The Well Church: Nashua NH

Ignoring real warning signs can have devastating consequences. Look no further than the hubris of Stockton Rush and the catastrophe of the Titan sub, who ignored all warnings and lawsuits aimed at its fatally faulty design. 

Ever seen a kid who was angry and content to be so? “I’m grumpy and I’m gonna stay grumpy!” It’s almost comical to watch and it doesn’t do anything good for their emotional, mental, or relational well-being. Yet their resistance to let it go is strong.

Are you the kind of person that goes to the grocery store often to get what you need each day or do you go to the grocery store occasionally and stock up on the things that you will need for the coming weeks? I do a little bit of both. Obviously stuff that doesn't last long like fresh fruits and vegetables need to be bought often. But staples like cereal, cooking oil, paper goods, etc... I try and...

If you’ve ever watched a 5 year old soccer game, it’s pretty entertaining. Often they just form a pack around the soccer ball and lose track of where they’re supposed to go. It’s not uncommon for a kid or two to start taking the ball in the opposite direction and attempt to score on their own goal. Any sideline viewer can legitimately ask, “What team are these kids playing for? And which direction...

Odds are, you do pray. The vast majority of people admit to doing so recently, even atheists (no joke!). The question really is not whether or not you do, but what does it look like? And is it satisfying? Effective? Powerful?

Summer is coming! Most of you are probably excited, maybe some of you are dreading it but no matter what, it's coming! Summer is a built in time every year to get away, to take time off of work, to go on vacation, to see distant family, to enjoy, rest and restore. It’s ok to check out a bit from work and school and the normal daily stresses but if we check out from God and his Church this Summer w...

“Where am I headed? What’s next for me? And who am I really?” are all questions we can wrestle with as we contemplate our place in this world. These questions can leave us questioning ourselves and our future and leave us restless.

The world is not a safe place. Turn on the news and you’ll find ample evidence. Every time we walk out the door, we take a step of calculated risk. Nothing’s guaranteed. This is the stuff that can fuel anxiety. And no matter how much progress we can make in science, economy, or technology to mitigate risk, none of these by themselves can kill anxiety.

Death is not a pleasant subject to talk about. Most of us avoid it if we can. In our “pursuit of happiness” it rarely hits the “can’t wait to talk about it” list. Yet the chances of mortality are 100% for all of us.

Our individualistic, western culture has trained us to keep our faith private and to merely coexist with others, as if what we believed most did not really truly matter in public life. But is that true? Should we keep what’s most sacred to us, truths we believe go beyond personal preference and choice, to ourselves?

But what if you’ve got someone in your life who is …toxic? They’ve consistently abused your time, your energy, your resources, etc. and they do not show any signs of any healthy choices or care for you or others. What do you do with people like that?

Every relationship has conflicts, disagreements and sometimes all out wars. How we handle those conflicts will determine the quality of those relationships. Whether they die or whether they not only survive but thrive.

This Easter Sunday we're celebrating the RISEN SAVIOR who changed everything for us! Join us as we launch our Disruptive Peace series. We're going to be inviting everyone to welcome the disruptive peace of God into their lives, refusing to settle for false peace and learning to deal with what's hard to find - the lasting peace we desire. This week we move to two services -- 9:00am and 10:45am--Inv...

What do you do when life is not what you expected? We thought marriage would be better, or at least easier. We thought parenting wouldn’t be so difficult. It gets infinitely harder when there is loss involved, loss of loved ones, loss of hopes and dreams, loss of health, etc. When we go through these unexpected disappointments or losses in life it is easy to look at God and wonder, “If you real, w...

Let's be honest-we all like being liked. We love being loved. And with very few exceptions, we tend to avoid conflict at all costs. But what if the story we were created for, the life that is TRULY life, runs counter to the culture we find ourselves surrounded by? How will we react when pressure, resistance, and conflict arrive at our doorstep? Do we panic? Rage? Wave the white flag of surrender?

“Should have known better.” Not a fun phrase to utter. Mostly because it comes on the other side of a bad decision. Sometimes a reckless decision. It’s said not when the information was lacking, or the opportunity to make a different decision was lacking. It’s said when all that was in place, and a poor decision was STILL made. Lot of pain on the other side of that statement. Should you know bette...

Many people in our culture have increasingly found themselves more and more distanced from organized religion. Who’s to blame them? Church-going people of faith are often portrayed as naive, bigoted, narrow-minded, anti-science, and other negative things. …and then there are those who call themselves Christians who back up these sentiments with the hateful things they say and their lifestyles that...

A little wind can blow a ship off course if it’s not ruthlessly directed by a compass and if the rutter isn’t holding steady to the course. Though many followers of Jesus might hold to certain doctrinal beliefs that doesn’t necessarily translate to a convicted lifestyle, as many professing Christians show no statistical difference in lifestyle areas such as gambling, getting drunk, lying, divorce,...

We wouldn’t trust our life on a ship that wasn’t seaworthy but we often trust our life to a kingdom that is not life-worthy. Puffing is a practice where exaggerated commendations are made for promotional purposes. Like any good salesman our culture will "puff" up what it's trying to get us to commit our life to. Not really lying but not telling us the truth either.

If you recently saw the Super Bowl you know that one of the main draws are the commercials. Companies spend, on average, roughly $7 million on a 30-second commercial. Why?? Digital Marketers estimate that the average American sees between 4,000 to 10,000 ads per day. And they all have one goal: to monetize your attention. Because they know that if they can hold your attention, they can steer your...

Ever forgotten why something was important to you over time? Could be that you started your job because of a passion, but it’s become monotonous. Maybe your marriage started as a flame, and now it’s a flicker. For many, passion can easily be replaced by survival, as we experience low-to-mid level anxiety at a constant simmer.

We’re going to talk about how to have the BEST SEX EVER. Sex is not something the church often talks about, particularly in a positive light. But God invented it! And He has an awesome plan for it. Sometimes we don’t stay away from broken expressions of sexuality until we know how good God designed it to be ...when we engage it within His good framework.

Ah, marriage!! The pinnacle of relationships, right!? Two best friends, falling in love, and choosing to spend the rest of their lives together. Except divorce rates are still incredibly high, marriage ages are getting higher and marriage rates are getting lower. It's not hard to see marriage is not easy. In the complicated realm of marriage, how do we find the resources to start and develop healt...

As December days get shorter, the beautiful Christmas lights we experience this time of year are not just fun...they can seem essential to keep us going. The darker the times get, the more we need light. Each Sunday this month in our series "Christmas UnBoxed" we will unwrap a gift from Jesus to change our life and our holiday season.
