A NOTE TO WOMEN
Dear Fellow Sister in Christ,
Thank you for your interest in Thistlebend! We hope that we can serve you in a very practical way as you seek the Lord and His righteousness! We invite you to take a quick moment to view the Thistlebend Snapshot below. Thistlebend exists to provide the training, support, curriculum, tools, and context to help you grow in your relationship with the Lord and experience the joy and freedom that comes from a fully devoted walk with Him.
Our passion is to see women like you glorify God, enjoy Him, and bless others as you learn to love the Lord, deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Him fully in radical obedience.
In His hands for His glory,
The Thistlebend Team
