Leah Chrest serves on the Board of Directors of the Christian Meditation Center and is one of our Christian meditation teachers. She is passionate about helping others discover the healing, hope, and transforming love of God through prayer, Christian meditation, and a life rooted in Christ.

Leah is the author of At the Edge of the Jordan and It’s Okay to Be Okay. Through her books, blog, podcast conversations, and teaching ministry, she shares an authentic message of God’s faithfulness in the midst of loss, suffering, and life’s unexpected journeys. Her work invites others to experience the intimate relationship with their Creator that is available through Jesus Christ and to discover the peace and restoration found in God’s presence.

In addition to her ministry, Leah is a special education teacher who brings compassion, wisdom, and encouragement to those she serves. She and her husband live in Maryland and are grateful for their blended family of four children.
