary people began with a simple decision to believe Him. Before the walls fell, before the sea parted, before the promise was fulfilled, and before the miracle ever took place, there was faith.
The rain had finally stopped, but Noah and his family were still waiting.
