Ancient practice for modern life

Trexo (’TRAY-co’) is a structured system of spiritual exercises rooted in how the earliest Christians lived their faith.

Not as theory. Not as information. But as lived practice. Day by day, week by week, season by season.


The first disciples of Jesus didn’t debate theology or belong to denominations.

  • They prayed.

  • They fasted.

  • They worshiped.

  • They broke bread together.

  • They served each other with radical generosity.


    And their lives were transformed by actual encounter with the risen Christ.

Trexo recovers that way of living for today.

It’s called a “gym for your soul” because the principle is identical to physical fitness: you don’t transform by knowing about exercise—you transform by actually exercising. Repeatedly. Intentionally. With guidance.

And you don’t do it alone. You do it in community.


Why “Trexo”?

Trexo is Greek for “run”—specifically, to run like an athlete: with full effort, clear purpose, and directed energy.

We spell it with an ‘X’ because that letter resembles a cross. In Greek, the letter Chi (Χ) represents Christ—it’s the same symbol early Christians used in secret (part of the fish, ichthus, which meant: “Jesus Christ God’s Son Savior”).

1 Corinthians 9:24:

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”

Trexo isn’t casual spirituality.

  • It’s intentional.

  • It’s disciplined.

  • It’s athletic in the best sense—you’re training your soul to be strong, flexible, resilient, and capable of genuine communion with God and each other.

Why Go Back to the Basics?

If you’re exploring Christianity today, you face a bewildering question: Which way?

There are hundreds of Christian denominations. Each has different answers to fundamental questions:

  • How do we worship?

  • How do we pray?

  • What does it mean to follow Jesus in daily life?

  • What is the ‘Christian’ response to the issues of the day?

It’s confusing. For many seekers - even for those who have been in the pews for years - it feels fragmented. Like Christianity is a collection of competing opinions rather than a unified practice. And we have decide which is ‘right’.

THIS is why we go back to the basics. Back to the gym.


Rather than getting lost in denominational differences, Trexo returns to what unites all Christians: the practices that have been central to Christian life for 2,000 years.

None of this is new. In fact, it’s all very, very old.

These are fundamental practices that every Christian tradition: Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Pentecostal, non-denominational - have at their core.

When you practice these ancient disciplines, you’re not joining a denomination.



You’re joining the Church.

The living body of Christ across 2,000 years, uniting every tradition, connecting everyone who follows Jesus.

The Ancient Sources

Trexo draws directly from the earliest Christian sources:

The Bible — Particularly the Acts of the Apostles, which shows how the first Christians actually lived. You see them praying, worshiping, breaking bread, healing, fasting, performing miracles, and encountering Christ directly.

The Didache (circa 100 AD) — One of the earliest Christian documents outside Scripture. It’s a practical guide for how to live as a Christian community. No theology textbooks. Just: Here’s how we pray, here’s when we fast, here’s how we welcome people, here’s how we break bread.

The Apostolic Tradition (circa 200-300 AD) — A detailed account of how the early Church organized worship, sacraments, fasting, and daily practice. It shows the rhythms and disciplines that were already centuries old by this point.

These sources aren’t obscure historical documents. They’re the earliest, most reliable records we have of what Christians actually did.

We can participate in those same practices today.
