July 18, 2017I was able to help lead a conference with Christina. The conference was based on her book Perseverant Parenting. Throughout the process of planning the event I was able to get to know her both personally and also as a leader. She was so easy to work with! Christina is a very effective communicator about details and processes . Her conference content was easy to follow and understand as well. She is extremely knowledgeable on so many topics, and yet she is so personable, that she is able to connect with people from all walks of life . The conference was a great success. I would highly recommend her for anything that involves people!

July 13, 2017Attended one of the parenting seminars last year. Was a great learning and growing experience. I really enjoyed the environment and the atmosphere created. It was also a great way of getting connected with other parents at the church and find common ground.

May 5, 2012I heard Mrs. Calk speak at our church women's retreat in the Spring of 2011. The topic was about embracing our uniqueness, Christina used wonderful picture images to relay her point. When she was done, you could understand how and why God has made each of us unique. She speaks clearly, confidently and she is relatable.
