What does it really mean to belong?

In this powerful and honest conversation, Stephen Hogue sits down with Pastor Gabe Asif, lead pastor of The Well Church, to talk about church planting, spiritual family, and the tension between love and truth in today’s culture.

Just over a year into launching The Well Church, Pastor Gabe shares incredible stories of growth, transformation, and the real challenges that come with leading people. Together, they unpack what it looks like to build a church that feels like family—where people can belong before they believe, yet are still called into the life-changing truth of the Gospel.

This episode dives deep into:

• The power of spiritual family and why the Church must feel like home
• Reaching both physical and spiritual orphans with the love of Christ
• Balancing grace and truth in a culture redefining love
• Healing from church hurt and rebuilding trust in authentic community
• Living on mission—not as consumers, but as contributors in God’s Kingdom
• Navigating the tension of ministry, marriage, and family life

You’ll also hear a heartfelt prayer from Pastor Gabe for those feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of where they belong—and a reminder that God is still calling people into purpose, identity, and family.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider… if you’ve wrestled with faith, family, or calling… this conversation is for you.
