Learn More →Thrive's pastoral care was recommended to me by a close friend, and words cannot express how much they helped me during one of my most challenging times. In the throes of burnout, I was empty and ready to quit. With the help of one of Thrive's experienced leaders, I processed with the Lord and came out the other side restored and refreshed.
I was hesitant at first. It didn't jive with my understanding of what it was to be a guy. I couldn't have been more wrong. The skills I learned have helped me become a better dad and husband, and I gained a deeper understanding of issues I'd struggled with for years.
Thrive's Unfinished Business group was a chance to experience deep empathy, healing care, and understanding from God through our leaders and group members. A safe small group such as this for people in ministry is rare and precious.
My experience was truly amazing! I received a newfound freedom as I acknowledged my pain, let go of secrets and burdens, and handed it all to Jesus.
This retreat has been a blessing for me as a pastor. Ministry is often hard and our own souls grow weary. This retreat helped me strengthen the soul of my leadership by refocusing on increasing my intimacy with God.
This retreat showed me just how much God wants me to know Him better. I learned how some of my forgotten hurts kept me from feeling His love, and I had a chance to grieve the pain and release it to God.

Thrive was born out of a simple observation: the people pouring into others were running on empty themselves.
Founded by Cathy Gates, a former public health nurse turned ministry leader, Thrive creates safe, Spirit-led spaces where ministry leaders and their families can be honest, heal, and grow.
