Maybe you’ve heard that the Central territory is rolling out a brand-new, online spiritual life development course in February. Maybe you’re even a little bit interested. Here are a few facts that might help you decide whether you’re ready to THRIVE:
- It is a commitment of time and energy
The course runs for 9 months (February – October 2020)
You will be expected to complete weekly readings and discussions (online)
Each module will require one reflective written assignment
- There is a financial commitment
The cost for the course covers online fees and a corporate retreat
Soldiers — $100 (to be paid personally, although corps/divisions may help)
Officers — $400 (can be drawn from official funds with proper permissions)
You will be expected to purchase your own books (approximately $150 if you buy new books — most online book sellers list used books which will reduce this cost)
- It is a commitment to a community of like-minded soldiers and officers
There will be approximately 12-20 people in the cohort
Honesty is expected in all cohort interactions
Interaction in the cohort must be confidential, respectful and helpful — none of us has all the answers, most of us have more questions than answers
- THRIVE is an intentional movement toward spiritual growth and maturity
It will help you develop holy habits that will sustain you through a lifetime
It will encourage and challenge you to go deeper and be transformed
