Christine Judal’s early experience attending the Southern Baptist Church didn’t prepare her for what would happen after her father died when she was 13 years old. During World War II, he had endured almost four years in a POW camp near Nagasaki, Japan, and personally witnessed the atomic destruction of that city; experiences which, after the war, led him to drink. Christine, the youngest of six children, experienced him more and more as an alcoholic and sometimes abusive father as she grew up, while she, herself, had become a resentful young teenager by the time he died. When she returned home after his funeral, she felt something pressing on her in the house, and she knew it was him, but did not want to engage. She tried to ignore what she sensed, but he persisted for weeks. Finally, she confronted him. “Tell me what you want,” she said, “and then you have to go away, and never come back.” What happened next changed her forever.
Christine will join us live via Zoom from her home in California, to share the remarkable story of her encounter with her father’s spirit, and it’s indelible, transformative impact on her life.
About Christine
Christine Judal’s family has always been a big part of her life. She became a mother at the young age of 19, and was the mother of two by age 22. “We stay pretty close,” she says now. Parenting brought all the normal challenges, plus the special, but stressful challenge of helping her oldest manage the progressive loss of her eyesight. She has always been inspired by service, which has guided her through a variety of life experiences. During her decade as a teacher, she instilled a love for learning in her students, fostering critical thinking, self-esteem, and creativity. Transitioning into federal civilian service, Christine developed technical expertise as an Air Force Quality Assurance Specialist, ensuring aircraft components met rigorous standards. Her passion for safety led her to become an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist for the University of California, where she championed workplace safety and environmental protection until her retirement. When she was offered the unique opportunity to apprentice under don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, she was grateful for the invitation to deepen her spiritual and personal growth. From don Miguel, she learned the value of changing our early agreements with life when they no longer serve our truth. From her father, she was offered the blessing of knowing, without a doubt, that our consciousness survives death and love not only continues, but flourishes.
