Discover a life with God at its center.

Stretch and Strengthen your soul.

Find more peace, purpose, and JOY.

Following the ways of the earliest Christians, Trexo helps you grow stronger in faith, life, and love.

Trexo is your 'gym for the soul' – a structured framework to actively engage your spiritual life.

Trexo (‘TRAY-co’) is a set of spiritual exercises based on early Christian practice.

We believe that learning - and experiencing - the faith of those who were close to Jesus leads to big changes in our lives: more love, peace, forgiveness, and JOY.

Exercises are derived from how the earliest disciples (up to ~400 AD) organized their lives, relationships, and communities and created ‘church’.

From early church sources - the Acts of the Apostles, the Didache, and the Apostolic Tradition - we’ve developed into the concept of a ‘gym for your soul’.

We all know what a gym is, and why we would go: health, strength, growth, life improvement, community.

Trexo is the same concept, but for our interior life:

• Strength (‘ischus’): Worship and Discipleship

• Stretching (‘ekteino’): Prayer and Evangelism

• Endurance (‘hupomeno’): Scripture and Economics

• Teamwork (‘koinonia’): Hospitality and Relationship
  

How it works:

• Subscribe to get weekly reflections about Trexo Practices via email.

• Follow Jesus like the earliest disciples did - centuries before we started dividing ourselves into different ways of being Christian.

• Become a part of the Trexo online community, use the Trexo Practices with your congregation as Christian formation, or start your own practicing community. Or all of the above!

Become a ‘gym member’ (paid subscriber) to:

• Receive Trexo ‘workouts’ - step-by-step activities for stretching and strengthening your soul.

• Guidance for discerning God’s will for your life.

• A community of support via chat.

As we grow we are planning:

• Trexo ‘Chapters’: Your local online or in-person ‘gym for your soul’.

• Trexo ‘Guides’: Spiritual ‘Trainers’: Learn the Trexo Practices more deeply, guide others in their faith; start your own Chapter.

The earliest Christians left the fish symbol (‘Icthus’) in places others could see - others they would never meet or know, but who were part of their community.

We believe we can do the same with Trexo Practices - connect and create community with those we may never meet in person, as well as those we live with every day.

Here’s how to start:

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

This is called the ‘Sursum Corda’, and we say it at the beginning of the Eucharistic prayer.

‘Sursum Corda’ is Greek for ‘lift up your hearts’, and it literally means: Hearts up!

This is a brief exercise to start every day: say the ‘Sursum Corda’.

Trexo = Hearts up!
