“Jake and Heather Khym are the real deal. Since I first met them in 1999, I have experienced their passion for sharing the Gospel. More importantly, I’ve personally witnessed their commitment to living it in an authentic and transparent way in their own lives. Because they’ve had the courage to dig deep in their own lives and in their marriage, they are ready and able to help others with the raw and exhilarating challenge of becoming fully alive in Christ.”
Christopher West, Founder and President of The Cor Project
