"I first heard Krista speak at a women’s conference and was completely blown away. She was engaging, interesting, and witty, while delivering a well-researched, precise, and theologically meaty presentation. Everyone was captivated. Since then I have gotten to know Krista as a friend and colleague and especially appreciate her loyalty to Christ, commitment to biblical Christianity, and her humble spirit. She is the real deal.”
