ALTON - On a recent episode of “You’re Beautiful” with Brian Trust , Christy Schult shared how God has guided her through her career as an educator and her new position as the development director at the Community Hope Center in Cottage Hills. Schult noted that God has been in her life since she was a child, and His influence is as powerful as ever.
