About Seek Well

We create spaces to help you be still and listen to God.

In a world that moves at a relentless pace, many of us feel overwhelmed, disconnected from God, and quietly long for something more. Often, we know that something isn’t quite right but don’t know what to do about it or how to change. 

We exist to help you reclaim what is lost and prioritize your relationship with God. We desperately want you to experience the life that Jesus offers and believe that it starts by embracing three words.

Be Still. Listen.

Our Story

In 2013, Tim Shelton and Bill Holbrook found themselves in a season of spiritual burnout. They were both deeply involved in ministry but were experiencing the life that Jesus offers. Instead, they lived frantic lives marked with anger and brokenness.

Both of them knew they had a gap in their lives and wanted it to close. They desperately wanted to know God deeply and become who He created them to be.

So, they started retreating to a small cabin in the woods to simply be still and listen to God. What they found in the quiet spaces was life-changing: God was speaking. They just hadn’t slowed down enough to hear Him.

Over the next two years, their journey led them to discover that creating space to be still and listen to God is life changing.

They found that Jesus' words in Matthew 15:18 were true:

 “What comes out of the mouth starts in the heart.”

As they let God speak into the deepest parts of their hearts, their lives slowly began to change.

Their personal transformation led to a vision to help you experience the life that Jesus offers. At Seek Well, we offer you a sacred invitation to learn how to be still and listen to God.

We believe, from this simple practice, God will change your heart and, in time, you will become who He has created you to be.

The Seek
Well Badge

The Seek Well badge is a symbol of the key elements to our experiences. It was designed after years of getting away with Jesus to help remind us of what it takes to seek Jesus well.

  • reminds us that to run this race well, we must look up and see things from His perspective (Col 3:2).

  • reminds us that we need to get away regularly to rest our souls. We love the way Psalms 23 puts it - “He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.”

  • reminds us that we need a community to encourage us so that we stay desperate for Jesus.

  • that encompasses the elements reminds us that He is holding everything together (Col 1:17).
