More about Allison and Christine

From a young age, Allison and Christine each desired lives marked by wisdom. The Proverbs Project is the result of this lifelong pursuit, their respective seminary degrees in marriage and family counseling, and many years of working in the trenches with parents, kids and families.

Allison and Christine are both boy moms, and have been indoctrinated into the finer points of mud, Minecraft and muscles. Allison and her husband Chad have a son and their poorly behaved beagle. Christine and her husband Matt have 3 boys and a rambunctious chocolate lab. 

These two therapists have given their lives to equipping others in healthy connections. Healthy relationships are everything! The quality of our relationship between God, self and others is the quality of our whole lives. Their desire is that they would help others be encouraged, equipped, and established on the foundation of the Word of God.
