01Faith
The Foundation
Why faith is the ground floor beneath every other pillar — naming the old realities that must be transformed and building the practices that sustain them.
Read Psalm 23 each morning and note one word that stands out.

Inside the curriculum
Six weeks, one reality at a time.
Each week is anchored in one pillar and built the same way: teaching, a hands-on exercise, honest conversation, and one practice to carry into the days ahead.
02Faith
Keeping a Living Relationship
The Word, prayer, and faith community taught as daily disciplines rather than abstract theology.
Practice the A.C.T.S. prayer model once a day — five simple minutes.
03Femininity
Identity, Value & Belonging
Moving from labels spoken in the past to identity rooted in being God's daughter, with teaching on self-care, healthy relationships, and boundaries.
Speak one identity scripture aloud each morning before your feet hit the floor.
04Finances
A Bible and a Bag
Stewardship, credit, banking, budgeting for reentry, employment and income, and business basics — because desperation narrows options.
Write a one-year and five-year financial vision and one step for the first 30 days.
05Family
Covenant & Restoration
Forgiveness, restoration, protecting the family through healthy boundaries, and generational legacy — held as a process, not an event.
Pray for each family member by name and journal what you hear.
06Graduation
Launching Into a New Reality
Integration week — celebrating what has changed, completing a personal T.H.R.I.V.E. Blueprint, and graduating with a support circle in place.
Complete your T.H.R.I.V.E. Blueprint before the ceremony.

Ground rules
A space that has to be earned.
- What is said in this room stays in this room — confidentiality is sacred.
- We speak from our own experience — no speaking for others.
- There is no shame here — only truth and growth.
- We are all works in progress — including the facilitator.
- God is in this room — we welcome His presence and leading.
- We do not compare our stories — every journey is valid.
What each participant carries
Materials for the full six weeks.
- A Bible — provided or encouraged to obtain.
- A journal or notebook and pen.
- A T.H.R.I.V.E. participant workbook, printed or digital.
- A bag or folder to collect materials across all six weeks.
Week six
A ceremony, not just a certificate.

Before graduation
The T.H.R.I.V.E. Blueprint
A one-page, personalized plan each graduate completes and carries out with her.
- My Faith Practice — how I will stay in the Word, in prayer, and in community after release.
- My Identity Declaration — the three core truths about who I am that I will carry with me.
- My Financial First Steps — my 30-60-90 day plan after release.
- My Family Restoration Intention — one relationship I am committing to restore, and how.
- My Support Circle — names and contact information for my accountability community.
- My Emergency Plan — what I will do when I feel pulled back toward old realities.
