THRIVE: A Life Changing Experience with the Saints

“We need a program that reaches deep into people's lives, helping them live the ordinary,
extraordinary. Jon Leonetti's five-week study on the saints is that program.”

THRIVE
A life-changing experience with the Saints
by John Leonetti

We all have questions about life:

What’s wrong with my life?
Why am I still stuck in the same dead-end job?
Why can’t I communicate with my husband?
Why can’t my wife kick the painkillers?
Why is it that all I can do is just make it through the day?

Where can we, as Catholics, find answers? The Saints!

How are a bunch of dead people (even if they are saints) still relevant today?

Because, no matter the place or time they lived: Saints are just like us.

Because they faced the same problems. They had the same struggles.
But they put them in perspective. And we can, too.

The little fires are all part of one big battle—and we can be on the winning side.
We can live lives where we know the end of the story is victory.

We can learn to recognize the obstacles that stand in our way for what they are: launching points to holiness. It doesn’t matter what the obstacle is, the saints can teach us how to use that starting point to build a bridge to heaven. They show us how to live life right now, and to live it well.

Join us on a five week journey meeting the saints, we will be watching a series of videos and discussing how the saints changed their lives; and how we can change ours today.

The Area Adult Faith Commision* is hosting the five week video series at two locations:

The same video will be shown each Sunday and Wednesday night; so people can attend at either site.
