We have decided to share from Sunday's message with Curtis and Crystal Christopher. Tara is still learning the ropes of producing, so this is unedited. We are all thankful for the opportunity to meet the Christopher family! We are praying it speaks to you.
When the Christophers came to Fostoria Nazarene Church, they brought with them not only their testimony but also a living example of how God weaves redemption into even the darkest chapters of our lives. Their journeys—through both divorce and death—mirror each other so closely that it is impossible not to see the hand of God at work from the very beginning.
Curtis reminded us of the importance of “putting your house in order,” a lesson he first learned as a college student. That phrase is more than practical advice—it is a spiritual call to prepare our hearts, our homes, and our lives for the presence of God.
Their story is not one of despair, but of encouragement. It shows us that grief, though heavy, can be transformed into testimony. It reminds us that when we surrender our brokenness, God builds something beautiful.
As sisters in Christ, we rejoice in having met them. Their words uplifted us, their faith strengthened us, and their presence reminded us that we are never alone in our struggles.
