Who We Are
Todd and Leslie Gober started The Thrive Foundation in 2008 (formerly known as Step by Step Ministry). What started as a small prayer gathering at a men’s golf outing, with only four people, has grown into multi-faceted Christ-centered ministry focused on relationships. Todd is one of only 300 people in the world holding a certification in DISC, EQ, and AQAi, and Leslie holds a Master’s Degree in Speech Language/Communication Disorders. Together, we equip and encourage people to transform their minds and pursue new ways of relating with themselves and others. We are prayerfully pursuing God’s timing for becoming full-time missionaries. Your support is an incredible gift and investment in our ability to do so.
Our Mission
People are hurting. So many of us struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and much more. And at the core of these struggles is a relationship. Maybe it’s a relationship with self. Maybe it’s a relationship with a family member or loved one. Maybe it’s a neighbor, co-worker, or maybe it’s with God. The challenge is that we navigate those relationships with our current mindset and skillset…which is where the problem begins, and it’s where The Thrive Foundation can help.
- We coach individuals and families in 1:1 and small group settings.
- We teach our proprietary material to organizations, teams, and businesses through workshops and keynote addresses.
- We partner with churches, ministries, and organizations in need of our expertise and resources.
- We support people in their time of need.
Each year, Todd and Leslie provide 500+ hours of coaching and $100,000+ of assessments and consulting, at no charge to individuals and families around the world who otherwise would not have access to these resources. Your financial support is not only a gift to the ministry but it is an investment in the lives of our clients.
