“In the program I really enjoyed the exploration of how we can glorify the kingdom of heaven through expressing ourselves and defending ourselves from Satan using our gifts and talents. I learnt how I can discover my personal gifts and talents as well as how I can defend myself against the enemy, and it helped me tremendously in my life and journey with God to this day.”

“Something I really enjoyed about the program was how it encouraged me to be more consistent in spending time with God and being spiritually fed. It gave me opportunities to learn about my faith while also making me think more deeply about different things. I enjoyed being able to reflect on what I had learnt and apply it to my life. Overall the program really helped me become more intentional with my relationship with God and how I can bring this light into the world.”

“The program was incredibly beneficial for our church. We gained a new perspective on our faith and developed a more nuanced understanding of how our spirituality can shape and help us thrive in every aspect of our lives. The teachings resonated deeply with me and challenged me to hold myself accountable in certain areas of my life. The lessons were delivered by Shady, an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable teacher who knows how to consistently engage his audience and always leaves them wanting to learn more. I would definitely recommend Authority House programs to anyone seeking guidance, whether spiritually or in other areas of life.”

Leaders

“Through the program, I discovered my true identity in Christ. It helped me better understand who I am in Jesus and how my faith should be reflected in my everyday life. The program strengthened my relationship with God, deepened my spiritual walk, and inspired me to live in a way that reflects His love and light to those around me. As one of the leaders, it was also a blessing to witness the impact the program had on the young people who attended. I saw them grow in confidence, become more engaged in their faith, and develop a deeper understanding of God’s love. Watching them become more open, intentional and passionate about their relationship with God was one of the most rewarding parts of the journey.”

Participant & Youth Leader

“Our church youth had the opportunity to participate in the Thrive Program earlier this year, and it was a fantastic experience for our young people. The program provided a meaningful and engaging environment for them to explore their purpose, their relationship with God, and how to reach their full potential in an often confusing and noisy world. The content of the program was relatable and encouraged them to think deeply about their faith, identity, and future. It was also accommodating as we were able to complete it online over zoom, which was an excellent adaptation that suited everyone! Mina was an excellent facilitator and has become a great friend of ours! He is knowledgeable, experienced in working with youth, engaging, supportive, and encouraging. He created an environment where the young people felt comfortable participating, asking questions, and sharing their thoughts. What has been particularly encouraging is seeing the positive and deeper change in the youth since completing the program. I have noticed them becoming more grounded, thoughtful, and intentional in their faith and in the way they approach life. It has been wonderful to see the impact extend beyond the program itself. The youth genuinely loved the program and got a lot out of it. We would highly recommend the Thrive Program to other youth groups, schools and community groups, and would definitely consider doing something similar again with our next group of young people.”

Participant & Youth Leader

“It has been an outstanding program for both our leaders and young people. What makes it stand out is the way it combines practical, real-life content with highly engaging and interactive activities that genuinely connect with young people. The program encouraged our youth to think differently, challenge their perspectives, and see everyday situations from a new point of view. They were not simply listening—they were actively participating, discussing, reflecting, and applying what they learned. As a leader, I found the program practical, relevant, and easy to engage with, and the young people genuinely enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to any organisation working with young people looking for a program that is not only engaging, but creates meaningful and lasting impact.”
