Feedback on previous events

"It was a great session and I took away lots of inspiration that's highly relevant to the training I do with believers in the workplace. I came away with a deeper understanding of old-testament spiritual principles that explain some of the new-testament phenomena."

Daniel Ghinn, Worship.Works

Lots of people are saying things are "life-changing," but reflecting on my growth as a Christian over the last 10 years, I can genuinely say that Crispin's teaching has truly transformed me. His teaching allows you to enter into an ancient culture and explore for yourself the complexities of the text - resulting in an understanding of its meaning in a deep and personally profound way.

Anna Mason, Kings Cross Church

"I loved it! I thought it was fresh and insightful and personally to me really helpful. It was refreshing to be able to drill down so deep on one topic and I have actually never been to a Christian seminar where so much open discussion was welcomed. I thought Crispin was excellent and I would appreciate hearing him again."

Leon Mileham, Connect Church
