THRIVE!’s Mission
THRIVE! shares and spreads faith through media.
Vision
We leverage media and technology to create viral content that spreads the gospel. Starting with news, we envision faith-filled content in media, news, entertainment, books, and music.

The Problem
- 54% of young people are exposed to immoral content online by the age of 13.
- 12% of teens have struggled with suicidal thoughts.
- 3/5 teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless due to internet content.
- 36% of social media users are addicted to the platforms.
- And yet, 40% of believers say they lack faith based family-friendly entertainment options.
Action
THRIVE! counters negative, harmful content with faith-based inspirational stories, commentary, news, and viral-content that leverage the tools of the internet to make good news spread. Our content aims to inspire, inform, and contributes to public discourse around faith, family, life, and freedom.

History
THRIVE! started in 2007 as a print publication in upstate New York. Our goal was to reach Western New York with the good news of Christ + provide the community with good news (for a change). THRIVE! was distributed across the region in bookstores, grocery stores, and individual and business subscribers.
Then in 2011, we launched a second publication – UNITE. UNITE was focused on exclusively faith-based news in our community while THRIVE! moved to reach a mainstream general audience. UNITE was distributed free of charge at churches and bookstores across the region.

In 2016, our team launched an online site called Logos Post. We covered news from the global church around the world.
