So much of discipleship feels like you're going through an endless workbook. Discipleship efforts have been pushed through the classroom model full of fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions. Workbooks leave the ordinary Christian man bored.

Cross Training Ministries gives you workouts, not workbooks.

We believe that training in spiritual fitness is a lot like physical training - little effort results in little change. We want to help you break free from a stale and distracted devotional life, by challenging you to Hymn Workouts. Hymn Workouts put you in a position where you must to exert your mind, memory, and attention.

Meditating on hymns is like a HIIT workout for your soul.
