Having your life changed by Jesus isn't just a one time event. Although it is that, it is also a long, sometimes slow process of loving him and loving others. As Eugene Peterson has called it, "a long obedience in the same direction." The Well is a church that's in it for the long haul. We're here to see lives transformed over generations.

And still there it was: a term so simply accepted by Christians daily, and yet a word we stake everything we do on. But still no one responded. Many times we become so comfortable with our Christian voca...
