Are we creating a space where grace is actually true?

One of the central tenants of the way of Jesus is the idea of grace.  It’s the idea that no matter what we’ve done, the love of God remains true.  Yet it can often be hard to find spaces where grace is actually true, where we can step into the reality of our own brokenness without getting crushed by guilt and shame.

So often I am asked what a Thrive group really does.  Much of the journey is learning to communicate effectively what we do.  And the more I continue this process, the more I realize we are creating spaces where grace is actually true.

If you use Facebook, there is now an official group for Thrive Ministries.  Click here to join so you can receive updates on events, meet other people who participate and get informed.
