Creating a Community with a High Care IQ

Chris Tripolino, Melissa Lock, and Greg Meyer talk about discovering the need for raising Jacob's Well's Care IQ. 

Wisdom From The Wasteland: Practices

Andy Jolivette shares some basic practices that he has found helpful amidst his personal, vocational, relational, and mental health struggles. 

CareIQ Review

When someone you care about is having a tough time it can be tough to know what to do, and much of life is a lot harder than ‘a tough time.’ Unfortunately caring isn’t enough. It takes learning and experience to be the help you want to be. On March 12 we reviewed what we are learning about CareIQ. No, we’ll never chase all the problems away or find a fix for all the unfixable things life brings us, but we can build our capacity together. Make a point of being here and connect with GroupLife to take it deeper and make it real.

Leftover Wisdom from the Wasteland

Andy Jolivette joins Melissa Lock and Greg Meyer to talk more about Andy's experiences of struggle, anxiety, depression, gratitude, and more and pick up from questions asked at a March 5 gathering of Jacob's Well.

Wisdom From the Wasteland

If you’ve been a part of Jacob’s Well for a while you have probably heard a message from our friend Andy Jolivette, but you may not have noticed it’s been a while since he’s been with us and that’s because he experienced some big “life disruptions” a few years ago. He was with us on March 5 to tell his story of getting knocked down, facing his feelings, discovering the gift of gratitude, and slowly/painfully reclaiming his life.

Free Money: Shame Busters

Should churches be groups that talk about money? Jesus sure talked a lot about it. Maybe rather than adding to the shame churches can deconstruct shame and helping us work together to use the money that's been entrusted to us to help shape the world around us in life-giving shame-free ways. 

Free Money (Week 3)

February 26 – FREE MONEY (WOW) from what you have to do, so that it is free for what you want to do. Did that make any sense? Let’s try it another way: The “Wow” of your money is that it can not only pay the bills and afford you some nice things, but it can help you shape the world more like you sense the  world should look. We don’t get to this stage with our money easily, however. Let’s talk about what it takes and how it happens.

Why Do We Talk About Money?

What's your least favorite subject to hear a pastor talk about? Well shave off some of the crazy fringes and money probably at least makes the short list. Greg Meyer and Chris Tripolino talk about why it is that we dive into the subject of money as a church regularly.
