A military wife will spend some of life's precious moments and hardest days alone, never knowing the hope of the Gospel. 

 

If you're as passionate as we are about changing that, here's how THRIVE can help: 

-01-

Gather her 

It's hard to walk into a room where she won't know a soul. At your Thrive small group, she'll be welcomed with relatable content, intentionally created to break down the barriers to meaningful connection, even if she's never attended a Bible study or church before. 

-02-

Disciple her

We've woven the foundational truths of the Gospel into the stories of real military wives enduring the same trenches she's in. She'll encounter the heart of God, learn His character and discover how to approach military life through the truth of His Word. 

-03-

Hold onto her

Thrive is the bridge from your church to hurting military wives in your community. Each weekly curriculum is built to meet her where she's at and surround her with a community who understands.

But our prayer is that you don't stop there. Once she is in your doors, invite her in, hold onto her, and teach her what it means to endure, love and serve as part of the body of Christ!

     join the mission!
All the details here!
let's go find her!

The military wife is most likely to remain in a church where she makes meaningful and genuine connections with others. 

 

Thrive is designed to foster the relationships that keep her coming back to God's people.

In Barna’s Making Space for Community report, produced in partnership with Aspen Group, data reveals that younger Christians are eager for connections at church. When asked which is more important at a Christian church, hearing a thought-provoking sermon or building strong relationships with other Christians, nearly half of Christians side in favor of relationships (48% vs. 42%, with 10% unsure). Among younger Christians, the percentage climbs to 57 percent of both Gen Z and Millennials opting for relationships over sermons.*

You + [thrive] = everything you need to get started!

Maybe you've thought: "I'm not equipped to host a small group!"

Or maybe: you're not even a military wife but simply desire to love them. 

Either way: Don't disqualify yourself from the work God may be inviting you to do. If He says yes, we've got the rest!

We've designed our leader guide with everything you need to host an engaging small group that will build deep relationships and remind the military wife that she is welcome at the table of the Lord. 

Don't let self-doubt be the thing that holds you back.  

Hear from ministry leaders!

Homefront Heroes Ministries - A Beacon of Hope for Military Wives Homefront Heroes Ministries stands out as a vital and deeply impactful organization dedicated to empowering military wives. Their approach, centered around Christian faith and community, provides an essential lifeline for women navigating the unique challenges of military life. One of their most commendable offerings is the "Thrive" video and Bible series. This series is not merely a collection of feel-good messages, but a robust journey into foundational Biblical truths. For military wives who often experience instability and frequent transitions, rooting their lives in unchanging Gospel principles is incredibly grounding.

The curriculum effectively unpacks Scripture, making it accessible and directly applicable to their specific experiences – from deployments and PCS moves to the emotional toll of separation and reintegration. What truly sets Homefront Heroes Ministries apart is their commitment to encouraging Bible study. This isn't just passive listening; it's active engagement with God's Word. The "Thrive" series, in particular, seems to facilitate this by providing a framework that allows women to delve into the Bible, discover its relevance to their lives, and cultivate a deeper personal relationship with Christ. This focus on personal spiritual growth is key to building resilience and finding lasting hope.

Furthermore, the emphasis on growth through relationships is a cornerstone of this ministry. Military life can be isolating, and Homefront Heroes Ministries creates a much-needed space for connection. By bringing military wives together, whether in person or virtually, they foster a sense of belonging and mutual understanding. This community is invaluable, providing a safe environment for sharing struggles, offering encouragement, and building authentic friendships with women who truly "get it." These relationships become a vital support system, helping wives navigate the ups and downs with shared faith and camaraderie.

Chrissie Angell

Executive Director and Co-Founder of Humble Faith Ministries

As a leader in women’s ministry with a heart for helping women walk alongside Christ and a military spouse for two decades, I believe in the important mission of Homefront Heroes. Marriage is hard, but military marriage comes with distinct challenges that the Homefront Heroes team is uniquely equipped to meet because they have navigated it themselves. They teach and minister from a place only someone with personal experience can, allowing them to connect deeply with the women they serve and develop thoughtful resources to meet women where they are while pointing them to Jesus. Homefront Heroes serves as the hands and feet of Jesus to military wives desperate to know Him. I am grateful for this ministry and the vital work they are doing!

A Note From our Founders...

 

There have been many times we have sat in the loneliness of a new duty station, the devastation of a hard marriage or felt the ache in our hearts over deployments, unmet dreams and missed moments that we can never get back.

Yet, there in the midst of the trenches, we encountered Jesus with the hope of something more than just surviving the hard days of military wife life.

Without any change in our circumstances, we encountered joy and life in abundance in the presence of God and the nourishment of His Word. Through His people, He loved us, provided for us, and reminded us that we are never alone.

So, this Thrive project was born out of our pain with the hope to meet you in the midst of yours.

There is so much more to life, military wife, and hidden in the Word of God is the treasure that is the truth about Jesus Christ. Through this project, we pray that you encounter Him and in doing so you discover joy unspeakable.

You are never alone, military wife, and we are so grateful to be a part of your military wife journey.

With all our love,
April, Ashlee & K’Lee

Hear from our community!

Shelby S.

Military Wife & Thrive Participant

We are PCSing in about a year and I’m already starting to feel the sadness over leaving. I loved what was said in the devotion that, “Through His people, He loved and provided for us, reminding us that
we are never alone.”

This is a much healthier perspective. Instead of thinking of what we’re “losing,” I can celebrate the love and tenderness God has showered over me.  He has provided such an amazing group of people to influence our lives over the last 5 years,
and he will do it again!

Lena S. 

Military Wife & Thrive Participant

Being in the middle of a PCS after having completely torn my Achilles, moving with 5 young children and leaving a place we have grown to love and adore, I have meditated over and over again on “just survive.”

After today’s devotional I realize now how much God has been calling for us to thrive, not just survive, through this process despite the circumstances!
