Christie was born In New Orleans, Louisiana and raised in several of the cozy suburbs. She married her high school sweetheart, Mike Indest, in 1970. After ten years of marriage, the couple felt God's call to attend Bible school. Mike was accepted into Southwestern Assemblies of God Bible College in Waxahachie, Texas. With three small children in tow, the Indest family relocated.

After Mike's graduation from Dallas Baptist University with a master's degree in Biblical Languages, the family moved back to the New Orleans area. After many years of providing counseling services, Christie decided to pursue formal training and earned a bachelor's degree in Social Counseling and a master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Our Lady of Holy Cross College.

Christie's experiences are varied. Her life as a Christian, a mother, a pastor's wife, and a counselor has given her the opportunity to work in many settings. Christie has worked with foster children, New Orleans's homeless, and juveniles in the court system, all of which has inspired her to write about the Lord's faithfulness.

Christie's articles have been published in Christian periodicals including Pentecostal Evangel, The Evangelist, Pathways, and The Good News. Her book, Aletheia Irene, has recently been released and Christie is currently working on the sequel.

Christie and Mike live in Folsom, Louisiana. Their children and families live nearby. They have five grandchildren: Kalie, Michael Jr., Keenan Jr., Lauren and Major.
