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 2012, Tim and Kelli Shelton found themselves in a season of spiritual burnout. They were deeply involved in ministry but were not experiencing the life that Jesus offers.
There was a gap in their life and they wanted it to close. They desperately wanted to know God deeply and become who He created them to be.
At the suggestion from a mentor, they start creating space in their lives to be still and listen to God. So, they started retreating with co-founder Bill Holbrook and a few other friends. What they found in the quiet spaces was life-changing: God was speaking.
Over the next few years, God began to radically change their lives. 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 address the deep things of the heart, their lives slowly began to change.
They began to experience freedom in Christ, a renewed purpose, and a greater ability to live from who they were created to be.
Their journey led to a vision to help you experience spiritual transformation in Jesus.
At Seek Well, we offer you a sacred invitation to create space to be still and listen to God.
We believe that when we settle down and allow God to speak, real change takes place. In the quiet, God will transform our hearts and, with obedience, we will become who He has created us to be.
Living from who He created us to be - that is life to the full.

The Seek Well Badge
The Seek Well badge is a symbol of the key elements of 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).
