5/5

The spiritual exercises Chrissy led us through were nothing short of transformational. I didn’t expect to encounter God so profoundly—especially in a group setting—but He was undeniably present. That intimate connection with God is something I’ll never forget, and I look forward to experiencing it again.

Chrissy Lynn, your newsletter is fabulous! I’ve sent it out to friends. I am teaching on spiritual disciplines this fall and I plan on using some of your material you provided us in The Trellis Report. Thanks!
