The holidays are here and we are excited to celebrate a full of year of The Well Podcast!! Join us for our final episode of 2023 as we discuss the many gifts we have been given as children of God. This is a season we can often see the tangible gifts as our greatest priorities! While beautifully wrapped gifts can be very special, our guest Lin Beaty Ottenweller reminds us of the power and treasure we possess when we acknowledge and experience the gifts God has already given us as His image bearers. Enjoy this year’s final discussion on the podcast and join us next year for more meaningful conversation around The Well! You all are a true gift to us!! Happy Holidays!

This month at The Well we discuss the importance of being rooted in our spiritual disciplines during unpredictable and tiring seasons. From major life transitions, college final exams, and navigating early years of motherhood - seasons of chaos can leave us feeling helpless, exhausted, and overwhelmed and often disconnected from many of our spiritual disciplines that root us in Christ. Joined by a special guest visiting from Boston, Bridget Koha, we laugh and connect over practicals that have helped us cling to God and thrive during seasons of chaos.

This month on the podcast we are joined by another faithful woman, Kerling Eldred, as we discuss the transformative power of choosing joy despite circumstances. Kerling shares the journey God has taken her on through difficult seasons while empowering her through her convictions. She explains how she is rooted in the type of joy that can only be provided by the Holy Spirit.

This month on the podcast we focus our conversation on how to navigate unexpected and uncomfortable seasons of faith. While loving and knowing God is a lifelong journey, we acknowledge that we will have seasons in that journey that make it harder to see the good in our faith. Susan Adkins joins our conversation and shares how she has learned to faithfully navigate family health challenges, her journey of infertility and walking through her family’s own adoption journey while fighting to stay anchored in God’s love and goodness. We discuss many passages of scripture that will encourage your faith no matter where life’s winding roads may lead you. 

After a month off of recording, The Well hosts jump back into the studio to discuss the heartfelt experiences that come along with the topic of Grief. Special guest, Cynethia McClendon, joins the conversation and shares her journey through the faithful struggle of loss. This episode is a sincere look into the very real sorrows that come with life in hopes to give listeners access to the road to Christ in the middle of the darkest seasons. While grief is something we’d all prefer to avoid, the gospel message plays a critical role in these moments and we hope listeners find that to be true for them as well.

As we celebrate the fathers in our community during Fathers Day, we want to reflect on the nature of our Father in Heaven. During this episode we will take some time to discuss our own experiences with our earthy fathers and how that has impacted our perspective of God the Father. No matter what your background is with your earthly father, we are grateful for the chance to experience the character and consistency of God as He has so graciously adopted us as his daughters.

In honor of Mother’s Day, this month’s episode highlights various seasons of motherhood and the unique opportunities they present to allow the gospel to transform us. The desire for ease, perfection, control, and predictability often leave mothers feeling discouraged and disorientated by challenges they face. As we allow the gospel message to interact with the realities of motherhood, we hope that you find Biblical perspective and strength to face unexpected challenges in whatever season of life you are in today.

This episode of The Well Podcast is a discussion surrounding the topic of waiting on God. Our guest shares her personal journey learning to wait on God in various seasons of life. We hope that as you listen it will serve as an encouragement to define your view of God in seasons of waiting in your own life.

This month we take some time to honor International Women's Day and have a discussion about the value of healthy spiritually beneficial friendships. Our guest, Ryan Holland, shares about her journey of building friendships through various life circumstances and transitions. Join us as we discuss Biblical practicals that have helped us build and maintain relationships over the years that have lead us to wholistic maturity as women, intimacy with God, and laughter with those we walk with in life. 

This month’s episode of The Well is dedicated to exploring the truth behind the identity God offers us as women of faith. Varying seasons of life along with unexpected challenges can lead us to define ourselves in ways God never intended for us to be defined by. Join the conversation as we discuss how parenting, divorce, chronic illness and more can never effectively define us as women more than the words of God can.
