Erin Kristyne is a worship leader, recording artist, and devoted follower of Christ with a passion for creating spaces where people can encounter God's presence. Drawing from more than 20 years as a recording artist and several years leading worship, Erin ministers with authenticity, inviting others into a deeper relationship with the Lord. Her own journey—including unexpected career changes and becoming a single mom—has taught her to trust God's faithfulness, depend on His grace, and embrace His purpose in every season. Through worship and the sharing of her testimony, Erin encourages others to believe that no circumstance is beyond God's redemption and that His plans are always greater than our own. She is honored to be part of this retreat and prays that every woman leaves refreshed, encouraged, and deeply rooted in the truth that God is still writing her story.
