An Inspired Chat with Christina Moore of Thornton

We recently had the chance to connect with Christina Moore and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Christina, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
Right now, I feel called to step out boldly and fully own the story God has given me. For a long time, I was comfortable working quietly and staying behind the scenes. I was afraid of being seen, of not feeling “ready,” or not having everything perfectly figured out.

But my faith in Jesus has taught me that obedience is greater than fear.

I’m being called to trust Him more deeply – to share my journey openly, to lead with faith, and to move forward even when I can’t see the full picture. I’ve learned that courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s choosing to trust God anyway.

This season is about surrender, boldness, and walking confidently in the purpose He’s placed on my life.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi everyone, my name is Christina – I’m a wife, mother, veteran, and woman of faith who believes that purpose and calling go hand in hand. Everything I build is rooted in my faith in Jesus and the belief that we are meant to steward our gifts boldly and with excellence.

I’m the founder of La Casera Sourdough Co., an in home micro-bakery born from both passion and prayer. What started as a simple love for baking became something much deeper – a way to serve my community, create intentional moments around the table, and honor the generations before me. “La Casera” reflects home, tradition, and heart – which is exactly what I hope people feel when they taste my bread.

Balancing family, faith, and entrepreneurship has stretched and refined me, but God has been faithful through every season. I don’t separate my faith from my work – I let it lead. Right now, I’m focused on growing what He has placed in my hands, building La Casera with integrity and purpose, and trusting Him with the outcome.

For me, this journey isn’t just about bread – it’s about legacy, obedience, and creating something meaningful that reflects Christ and something my children can one day carry forward. It’s about building with intention now so that what I leave behind is rooted in faith, hard work, and purpose.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My husband saw me clearly before I could see myself. He saw strength in me when I felt uncertain. He saw leadership and vision in me when I doubted my ability. He consistently reminded me of who I was – not just in my own eyes, but in God’s eyes. His encouragement and steady belief gave me the courage to step into spaces I once felt unqualified for.

There were moments when fear tried to make me shrink back, but he spoke life over me and challenged me to trust what God had already placed inside of me. That kind of support has been a gift, one that has strengthened both my faith and my confidence.

Now, as a wife and mother, I understand even more how powerful it is to truly see someone and call out the greatness in them. I’m grateful for a husband who has done that for me.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her, “You belong here.” As a first-generation Salvadoran American, I carried a lot quietly – pressure to succeed, to make my family proud, to not waste opportunities they sacrificed for. But deep down, I struggled to believe in myself. I often felt like I had to prove my worth, like I was always catching up.

I would tell her that she doesn’t have to earn her value. That being different is not a weakness. That God sees her, even when she feels unseen. And that one day, the little girl who doubted herself would grow into a woman who walks in faith, strength, and purpose.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I admire my dad deeply for his character. He was my steady presence – the one who disciplined me, guided me, and showed me constant love. He carried responsibility with quiet strength and led with both firmness and tenderness. Watching him shaped my understanding of sacrifice, integrity, and what it means to truly show up for your family.

I also admire my mom for her resilience and heart. She worked incredibly hard and always met me with understanding and emotional support. She has a quiet strength about her, the kind that endures and keeps loving no matter what.

They taught me perseverance, love, and faith. I carry pieces of both of them in who I am today.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. It’s who I am.

For a long time, I worked hard because I felt I had to prove myself. But over time, my faith in Jesus reshaped that. Now, I give my best not for applause, but because excellence honors God.

I believe integrity is revealed in the unseen moments – in the work no one claps for, in the sacrifices no one posts about. Whether anyone notices or not, I want my life to reflect faithfulness. At the end of the day, I’m not working for recognition – I’m working to honor the One who gave me the ability in the first place.
