Famine and Fruitfulness

When grief barged into my life in my late twenties, I questioned God’s goodness and his very existence for the first time. Under the weight of all my questions and doubts, faith felt like a mystery. I didn’t want to walk away from God, but I didn’t know how to believe when things were hard. […]

What Is Faith?

I tried to squelch the hope growing in my heart as I swung into the drugstore. This time I felt different. Against my better judgment, I allowed myself to believe that maybe the result would be different this time too.  I made the familiar walk to the back right of the store and crouched down […]

Amazing Grace, Hymn Series

When I was in middle school, my friends and I had a celebrity crush. In addition to knowing all the lyrics to his songs, we also knew his birthday, his dog’s name, and his favorite candy (or so said the magazines). I know, I know—it’s embarrassing to say now. But I’m sharing this with you […]

Knowing Jesus From the Bible

By Taylor Cage

This article is part of our series on broken wells. In Gretchen’s new book, The Well-Watered Woman, chapter 5 is about “Forsaking Broken Wells.” We long for the living water that Jesus offers (John 4:10) but too often settle for empty wells and broken cisterns (Jer. 2:11-13).
