Thrive Marriage Mentorship Program

You are already working hard. You need support. You need easy.

Does this sound like you?

You (Pastors) are already working hard. You need support. The marriages in your church are suffering and you didn’t go to school to be a counselor! The one class you took didn’t prepare you for today’s marital challenges. You need easy. You need a biblical, affordable, user friendly program to help the marriages in your church succeed. 

If so… we’re here to help!

Helping you care for your people.

Many marriage mentor programs are full of tips and techniques or come with an index of scripture to apply to various problems. In Thrive, we dive into the narratives under conflict and poor communication, creating a deeper connection. We teach story engagement that offers discipleship leading to transformation.

 FAQs

  • Great question!

    Thrive Marriage Lab is a 12-month cohort (we open enrollment once/year) with monthly live engagement with Chris and Tracy, weekly video tips and conversation starters, an in person weekend retreat, and more.

    Thrive Marriage Roadmap is a self-paced course using the same teaching videos, expert interviews, and date guides, but without any ongoing engagement or community.

    This program includes the teachings from the above as well as specific videos for mentors/leaders, a leader workbook, and a participant workbook. It is designed to be adaptable to your needs.

  • Absolutely! We get that there is a wide-range of ways to talk about Christian marriages. We’d love to share one of our teaching modules with you! Just email us at info@restory.life and let us know!

  • While we designed this to be a “plug and play” for your ministry, we know that people have various experience and comfort levels with technology. If you or your leaders need help, just reach out and we’ll offer technological support along the way.

  • One of our favorite aspects of the Thrive Marriage Lab is the weekend experience we’ve created for members. This is not a marriage conference where all you do is listen and it's not a workshop where you'll process with other couples. It is designed for couples to work through things together. They are amazed at what happens in their communication and connection in such a short time! If you’re interested, just email us at info@restory.life!
