Christine Labrum is a spiritual director, retreat leader, and artist. Her vocation is to companion and shepherd others with presence, words, and art. Christine’s journey with God has led her down a meandering road of diverse experiences, a decade of singleness, and 15 years of marriage and motherhood with a mug of coffee in her hand at every turn (in fact, she has an eclectic collection of pottery mugs that she loves to fill with coffee and share!).

 

Christine is passionate for us to experience God’s intense pursuit of our hearts: God’s kind invitation to repentance, God’s offer of deep rest from our striving, and God’s gift of love that leads us toward renewal, transformation, and co-creation. Her desire is to live life with God in an ever deepening surrender, intimacy, and partnership. She is committed to engaging, encouraging, and teaching spiritual practices (disciplines) that enable us to open our hearts and minds to God’s Spirit through Jesus, our Lord and Savior. As a spiritual director, retreat leader, and group leader she facilitates creating and holding space in our lives with intention to engage with God and listen to His voice.

 

Christine loves her husband, Mark, who is different from her in every way, just as orange differs from blue. She partners with him in loving their two girls.

 

Christine graduated from Messiah College with a Bachelor of Arts in studio art in 1992. She also earned a Master of Divinity from Biblical Seminary in 2004 and completed spiritual direction training at Kairos: School of Spiritual Formation in 2013.
