Inspiring real talk about life and faith in the digital age

Our Vision

To empower, equip, and inspire you to engage in meaningful spiritual conversations with confidence.

What Drives Us

FIRST, WE FOLLOW JESUS

When our days get cluttered with chaos, Jesus has a way of cutting through the noise and bringing us hope.


When Jesus came, He brought peace—and He continues to do that in our lives today. The promise of Jesus’ love isn’t just “good news.” It’s great news… news meant for everyone.
SECOND, WE LOVE CONVERSATIONS

Deep conversations. Open, honest, and safe dialogue with people from all sorts of backgrounds and lived experiences.


That’s the heartbeat of Thred: inspiring compelling dialogue that helps people engage with each other in more meaningful ways online.

In our experience, the best spiritual conversations are the ones that carve out space for people to share their experiences and to be truly heard.

THIRD, WE OPERATE AT THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH & CULTURE
We seek to connect the dots between everyday online interactions and our faith by equipping Christians to embrace their place in the gospel narrative today.
