Thieves in the Sheep Pen
In John 10:1-13 Jesus tells the parable of the sheep pen. When this was portrayed on The Chosen, it was unfamiliar to me. It’s been great to study it.

I Owe it All to Jesus
This is one of the songs that really struck me when I started attending The Well. My first few weeks, I was open to feeling but I was mostly thinking.

His Arm Never Tires
I want to revisit this story of Moses needing support, needing help holding up his tiring arms so that power could be manifest through him. In the LDS/Mormon church, this story is used to show that prophets need support. They can’t do it alone; we need to sustain them and hold them up. The first Continue reading
