Thistlebend resources are designed to help women come to know Jesus, love Him, obey His Word, and walk with Him in grace and truth —for real.

“The whole aim of Thistlebend: to assist women to love Christ, and to explain what this love looks like in everyday life, in the practical nitty gritty of everyday life.” —Thomas R. Schreiner

Thistlebend Distinctives

The Thistlebend mentoring and discipleship method and model promotes genuine, measurable, and sustained heart and life transformation. It encourages women to enter fully into the joy of their salvation, live in the reality of who they are in Christ, and walk according to God’s Word by the power of the Spirit. We are not seeking to build a Thistlebend community outside of the church; we want to see women discipled within the church.

Why the name Thistlebend?

Our name reminds us daily of our mission. Thorns and thistles are some of the consequences of Adam’s and Eve’s sin in the garden. All who put their trust in Christ have been granted God’s grace at salvation and given all they need to overcome the sin in the world and in their hearts. Our passion is to equip and encourage women to walk in this grace and truth for His glory!
