Meet MRM: Christa Hutchins – Project Manager & Goal Strategist

Hi. I’m Christa: Project Manager, Strategy and Accountability Coach, Encourager.

I’m a doer at heart and love to do all the things. Whether it’s leading a team of engineers designing a world-scale chemical plant, or checking in kids to Sunday morning life group, you’ll often find me on the go.

I have a special heart for women who are following their God-dreams while working a full-time job. I’ve also been working with writers and speakers for about 10 years.

Hi, I’m Jenifer! Lover of stories, old things, and simplicity. Wife to an amazing man and mom to 3 incredible kids.

Asking questions (I think this is where my counseling degree comes into play!) and leading someone to make their dreams become a reality is one of my greatest joys.

As a Book Coach and Developmental Editor, I help others turn their ideas into sentences, sentences into paragraphs, and paragraphs into written works that will encourage, teach and inspire others.

Refined Conference 2024: The Recap

Last year, we hosted our first Refined Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with a small group of attendees, five amazing speakers, and several of our team members present. It was a beautiful day of easy conversations, precious encouragement and worship, and true community.

The Refined Conference 2024, held September 13-14, was intentionally designed to welcome in faith-based creatives from all phases and stages in their writing and business journeys and create space for genuine community and opportunity for support. The overarching theme in our hearts as we planned was “Living Out Your Calling”, whatever that calling is or whatever it might look like.

MRM: Planning for 2024

Welcome to 2024, friends! It feels redundant to say this each year, but it’s hard to believe it’s already time for a new year to begin. Looking back over the previous year always brings waves of sentimentality and gratefulness for all we were a part of, curiosity over what’s to come, and determination to do more or better. 2023 was truly a year of fully embracing our calling and purpose—as individuals, as a team, and as a community—even when it was a little scary or uncertain. Join us as we attempt to summarize as much of 2023 as we can!

MRM Team Retreat 2023: Dreaming Big!

Our Market Refined Media & Publishing team is completely virtual—we are scattered coast-to-coast across the country with Mandy, our team leader, located near the Chattanooga, Tennessee area where we held workshops and the Refined Conference this year! For the day-to-day operations of MRM, we stay connected to each other with regular team (Zoom) calls, sometimes lengthy emails, a private team Facebook group, and some days, never-ending text threads!

For years, Mandy had the vision to bring our team together—in-person—under one roof for a long weekend to dream, plan, pray and pour into each other, and that vision finally came to life for us last year.

Refined Conference 2023: The Recap

We dreamed of a day to sit and pour into a group of individuals with their own dreams and aspirations. We dreamed of moments to hug and encourage and whisper “You’ve got this.” We prayed for a day filled with valuable education wrapped up in conversations that were easy, casual, and hopeful.

Those prayers and dreams came true abundantly this past weekend as we hosted the first Refined Conference.

God called you to do big things for His glory. He called us to support and equip you on that journey.
