Four THRIVE events are coming, in Rexburg, San Antonio, Boise, and St. George, and John Dehlin wants to make sure you hear about them in advance this time.
THRIVE conferences are for former and transitioning members of high-demand religions. They are about community, healing, and growth after Mormonism: meeting people who get it, picking up tools for navigating a faith crisis, and realizing you are not alone and you are not crazy.
Register for all four at thrivebeyondreligion.com. Tickets are priced only to cover the venue and food, usually $19 to $45.
