An Update from Founder, Gretchen Saffles

Dear friend, 

I have an important update regarding the Well-Watered Women shop to share with you. 

Ten years ago, I began Well-Watered Women as a newlywed out of our small apartment in Tennessee with big dreams and an idea for a quiet time journal to help women study the Bible. I never imagined God would grow the small seeds he planted in my heart into a ministry reaching women worldwide with the hope of the gospel. I’ve had the joy of working alongside many incredibly gifted women to create engaging and theologically-rich Bible study resources to help women grow in their love for God and his Word. It would take me hours to tell you the myriad of ways God has faithfully provided.

With the growth of Well-Watered Women over the years has also come the growth of my family and responsibilities at home. In recent years, as I have prayed and sought wise counsel from mentors and trusted advisors about what is next for Well-Watered Women, God has made it clear that I need to press pause in order to rest in the Lord, seek his direction, and prioritize my family. To support this decision, we decided to pause content creation at Well-Watered Women and clear out our online shop inventory at the end of 2024.

We understand many of you may be disappointed, but we have encouraging news. While our shop is pausing the Well-Watered Women website, free resources, online articles, and social media will continue to be available to encourage you in the Lord. We also have a new study available in January 2025 called Sweeter than Honey: A Bible Study on Enjoying God in His Word, available wherever books are sold!

As we pause and consider where God is leading, we're grateful for your continued support of the ministry of Well-Watered Women.

and answers

questions

We have a very limited amount of inventory left, so stock up on your favorite gospel-centered resources while you still can! Once these items are gone, you can continue to purchase signed copies of Gretchen’s books from the Well-Watered Women Co. 

Can I still purchase Well-Watered Women products?

Yes, you can continue to access articles and other free resources on our main website at wellwateredwomen.com.

Will articles and free resources still be available?

Well-Watered Women is not closing. However, we are pausing content creation and production and the shop will not be active for the foreseeable future. We are seeking the Lord regarding the future of Well-Watered Women and trusting in his guidance as we pause and seek him.

Is Well-Watered Women closing?

Yes, we will still be sharing on social media @wellwateredwomen, but not at the same frequency as we currently do.

Will Well-Watered Women still be on social media? 

We don't know yet! While Gretchen is taking a break, she is trusting and seeking God's timing and greater plan for the ministry of Well-Watered Women. 

Does Well-Watered Women have plans to create or sell products again?

You can support us by praying for Gretchen and the Well-Watered Women team during this time of transition and as they trust God’s greater plan for the ministry of Well-Watered Women. Another way to support us during this time is to invite your friends to join you in studying Sweeter than Honey in 2025. 

How can I support Well-Watered Women during this time?

Yes! Gretchen’s other books include The Well-Watered Woman: Rooted in Truth, Growing in Grace, Flourishing in Faith, The Well-Watered Life Devotional Journal, and Word before World: 100 Devotions to Put Jesus First. Gretchen will continue to be active on her Instagram account @gretchensaffles and on her website www.gretchensaffles.com. Gretchen also has a new Bible study co-authored with Maggie Combs releasing in January 2025. Sweeter than Honey: A Bible Study on Enjoying God in His Word will be available wherever books are sold.

Is Gretchen still writing and publishing new works?
