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.
Gretchen
Founder
At this time, many of our previous Bible studies are available through our shop website as PDFs. We also have several hard copy books and the Sweeter than Honey Bible study available to purchase as well. And, later this fall, we are releasing a brand new, updated Give Me Jesus Journal! Stay tuned!
Yes! Most of our previous studies are available as PDFs. If you are searching for a product that is not available, email hello@wellwateredwomen.com.
Yes! You can continue to access our published articles here. Resources will also be made available again in the future, but for now, we’re focusing mostly on our email content (sign up here if you’re not already on the list) and some behind-the-scenes projects that are just getting started.
We will still be on social media, but not as much as we were before. In this next season, our desire is to invest in creating encouraging, high-value emails to point you to Jesus, as well as evergreen Bible study tools and resources to help you grow in your love for God's Word. Our plan is to share encouragement a few times a month at @wellwateredwomen and Gretchen will also continue to share on her personal account, @gretchensaffles.
Yes, but not at the same cadence. We do have one major project in the works to release later this fall: a brand new, updated Give Me Jesus Journal! More details to come. Stay tuned through our email newsletter!
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 had a new Bible study, co-authored with Maggie Combs, that was released earlier this year. Sweeter than Honey: A Bible Study on Enjoying God in His Word is available wherever books are sold.
Gretchen is already working toward other new works that will be released in the future!
