About – Iris Knapp

Christian Life Coaching

Hi, my name is Iris!

I’m a former Jewish hippy who came to know Jesus as my Messiah during the Jesus Movement in 1969.

He changed me in a radical way and from that point on I’ve had a desire to see others experience God’s love and grace in their lives.

Along with life’s ups and downs I’ve learned to depend on and trust in God. He has been faithful in my life even when I was faithless. He has been my friend, my teacher, my Father & comforter.

I’ve lived in Georgia since 1976 and have two outstanding adult children, a wonderful son-in-law and granddaughter along with my sweet kitty & two grandkitties.
