My Week as a Single Parent I’ve known many single parents in my life; this was the first time I really felt like I caught a glimpse of the struggles they go through. This past Sunday, my two-week old daughter Joanna (JoJo from here on out) was admitted into the hospital with RSV, a respiratory infection that in infants like JoJo…
My first memory of America was my fourth birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. God bless America. Even as an immigrant, I typically don’t feel like an outsider. Honestly, sometimes I forget that I’m Korean. Not that I suddenly think I’m white… I just don’t think about it. I do remember, though, when my legal status was thrown in…
UPDATE 2/12/2017: Hey guys! Our Valentine’s Day event is now full! Unfortunately our space limits us to a certain number of families, but I’m excited for the future when we can have more opportunities like this.

But what are we supposed to do when we read the Bible and nothing seems to happen? We don’t learn anything new, we don’t find a Tweet-worthy line, we don’t get anything out of it, and it…
“The biggest question of all, however, was wordless. Inexpressible. It encompassed an irrational fear that my prayers and my efforts were wasted..” I apologize for the heavy material that follows, but this is what I need to write about this week. I have a friend from high school that I’ve known for years. He’s a very intelligent young man, quick-witted…
“I was working 8-5, attending grad school classes most nights from 5-10, and then heading home to do homework. Not to mention I was engaged and planning a wedding, as well as serving in ministry, and attending church and women’s Bible study.” Are you tired? Do you feel like your burning the candle at both ends? Do you have more…
LIFE During our LIFE series at The Well, we covered a lot of theological concepts regarding the sanctity of human life, and what that means for us as Christians. Here are some of the resources we produced and topics that we covered, to get a Biblical understanding of these issues: Life Imago Dei Can Christians be pro-choice? – Part 1 Can Christians…
THE BIG ISSUE In part 1, we looked at the issue of life in the womb and the image of God. In this post we will look briefly at another one of the most popular arguments for abortion, which is the concept of “bodily autonomy”.
