Your husband has invited you to join him in this challenge. Now what?
Your husband is on a journey that will lead to the real life change he so deeply desires. As he begins to experience more intimacy with God and others, it’s only natural that he would want you to experience this as well. To make this possible, we developed the Wellspring Challenge for Women.

What’s the Wellspring Challenge for Women?
The Wellspring Challenge is a realistic way to achieve sustained life change. Initially, it was developed for men only; however, as men discovered how to live out of the fullness of a whole heart, they wanted to give their wives the same opportunity. Similarly, as women started to see significant heart change taking place in their husbands, they wanted to better understand what was happening and how they could participate in this transformation. The Wellspring Challenge for Women builds on the same core principles as the Wellspring Challenge for Men, yet it addresses the unique needs and heart desires of women.

Discovering how to live from your true heart.
There is something in the life of every woman that fuels her deepest desires – for relationship, for value, for connecting with her destiny. The Bible calls this hidden source of life a wellspring. Few find it. But for those who do, a world of change is possible. The Wellspring Challenge helps you discover this wellspring in your own life. As you do, the Wellspring Challenge will call out of you what God has already put in you – freeing you to become the woman you long to be…and were created to be. That’s why Solomon said, “above all else guard your heart because it is the wellspring of life.”

Here's how to think about it.
When the Bible speaks of your heart, it’s talking about the core of who you are: your thoughts, feelings, deepest desires, and choices. If you dig deep, you’ll get to a place of real heart change; and when you do, it’s like unblocking a fountain that affects every area of your life. That’s why Solomon told his son, “above all else guard your heart because it is the wellspring of life.” If you discover how to live deep, from your whole heart, in community…then everything changes.

Why is the Wellspring Challenge so effective?

• It's a rigorous, demanding approach to discipleship. Real life change takes time, teaching, coaching, and practice. That's why the Wellspring Challenge is not a one-off mountaintop experience, but a true discipleship process that involves time experiencing the Scripture, practical application, hands-on, heart-to-heart coaching, and true community. It's hard work. But it results in real, lasting transformation.
• It digs below surface issues. This is huge. If you are trying hard, but not seeing the life change you really desire, then there's a good chance you're looking in the wrong place. Heart issues need to be addressed. Solomon called the heart a Wellspring of life. If it is shut off, life dries up. If it is polluted, everything in your life is affected. If it's flowing freely, you have abundant life. The Wellspring Challenge works so well because it digs beneath the surface to address the true heart issues you are facing.
• When you think about the effectiveness of this process, there's another, even more important factor to consider: It represents a genuine dependence on the work of the Holy Spirit. This is not a self-help program. It's a process that leads people away from a dependence on themselves to a deeper dependence on God.  In John 7 Jesus described the Holy Spirit's work as a "river of living water" flowing from within. That's the wellspring of a whole heart redeemed by Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit.

What kind of outcomes can you reasonably expect?
Women who engage the Wellspring Challenge with honesty and authenticity consistently describe outcomes such as these:

• Deeper intimacy with God – through His Spirit, Word, and the Body of Christ
• Greater intimacy and wholeness in family relationships – engaging at a heart level with their spouses and children
• Increased personal holiness – breaking long-term sin patterns and learning how to confront the evil that hunts them
• Improved relationships at work and church – knowing how to engage in strength and love
• More fulfillment and freedom – as women who experience their part in God’s story

Change like this doesn’t happen overnight.
Everybody’s had those mountaintop experiences that fade when you get back to the real world.  The Wellspring Challenge is different. It involves two intensive events (one four-day and one three-day) followed by weekly meetings with other women on your team and daily encounters with God through the Scripture. It’s a rigorous, demanding experience that opens up your whole heart, gives you a clear path to change, and connects you to The Fellowship that will walk with you into your part of God’s Larger Story. It’s a challenge.
