The Well

The relationship between faith and mental health has often been strained at best. So many have sought Christian counseling only to hear, "Just pray about it." Others have been told that a serious mental illness like depression is just a "lack of faith." While these answers may come from well-meaning people, they ignore evidence-based mental health treatment. While the Bible never uses the phrase l...

New Year’s Day is an opportunity for us to look both forward to the future and backward at where we’ve come from. In this devotional, we discuss Paul’s words to the Philippians, and how they can help us to know which things to keep our eyes on, and which we can let go of as we head into the new year.

The message of Christmas is one of joy, peace, and celebration based upon the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the time in which we live, however, the meaning of the season can easily be drowned out by the ugly thoughts, words, motives, and actions that we see all around us. This Christmas, we have the opportunity to reflect on how each of us can celebrate the birth of Jesus by the way we thi...

While most of us know about Jonah from the children's version of the story centered on a large fish, the book of Jonah is actually one of the most profound books of the Bible. As a work of literature, it has been called the best written book of the Bible, and its much needed message is usually lost in pointless arguments about whether a man can survive in a fish's stomach for three days. Jonah is...

In the tumultuous times we live in, chaos, violence, and hatred seem to be gaining ground. We wonder what the future holds. We have seen where nationalism and authoritarianism have taken countries in the past, and we hope and pray that history does not repeat itself here. In times like these, we need guidance, and probably most of all, hope. Hope often surprises us, and perhaps now it springs from...
