Who we are


Lion Living was born from a passion to help people stop playing small and start living powerfully.

We believe every person is created with strength, courage, and a deep purpose — and our mission is to awaken that.

Hi, we are Chris & Heidi Kohn, the founders of Lion Living. We’ve spent over 20 years in children’s & youth ministry in many nations. For nearly a decade, we lived and served in Zambia, Africa, working with youth and children who have faced the most heartbreaking challenges. But even in the midst of hardship, we learned a powerful lesson: when someone believes in their value and begins to live like they matter; when they know who they are and whose they are — everything changes!

Whether it’s a child in Zambia, a teen searching for identity in the U.S., or an adult longing for more, every heart desires a chance to rise.

Lion Living is about helping you:

  • Build bold lion beliefs…to rise and overcome.

  • Establish powerful daily lion habits…to run with confidence.

  • Align with your God-given purpose.

  • And lead a life that ROARS with impact.

Right now, we offer community challenges, books and devotional resources, special events, individual encouragement, and weekly youth gatherings. This is all designed to help break through fear, live aligned with our gifts, and create a life that’s meaningful for you and for others.

Every purchase made through Lion Living supports our nonprofit work through Orchard Ministries, empowering vulnerable youth and kids to rise up as NextGen leaders in Zambia and beyond.

Because when YOU Rise, you help others rise too.
And that’s the kind of living that echoes for eternity.
