THIRST WITH HUNGER INSTITUTE

Our values and what we teach.

Identity – Discover who you are

This has nothing to do with a spiritual gift or spiritual discipline. Our approach is not one leading you to focus on finding, defining, or reinventing yourself but discovering who you already are in Jesus. 

Trauma and Healing – Allow Jesus to restore what has been broken

So much of what you hear about trauma today focuses only on coping mechanisms or surface strategies — ways to manage your pain but never truly heal it. Our teachings are not about “feeling better” but about being made new and how to sustain that. 

Spiritual Authority- Learn to stand firm and overcome the enemy

Many teachings on authority either swing too far toward fear or swing too far toward self reliance. We teach that authority is rooted in Christ and flows from intimacy with God. 

Obedience and Surrender- Yield fully to God’s original design for you and your life

Some see obedience as rule-keeping, where God is waiting to punish you if you fail. We teach that obedience flows from love, not fear. Surrender is freedom, not loss. Obedience positions you for healing. Surrender invites intimacy. 

Boundaries – Establish Holy lines

Boundaries are taught as walls to keep people out. We teach that they are a form of honor, an act of obedience, and preserve love. 

Love and Self-Worth – Embrace God’s unconditional love and your worth as His beloved.

Shame and the fear of man cannot co-exist with God. We teach that shame and low-self esteem is broken at the cross and confidence flows from identity in Christ.

Wholeness – Step into the fullness of mind, body, and spiritual restoration

Biblical wholeness is not symptom management. Wholeness is God’s original design, goes deeper than relief, and a journey not a quick fix.
