In today’s episode of ReInvent Your World, we are continuing our Women in Ministry series with Rev. Dr. Christine V. Davies. Christine is an ordained Presbyterian minister, hospital chaplain, spiritual director, and seminary professor with over two decades of experience. In this conversation, we explore her journey of spiritual care, grief, and how she has found her calling to walk alongside others in times of loss.
Christine opens up about her personal journey—from growing up in a Presbyterian church in Northern New Jersey to discovering her passion for helping others through spiritual care. She shares her incredible path through seminary, earning both a Master of Divinity and a Master of Social Work, and how she now teaches others how to serve as chaplains and spiritual guides.
Christine also gives us a glimpse into her daily life as a chaplain and how she balances her professional responsibilities with her family life. She offers insight into the world of chaplaincy and how it supports people during their times of deepest pain. She discusses the role of spiritual direction in helping others try on different spiritual practices and connect with God in meaningful ways, beyond traditional religious expectations.
Christine’s story reminds us that grief and loss are part of our shared human experience, and it is through compassion, listening, and spiritual care that we can truly support one another in navigating life’s most challenging seasons.
