About This Course
Words like “thriving” and “flourishing” increasingly flash before us, but what do they have to do with the Christian faith? Pretty much everything. As Christians, we believe that God created us as humans in God’s image to live “fully alive” as our unique selves in life-giving relationships with God and others–for God’s glory. Based on theology and psychological science, this course invites and guides you toward a discovery of what it means to thrive, and it helps you to uncover your purpose. In this Thriving as a Christian: A Practical Guide for Becoming Whole course, join Dr. Pamela King as she walks through the key aspects of thriving and some practical ways to start living into the life set before you.
