Experiencing a Profoundly Loving God

Hi Friends!

Many people today struggle with anxiety and isolation, missing the shalom and connection God designed us for. They long for change and need guidance to experience it. The good news is that just a few simple relational skills can bring powerful transformation.

At THRIVEtoday, our passion is helping people move beyond head knowledge of God into a tangible experience of Jesus’ love, peace, and guidance. Through practical resources—courses, events, and classes—we walk alongside people as they develop peace, joy, emotional resilience, and most importantly, a deep bond with Immanuel, a God who is near and whose love is profound.

We long to see the treasures of relational skills spread far and wide—but we can’t do it alone. Join us in this journey and be part of the transformation!

Hearing people’s stories helps us feel connected and not alone.

Throughout December we’ll be adding testimonies of people using relational skills in real life. Transformation is now part of their stories and they are exited to share with you!

COMING MONDAY!

Grace, a friend who has participated in several of our online groups, found practical help through our Habit Builder Courses:

“These groups fill a unique space to identify missing skills, practice them together, and find real hope. They’re a golden opportunity to come out of isolation and experience compassion… Through this loving community, I’m putting a kind face on God, which helps me experience His love and grow in my attachment with Him.”

Would you enjoy blessing others like Grace who are longing for practical ways to deepen their connection to God?

There are countless others looking for transformation in their lives and relationships. We long to invite them to learn with us, but we need your help!

You make this possible!

In 2025, together with the help of our generous donors, we had the privilege of touching hundreds of lives, like Grace’s, by helping them:

Navigate Emotions with new Return to Joy courses, Habit Builder Groups, and an Emotions Assessment .
Discover Ways to Work Through Conflict while staying connected to Jesus and protecting relationships (through our new conflict course).
Clarify their Growth Journey with a FREE webinar unpacking the key elements of capacity, recovery, and healing and when each is needed.

These resources make it easier than ever for people to come, learn what relational skills are, and begin to grow peace and connection.

Looking ahead to 2026

As we turn our attention to 2026, our desire is to empower groups and communities to grow together in relational maturity and their experience of God. We plan to make these life-changing skills more accessible than ever before by:

Launching a New Return to Joy Course focusing on how storytelling can help us grow in our ability to process emotions.
Equipping New Leaders by releasing additional facilitator and group resources to help leaders share the skills in their churches and communities.
Increasing Accessibility as we explore ways to make training more widely available, including a new subscription model for our courses.

Donors provide crucial encouragement and support so our goals can become reality!

To maximize THRIVEtoday’s impact in 2026, we’re trusting God for $100,000 in year-end gifts. Will you help spread joy, peace, and connection with a gift of $50, $100, or $500?

Thanks to the generosity of matching donors doubling the first $35,000 in gifts, your impact goes twice as far, fueling our mission to share transformative skills with thousands.

If it would bring you joy to partner with us in this way, we invite you to donate at the link below.

At the end of the day, relational skills point to a profoundly loving God. Thank you for being with us on the journey to experience Him and spread His love to a world in need!

Stacie's Story

"Before going to Thrive Premier training, I struggled with triggers rooted mostly in childhood trauma. I was a successful military officer, leading well in high-stress environments including combat, but inside I carried deep pain. This affected how I led, sometimes reacting out of my triggers and hurting people in my path. It affected my marriage and my parenting, hurting the relationships that mattered most to me. Thrive Premier training changed everything. I learned how to train my brain to run on joy instead of pain. This gave me new superpowers to stop the pain train before it left the station. I became capable of finding the peace that allowed me to be my true self and avoid relational collateral damage. What a breath of fresh air for those that I lead and love! The team at THRIVEtoday made me feel safe and secure enough to be vulnerable as I learned these new skills. They presented the material and exercises in an easily understandable way."

Scott's Story

“I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate the THRIVEtoday Relational Skills podcast. I work in a state system, providing services to young children and their parents, and these podcasts give great handles for understanding brain science and relational skills. I talk a lot about relational skills with the families that I see and having the podcast to share with them has been satisfying and helpful.”

Anni's Story

“One of the things that I have found to be an increased place of encouragement are the Habit Builder Groups that Thrive has started. I especially enjoy being able to connect with people who are interested in learning the same things that I'm learning, even if we're not in the same physical location.”
