What does it mean to thrive? What does it mean to be in a thriving season? Welcome to the final series of 2023 for Vantage Point. In this series we will take a look at a word that is quite common in our culture. The idea of vigorous growth and well-being, who wouldnt want that? We understand thrive but do we understand it how we should? What does it mean to thrive in spite of challenges? Can you thrive after hurt, pain, or loss? Is our vision for thriving in line with what God wants for us? Tune in and let's explore together the transformative power of thriving in our journey of faith. In this series, we dive into what it truly means to thrive: spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Thrive will inspire, encourage, and guide you towards a better understanding of thriving, how to identify it, and how to enjoy it. Lock in and let's explore together the transformative power of thriving in our journey. Welcome to Episode One of Thrive: Thankful & Thriving.

Let's face it, we all have been in a place where we have thought or said, "I'm done!" Loss, pain, hurt, sadness, worry, and many other emotions make us feel that way. We don't want to get out of bed, or do anything. What if I told you that whatever the situation is you weren't done? What if I told you that there is still something more? This series is all about understanding that failures are final, setbacks can be setups, and loss can lead to life. You woke up this morning so God is not done, and neither are you.
