What Is a Thorn Letter?
A real question that needs wisdom, clarity, and care.
A Thorn Letter is a real-life question, struggle, or situation involving money, family, faith, marriage, business, career, or another part of life that feels difficult to navigate alone.
Bri responds with biblical wisdom, practical financial guidance, and honest perspective to help you think through the situation with greater clarity.
I want to help my family, but I am beginning to feel like their financial needs are keeping me from building a stable future of my own. How do I know when helping has gone too far?
What You Can Share
Your Thorn Letter can begin with whatever feels difficult to untangle.
You do not need to have the perfect words or know exactly what kind of guidance you need. Simply share the situation as honestly as you can.
Money and Debt
Budgeting, credit cards, loans, financial mistakes, saving, spending, or feeling overwhelmed by money.
Marriage and Relationships
Financial disagreements, hidden debt, unequal responsibilities, boundaries, or difficult conversations with someone you love.
Parenting and Family
Raising children, helping parents, college costs, family pressure, inheritance, caregiving, or generational expectations.
Career and Business
Career changes, income decisions, entrepreneurship, burnout, workplace challenges, or uncertainty about your next move.
Faith and Stewardship
Tithing, obedience, contentment, generosity, trusting God, or trying to make a wise decision without compromising your faith.
Life Decisions
A complicated situation that does not fit neatly into one category but still needs wisdom, clarity, and an honest perspective.
Your situation does not need to sound dramatic or extraordinary. If it has been weighing on you, it is worth sharing.
