I’m Christa—a regular person with the same struggles you have.
There’s nothing super amazing about me. There is something pretty amazing about Jesus, though, and he’s the One who made me, saved me, and gives me purpose in everything I do (yep, even the toilet scrubbing).
All I have is Jesus. I believe in Him and want my life to be all about His glory. Although God has given me many blessings in this life (such as my family whom I’ll introduce below), I want Christ to be so central that when anything is taken away, I’m still living for Him. So that’s what I seek to live out—whether in my home, family, finances, church, or this site. Christ at the center.
God has given me a godly friend in my husband, Jonathan. Last year, we moved to New Hampshire where he serves as a senior pastor. And I must say, I enjoy having such a good-looking man as my very own pastor.
We have four precious children. Our lives are fuller and undoubtedly richer because of them.
My goal in this space is to apply God’s Word to my daily life and encourage you to dig in and study the Bible for yourself.
My Book
In 2019, my first book published: Come to Jesus. The message of this book has been life-changing for me. The fact that God allowed me to write it out and share it with so many people proves that God is still in the business of using imperfect people to accomplish his work. I’m here for that!

Why the name Brown Sugar Toast?
“Brown Sugar Toast” came after a bazillion “I’m sorry, that site name is not available” notifications. My husband and I were standing in the kitchen brainstorming about a name and he said, “Think about something you love.”
Naturally, I thought of food. I think the first thing I said was my mom’s chicken and green bean casserole.
We mentally crossed that suggestion out, figuring it was a bit too long.
Finally, we came upon the idea of brown sugar toast—a treat my mom made when I was a kid.
Toast bread, spread it with a little butter, and then liberally sprinkle brown sugar on top. Delish.
