Welcome to our biblical marriage coaching website! We’re Dave and Cristina, a dynamic duo passionate about guiding couples on their journey through the transformative power of the Gospel.
Dave serves as the family and community pastor at Red Mountain, dedicating his days to listening, encouraging, and empowering individuals and couples. His heart beats for Gospel “ah ha” moments and the restorative power of the Gospel in people’s lives. Together with his wife, Cristina, they navigate the joys and challenges of a blended family, cherishing their four children as precious gifts from the Lord.
Cristina, a resilient soul residing in the desert of Mesa, Arizona, has been married to Dave for 16 years. A pastor’s wife, coach, mentor, and friend, Cristina’s journey began at the age of 13 when she worked as a shampoo girl in a friend’s beauty shop. With an extraordinary work ethic, she later became a Director in the non-profit sector and managed a team of 50+ sales reps in corporate retail. Cristina’s life coaching journey evolved naturally, driven by her passion for motivating and encouraging others to excel and improve.
In addition to her corporate achievements, Cristina has a heart for ministry. Alongside Dave, she has led premarital counseling, mentoring, and coaching for couples and women. Her faith journey has seen her serving with the youth and women, facing challenges like sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, and an abusive first marriage. However, Cristina’s story is one of redemption, grace, and beauty found through understanding the true meaning of the cross.
One of Cristina’s greatest passions is working with women, helping them recognize their value as God sees them. She guides them forward on their God-given paths, steering clear of shame and guilt. Having overcome her own struggles, Cristina understands the importance of connecting with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, providing a perspective that only a former “woman at the well” can offer.
Together, Dave and Cristina Emigh are dedicated to bringing their wealth of experience, faith, and love to support and guide couples through the sacred journey of marriage. Join us as we embark on this adventure with you, one step at a time.
