“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Matthew 28:19 You may have heard this popular verse from Matthew used to inspire Christians to action. It’s even called the Great Commission. But what does God really mean when He says, “all the nations?” Are we expected to take up a missionary lifestyle and move […]
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” Colossians 3:16 I often find myself moved by music. Songs have the ability to stir emotions inside of us. We know that was […]
This is not the first time I’ve mentioned that I am not a morning person, but I repeat — I am NOT a morning person. My first thought when I wake up in the morning is a quick calculation of how long to snooze my alarm. This type of mentality has led to countless rushed mornings and […]
“My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father — Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” 1 John 2:1 Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you just needed someone to stand in your corner? An […]
“Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the helpless honors him.” Proverbs 14:31 Last night the Deckers adopted our second rescue — sweet fur-baby Finn.

When we decided to launch The Well Today, there was one individual who was instrumental in helping us get our feet off the ground. That person was Christine!

“She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.” Proverbs 31:20 This week on social media, an older video remade its way into my heart. It depicts one of my favorite moments from the Rio Olympics where two women running in the 5,000-meter race put aside pride, nationality, […]

He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.” Isaiah 50:4 When tragedy strikes, I find myself in conversations with heartbroken friends and feel at an utter loss to know what to say.
