Christina
L. Mial.

Pastor Life Coach Author Speaker Entrepreneur Notary Public

From Apex, NC to pulpits, platforms, and purpose Christina L. Mial is a living testimony that restoration is not just possible. It is a lifestyle. She is a pastor, award-winning life coach, author, speaker, and builder of people who has dedicated her life to helping others find their way back to themselves and forward into their calling.

"Because He gave me another chance."

She did not just survive.
She became the proof.

Christina L. Mial grew up in Apex, NC and like many people, her journey included chapters she never planned for. She walked through domestic violence. She walked through addiction. She walked through seasons that had every reason to take her out permanently.

But they didn't. And that is the whole story.

Not just that she survived but that she turned every scar into a sermon, every wound into a workbook, and every broken season into a bridge for someone else to walk across. She does not speak about healing from a distance. She lives it out loud, on purpose, so that others can see themselves in her story and dare to believe their own redemption is possible.

Today Coach Chris is an ordained pastor, an award-winning certified master life coach, a multi-published author, a sought-after faith-based speaker, and the founder of four businesses. She is also the creator of Daughters of Destiny, an annual women's conference now in its eighth year, that has touched hundreds of women across North Carolina and beyond.

She speaks from experience, never theory. She coaches from the trenches, never the sidelines. And everything she does is rooted in one simple truth: God gave her another chance. So she gives everything she has to make sure that chance counts.

Being the hands
and feet of God.

Founded in 2015 and located in Raleigh, NC, By His Stripes Outreach Ministries was born from a simple but powerful conviction: it is hard to introduce Jesus as the Bread of Life to someone who is hungry for physical food.

This ministry exists for those who have been silenced by pain those experiencing abuse, homelessness, and the kind of hurt that makes you believe no one is coming. Pastor Christina believes outreach is one of the most powerful tools for spreading the gospel. So she shows up. Every time.

Her why

Why does she do all of this?

"Because He gave me another chance."

That is not a tagline. That is a testimony. Every book written, every woman coached, every sermon preached, every trip planned, every photo taken it all comes back to this. She got another chance. And she refuses to waste it.
