Outside of ministry, Kris stays active through CrossFit and officiating football and basketball, enjoys substitute teaching, and finds time for reading and classic TV shows. He also shares devotionals, reflections, and his writing through his personal website krishutchinson.net, where he hosts a blog and podcast exploring how to see God in everyday life.
