We’re with you! You are so in the right place!

We have time tested resources for you to use in your personal, professional or ministry life for change, healing and growth.


Hi Friend, My name is Christie Griffith. I have over two decades of experience in the mental health, ministry and nonprofit arenas. I have helped plant churches, start ministries, wrote curriculum, developed programs and much more.

I have found my niche at the intersection of gospel-Centered Christianity and scientifically proven best practices to help individuals thrive, teams operate in a healthy fashion and organizations effectively do what they do best.

To that end I have developed numerous books and series

  • The Women in Motion ministry (Step book, Journal, Leadership Workbook)
  • The Gospel Focused Bible Journaling method
  • The Nest (Therapeutic preschool program, Parenting Curriculum, Ministry)
  • Essential Care Ministry Practices ( Training curriculum for healthy mercy ministry, ministry self-evaluation)
  • The Pearl and the Chocolate (A modern parable and gospel presentation)
  • Mission to the Traumatized (Training for churches)
  • The Train Model ( Model/course for motivation and behavior change)
  • Living Out Your Faith (Small group curriculum to promote evangelism and discipleship)
  • Challenge Journal (workbook for Christians doing social work or mercy ministry)
  • Vas, Voy, Vamous prayer journal for international missions

(Many of these titles are currently being held back as they undergo editing and rebranding to bring you the best possible experience)

If you want to get updates on all new releases join the Hope Junkie inner circle.

All of this has been a mission of love and mercy more than profit. My books can be purchased on Amazon if you are looking for hard copies or from this site directly in electronic format. When you purchase from this site more funds go directly into the cost to produce and share these resources.

My core audience is people overcoming big things (addiction, homelessness, domestic violence, mental health issues), the people that serve them (shelters, programs, ministries, churches, caring individuals) and people that are new to or wanting to grow in the faith. I refuse to let money be a reason someone doesn’t get the help they are looking for.

So if you have been blessed by anything you have received from Hope Junkie Media or me personally, please consider paying it forward and donating to this work. For every $20 donation received, I will send a physical book to a shelter or recovery program during my once a quarter give back.

Pay it Forward Now!

**One final side note. It has been my experience that Christians feel I don’t have enough faith in my work and non-Christians say I have too much. That leaves my right where I am meant to be. Come for the science, stumble into the gospel. Come for the faith resources and find yourself soaking up all the training on the neurobiology of compassion you didn’t even know you needed! Take what you like, leave the rest.
