While we’ve enjoyed every one of our FIERCE Over 40 sessions, this lady made a big impact on Jodi at her session and reveal. Some of you know what the AFH in AFH Media stands for. If you don’t, it stands for All For Him. We are a Christian based company and through this FIERCE Over 40 project, have been amazed at how many Christian women have walked through our studio doors. Cristin is one of those Christian ladies. After her session at our Lemoyne studio, Cristin stopped to pray with Jodi, not knowing what was on Jodi’s plate at that moment. At 49, Cristin has recorded her own song, produced her own conference and is currently mending from an ATV accident. She is certainly a FIERCE woman. She is currently the office director at Christ Community Church. Learn more about her below!
START BY TELLING ME WHO YOU ARE? WHERE ARE YOU FROM? GIVE ME A SHORT BIO OF YOU AND YOUR LIFE.
My name is Cristin and I was born in Oceanside, NY. I came to PA in 1991 to attend Lancaster Bible College. After graduation I moved to PA in December 1993. I am the Creator and Event Planner of "Dream BIG! Ignite Your Passion," and work full time at Christ Community Church as the Office Director. I'm also a single Mom to an amazing son who is 18. Certified as a public speaker through The John Maxwell Team and enrolled in the Nashville Artist Development University as a singer and songwriter. I've published three anthology books, The Beauty in My Mess, The Best Advice I Never Got : Wisdom for Our Daughters and Parentpreneur Survival Guide: Co-Author Edition. In May of 2019, I released my first single, "Dream BIG!" which is based on my life and journals, and in June of that year the first Dream BIG! Ignite Your Passion Event took place where I sang my newly released single for the very first time in public! This year I'm EXCITED to host my second, Dream BIG! Ignite Your Passion Event where attendees should expect a life-impacting day that will change lives for ETERNITY! She will also be sharing MORE of her NEW MUSIC that will be released later this YEAR!
