2020 was a GREAT year, right? If we understand our salvation through the lens of conformity to Christ, then 2020 should have been a seriously GREAT year for us Christians. 2020 provided lots of opportunities to SEE the ugly in ourselves and lots of opportunities to...
Where our comfort zone ends, the will of God begins We are creatures of comfort and habit. And since we love our suffering, testing and trial free zones, we are easily lulled into being content with the status quo of our religious traditions and habits. If we were to...
“Enough” of a Christian doesn’t mean “enough” with God. The self-satisfaction we can feel as Christians is killing us because we can really believe that whatever we do for God is good enough. We can feel confident that since we’re probably enough of a Christian for...
Irritations are opportunities. That was my big take-a-way from what Lindsey Papantoniou shared this past Saturday during our FB Live. I have an endless list of things that irritate me daily! It can start as simple as someone leaving 2 drops of lemonade in the jug in...
Our identity is defined by something. So, when people look at you, who do you reflect? If someone snooped on your social media, where would they say your allegiance lay? When you talk about people or causes or politics or Covid or whatever, is it Jesus in you that’s...
Followers of Christ are called to be reconcilers. The pages of Scripture are replete with examples and commands of how our reconciliation with God is supposed to come to bear on the realities and people surrounding us. That’s what all of those “one another” passages...
Do your opinions about current events scream louder than Christ’s Lordship over your opinions? If we truly recognize that Jesus is Lord, then it means He has the right to rule and reign over every area of our lives, including what we post on social media. While the...

“God doesn’t do great things through great people; He does great things through surrendered people.” That mic-drop statement was said by Susanna Kozlow at a Well Pop Up. Wow! What a paradigm shift! So, our abilities, talents, resources, and status don’t make us great. Those are only transactional and temporal.
If you’ve been around The Well for any length of time, you’ve probably heard the acronym “F.A.T.” used, which stands for faithful, available and teachable. These are at the heart of true discipleship and when we lack of one of these qualities we end up stuck in our faith, regardless of any desire to move forward. So, what does a F.A.T woman look like?
If you’re BORED with your Christian life, then I can promise you – you aren’t living the version of Christianity found on the pages of the Bible. If you’re FRUITLESS in your Christian walk, then I can promise you – you aren’t following the historical Jesus who lived and died and resurrected from the dead.
