In first century Palestine, it was common for people to seek shade under a fig tree from the heat of the day. Students of Scripture would use that time to study and the phrase “sitting under a fig tree” began to take on the meaning of “studying Scripture.” Such is the case with […]

This is a cool video- “All one shot, no edits, performed completely in reverse.” These guys put on an incredible live show as well…except, not in reverse…

In the book “Seeing God in the Ordinary,” teacher and author Michael Frost says, “To initiate a quest for the truth, to arouse curiosity- this is the primary vocation of any teacher…We’re too used to having the answers packaged up for us. We’re never asked to look.”
In the Gospel of John, we see […]

So there’s another Rev. Rockstar…pretty cool! He’s on the west coast (Riverside, CA, I think…home of some good music). Hopefully he’ll dominate the west, and me the east, and we can expand rockstardom…I think we’ll be strong allies. You can never have to many of a good thing, right?

For the size town that Augusta is, there is plenty of good music emerging. One of my new favorites is Veara. The band has been around since 2003; playing some good local shows and recording an EP “Forget the Everything” in 2006. Most recently, the band has linked up with Wisteria Records […]

This is a great book by Donald Miller, and The WELL has borrowed the title for our 8-week series on the first 4 chapters of the Gospel of John.
