Theocology

Prepare yourself for a raw, unfiltered, in the moment takes of Genesis with Thrive FGCU's Men's bible study! During this season Theocology will join alongside Aiden, Dale, David, Kyle, Jackson, and Jaden as we explore and discuss the rich theology of the book of Genesis. Unfortunately these episodes are recorded with simple equipment in the living room of a college dorm, although the quality is much lower than a typical episode of Theocology, we actually think that's part of what makes these sessions special. High volume listening is recommended! We pray that these recording can be a blessing to you as you join us in real time discussions and unrehearsed first takes of these incredible scriptures.

Whether you’re struggling, seeking, or just starting fresh—this conversation is for you.
