Sobriety is more than abstaining from alcohol. For many, it marks the beginning of a deeper search for clarity, peace, and meaning. It is a journey often defined by struggle—but it can also become a path of healing, identity, and spiritual renewal.
From the Well is a Christ-centered devotional created for those on that path. It offers a place to reflect, reconnect with your faith, and walk through recovery supported by grace and truth.
Why “From the Well”?
The name is drawn from a powerful moment in the Gospel of John, when Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well. Isolated and burdened by her past, she came looking for water—but left with something far more enduring.
“Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’”
— John 4:13–14 (NIV)
Jesus does not shame her or dismiss her story. Instead, He offers her a new beginning—a relationship rooted not in condemnation, but in compassion. This moment is a model for the kind of spiritual support that many in recovery seek: honest, healing, and deeply personal.
Christ and Compassion in Recovery
Addiction is not only a physical struggle; it is often tied to emotional pain, spiritual emptiness, and a longing for peace. True recovery must go beyond behavior change. It requires transformation of the heart and mind.
The compassion of Christ is not sentimental. It is steady, restorative, and rooted in truth. In a world that often labels addiction with shame, the Gospel speaks of dignity, grace, and redemption.
From the Well is built on this foundation. Each devotional invites readers to engage with scripture, reflect on their journey, and draw strength from the steady presence of God. It is a quiet companion for those who seek to rebuild their lives with faith at the center.
