TESTIMONIALS

What is it like being a part of a Redwood Collective group?

“This group has shown me the power of showing up for one another. When we show up for each other honestly, intentionally, and prayerfully, God has moved and I have been blessed. This group has become more than just friends, they have become brothers.”

At one point in writing to the Corinthians, the old apostle tosses out the phrase, ‘as I am fully known’ (1 Corinthians 13:12). I’ve always thought most humans are probably as conflicted as I am on that one. I do want to be fully known, so at least someone truly knows me. And the prospect of being known that way is often terrifying. Being a part of Chris and Evan’s group has moved me from terrified to the safe place of being known by other men, other pastors, who are for me no matter what state I am in on any particular day. I commend their methodology and practice to you.”

This group is unlike any other I have experienced. What a gift it has been! The group is many things, but to highlight one, it has given me relational tools to show up in the world as a better husband, father, pastor, and friend. What has been forged in these months will last a lifetime.”

For years I have felt alone and held captive to expectations that shaped the words I say and even the emotions I feel. This group has been an answer to my prayers for an honest group of friends that understand me. Moments given to this authentic fellowship have been invaluable, helping me sort out my cluttered heart and bring my whole self to my family and friends.”

I've learned that shame is a powerful force that can be controlling our joy and decisions we make. These sessions have brought me to an awareness of myself in life’s situations and helped me enter into those situations with freedom instead of shame.”
