Hi there! My name is Christy Messick.

 For years, I struggled with feeling disconnected from God, believing I was unworthy of divine love. My journey has been shaped by experiences of trauma, including abandonment, emotional abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and even spiritual abuse within my faith community. These hardships left me feeling broken, unlovable, and beyond redemption.

But everything changed when I discovered the transformative power of spiritual formation and unconditional love. Through deep healing and personal growth, I came to understand that my worth is not defined by my past or my struggles—I am beloved, created in the image of the Divine, with inherent dignity that cannot be taken away.

Now, I am passionate about helping others break free from shame, rediscover their worth, and experience the deep, abiding love of God. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, seeking spiritual direction, or looking for support in your healing journey, I am here to walk alongside you.

Professional Background

I hold a Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary and serve as an Outreach Advocate at a domestic violence shelter in Lexington, KY. As a Certified Spiritual Director (Haden Institute) and ordained minister within the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church), I have dedicated my career to guiding individuals toward spiritual and emotional healing.

With extensive experience in pastoral care, advocacy, and international ministry, I have served in various leadership roles, including as a chaplain for college students and a Pastoral Care Director at a nonprofit. I have spoken at conferences, churches, prisons, memorial services, and universities, addressing topics such as trauma healing, spiritual formation, and inclusive faith communities.

My Approach

I provide compassionate and professional support for those seeking:

• Spiritual Direction – A space for deep reflection, prayer, and discernment.

• Trauma-Informed Guidance – Support for survivors of abuse, addiction, and personal hardship.

• Workshops & Speaking Engagements – Customized sessions on faith, resilience, and healing.

I currently reside in Georgetown, KY, with my son, and I am committed to helping individuals and communities find strength, hope, and belonging.
