Wellspring is a Jesus-focused spiritual family committed to a culture of freedom, encouragement, and growth. Freedom is an essential part of who we are, but what does freedom really look like in an interactive community?

Even the most calm, even-tempered person will run for the door if those around them are panicking. Recently, we've all experienced this.

Over the years, I find moments like these more pleasing as a father than watching them win a competition, seeing them bring home a passing report card, or hearing others praise them for whatever gifts or … Continue reading June 17, 2020
