A Note From Kristen

I didn’t create The Adi Project simply because I wanted to start a business. I created it because I know what it feels like to lose sight of yourself—to live under the weight of harmful voices, betrayal, fear, and the belief that your needs, feelings, and voice do not matter. For a long time, I struggled to believe that God truly saw me, loved me, or had a purpose for my life.

My journey has taught me that freedom often begins quietly: by learning to recognize truth, making room for what has been painful, extending forgiveness, and discovering who God says you are beneath everything you have survived. I know healing is not simple or quick, but I also know that your past does not have to remain the loudest voice in your life.

The Adi Project is a mission close to my heart—a place to offer the compassion, truth, and hope I once needed myself. My prayer is that you would come to know that you are seen, valued, and not alone—and that you can live with the freedom, confidence, and purpose God has for you.

I honestly can't say enough good things about my life coaching experience with Kristen. Her passion for helping people rediscover lost identity through God's love is evident and made such a profound difference for me. Truly a life changing experience and I'm forever grateful.
Kesli
I went through the “Called by Name” small group and it was such a great book filled with amazing content that fits so many scenarios. Couldn't recommend it more!
Taylor
Called By Name came into my life at a time when I didn't even realize how much I needed healing. I was carrying pain from my past and walking through present struggles, unsure of how to let God into those broken places. This group reminded me that God never left me—even in the hardest moments—and that He still calls me His, even when I feel unworthy.
Gabby
The Adi Project has great potential to rewrite what it means to serve the Kingdom from a place of health, wholeness, and restoration. I believe there will be lots of fruit that will leaving a lasting impact, would recommend!
Mason
I went through the small group and it was an eye opener! This was definitely an excellent way of helping to deal with different issues that may arise.
Stephen
Going through the Called by name small group was a great opportunity to open up and learn more about myself and how God can help me in my trauma.
Elliot
This team is dedicated to helping people process trauma in a Godly way. I've been able to challenge my identity and learn to see myself the way God sees me through this small group and its curriculum! Would absolutely recommend!
