Below is a little bit about us:

Sandi
Hi, I'm Sandi,  (Sandi with an i), and am from Huntington Beach and currently live in Newport Beach, California.  I have been married to my husband Andrew for 25 years and we have have two adult children, my son is 22 and my daughter is a  4th year senior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

We currently attend Grace Fellowship Church in Costa Mesa, California.

I took baby steps to learn about having a relationship with Jesus and understanding about God’s plans and purposes...and without knowing ‘everything’ - my natural activator/achiever/leadership instincts led me to lead home discipleship groups, Experiencing God with Blackaby, working in faith based organizations, living out my faith through a breast cancer diagnosis and loving the concept of the 5th Gospel. 

I am currently working as the Grants Manager at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire, manage several family foundations part time, as well as involved with Free Wheelchair Mission, Night to Shine with Tim Tebow Foundation, Transformed in Him,  and Northrise University in Zambia.

Christie
Hi I live in south Orange County, California with my wonderful husband, Ken. We have 3 sons: A sports broadcaster in Little Rock, AR, another who just graduated from the University of Utah, and the youngest currently studying at the Univ  of Utah.

I was raised Catholic but have attended and learned much about the bible from Saddleback Church (lead by Pastor Rick Warren). I have been a part of and lead a number of bible studies.  One of the most rewarding and meaningful ministries I have been involved in, is being a lay counselor at Saddleback Church.

In addition to working in advertising for a publisher, I love to spend  my time at The Shea Center in San Juan Capistrano - it is an equine therapy facility dedicated to helping the disabled and US veterans.

How Sandi & Christie Met
Sandi and Christie, both fresh out of college, began working at an ad agency in Los Angeles called DDB Needham.  They became fast friends which turned into roommates.  After they both got married, they became involved in bible studies together and even carpooled monthly to LA to be a part of a DDB Needham book club (which as of today, it’s been around 27 years!).  During these long car rides, they developed a dream of ministering to others through scripture and family/work related topics. Sandi and Christie both had their kids around the same time and 15 years later found themselves competing on the club-volleyball court throughout Southern California.  With their kids successfully out of the house, they are now both empty nesters and ready to share their wisdom of what they’ve learned throughout the years (the good, the bad and the ugly) of raising a family and tackling the work world - all with a positive attitude, dedication, always learning, always bettering themselves and striving for excellence and significance in all they do - not perfection, but excellence.  

Psalm 46:10 became our anxiety diffuser:
  Be still and know that I am God.
  And broke it down to:

  Be still and know that I am.
  Be still and know.
  Be still.
  Be.

Q:  Aren’t you curious what that could look like?! 
We want you to discover with us how to:

•  Be Accepted (Christie)
• Be Transformed (by God and a new way of thinking)
• Be Confident
• Be Connected
• Be Content
• Be Dedicated (to all you do)
• Be Excellent (in all you do)
• Be Fun
• Be Healthy
• Be Love
• Be Patient
• Be Peaceful
• Be Significant (because you are!)
• Be Smart
• Be Worthy
• Be Inspired
• and the list goest on... 

Remember, 
our hope and prayer is to let you know that you are uniquely designed by God!  We welcome you and your small group/bible study to join us in this time of rebirth, transformation, and enjoy this adventurous and fabulous journey God has us on. This will be the ride of your life!  Hang on!  And “Be Inspired” !   We ask Jesus for all of this, “In God’s Name”  ASK and you WILL receive.

Inspiring you to BE Designed To Be.
