Resource Library

There's a million ideas that can help you. How do you know where to start?

A Note Before You Explore...
The resources recommended here were chosen because they’ve spoken truth into places that felt unaddressed—and have helped us or those close to us in meaningful ways. In our estimation, they offer groundbreaking insights from neuroscience, sociology, psychology, and theology—all connected to human flourishing. That said, our recommendations don’t imply we endorse every single idea within them, nor do we claim to have everything perfectly figured out. We invite you to read and listen with a discerning heart.

Also, we are not certified therapists or counsellors, and we certainly value the work that they do. If you discover that our recommended resources are bringing up unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression or distress, we urge you to seek professional help.  We’ve simply curated a collection of the very best things we’ve found that helped transform our lives. Perhaps they can help you as well.

A Note Before You Explore...

The books that are recommended here were chosen because they have helped us (or our peeps), and spoke truth into specific places that were previously unaddressed. Further, in our estimation, these books are filled with groundbreaking neuroscience, sociological research, psychological insights and good theology linked to human flourishing. But by recommending them we are not saying that we necessarily endorse every single piece that’s been written in them. Nor do we suggest that we got everything just right. Read with a discerning heart.
