A Personal Message After 25 Years — The Final Chapter
For more than 25 years, it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to walk beside tens of thousands of individuals and families on their health and faith journeys. Together, we have witnessed transformation that is nothing short of miraculous — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Tens of millions of pounds have been lost by our members, and more importantly, countless lives have been restored, renewed, and redeemed. These victories belong to you, to your hard work, and to the grace of God poured over this ministry from its earliest days.
Every person I have come into contact with over these years — whether for a moment or for a season — has shaped me. I sincerely had nothing but love for you, and I always tried to give far more than I ever received. If I have ever failed you or hurt you in any way, I humbly ask for your forgiveness. I have poured out everything within me for this mission — spiritually, emotionally, financially, and physically.
But truth must be spoken plainly.
In today’s weight-loss climate — with the rise of GLP-1 dependency, increasing costs, payroll burdens, and the strain of sustaining large-scale nutrition education — the public interest no longer supports the infrastructure required to keep a program of this size alive.
I have carried this vision alone for a long time. I am the last man standing, and I cannot move forward under the old model.
The public doors of Thrive, Shibboleth, and I Am Faithfully Fit are now closed.
Not paused.
Not restructured.
Closed, fully and finally.
There will be no big website.
No business model.
No large programs to maintain.
That chapter — after 25 beautiful, difficult, miraculous years — is complete.
To those who helped me these last two years after the closing of Shibboleth — your love, compassion, and contributions saved my life. You made this closing far less traumatic, and I will never forget your loyalty or your belief in me.
Through all of this, I am most thankful to God.
He has taught me how to be a man.
How to forgive — and how to accept forgiveness.
He has taught me the true meaning of grace.
Now, I return to where it all began.
Going forward, I will work only with a very small, private group of individuals who truly value this mission and whom I genuinely feel called to walk beside. No platform. No scale. Just calling. Just connection. Just love.
If you are a current subscriber, you already know how I will continue to personally support you. Nothing is being taken from you — the personal care will only deepen in this next season.
For those who feel led to continue privately with me:
I am proud of you.
And I am proud of who I am today — because God used this mission and all of you to shape me.
With gratitude, love, grace, and faith,
Travis Martin
