Introducing Wellspring Archive: A Christian Podcast Hub

In 2025, attention is a currency. Each day we have a limited amount of attention to divide amongst many different pursuits: work, family, friends, and media consumption. As Christians, we’re commanded to discipline our minds to love the true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy things (Philippians 4:8).

Modern media will try to convince you that it fits the bill, but the truth is that it’s mostly crude, ugly, and dishonoring to God. Every day, we’re bombarded with ads, apps, and algorithms that push worldly content onto us, and that content shapes our desires and our loves. After all, as sinful beings our natural propensity is to love the things God hates. Through Christ’s redemptive work on the cross and the gift of ongoing sanctification, we can make our media consumption God-honoring. I’m starting Wellspring Archive to help Christians find those resources and steward our attention well.

My Story

Hi, I’m Becky. A few years ago I started down this journey of auditing my own media consumption. I’ve been a Christian all my life, but I frankly found Christian music very basic and Christian content boring. I was more interested in celebrity gossip, reality TV, Instagram, and the news cycle.

The trickledown effect was discouraging: I was finding it hard to enjoy reading my Bible, pray, or engage with Christian media. I also was feeling the effects of the garbage I was putting into my mind: feeling discontent with my life, comparing myself to others, feeling the need to do cool things just to have something to share on social media, and feeling anxious about the state of the world.

My husband encouraged me to start small and just replace one thing at a time. I started by watching Christian podcasts on YouTube instead of Netflix. I replaced news articles with business content that aligned better with my professional pursuits. And I almost entirely stopped using Instagram (but more on that later). After over a year of making small changes, I’ve noticed a shift in my attitude and perspective for the better.

Stewarding Technology for God’s Glory

There are ditches on both sides—mindless addiction to technology and complete avoidance of it. But I believe God is sovereign over everything, including technology. He ordained that we would live in an era of smartphones, AI assistants, and unlimited access to His Word.

Doug Wilson captures this well in Ploductivity:

“Tools enable us to widen our reach. Tools make it possible for our radius of fruitfulness (now there is a phrase for the ages) to extend much farther than it otherwise would.”

“Now, what we call technology is simply an array of tools laid out on the bench for us. Technology is therefore a form of wealth. The reason this is important is because the Bible says very little about technology as such, but it gives us a great deal of blunt and pointed teaching on the subject of wealth. If we learn how to deal with wealth scripturally, then we will have learned how to deal with technology.”

Technology, like wealth, isn’t inherently good or bad - it’s a tool that must be stewarded wisely. As it evolves at a breakneck pace, we can rest knowing that God decreed it, oversees it, and controls it. Our job is to use it for our chief end: glorifying Him.

Wellspring Archive’s Mission

So with all of that in mind, I am hoping to use Wellspring Archive to help you cut through the noise and find God-honoring content to enjoy. I specifically am focusing on podcasts because it’s my favorite form of media these days. I like watching podcasts on YouTube when I have some time to unwind, or listen while I’m doing the dishes or making dinner. There are so many great Christian podcasts out there, and I want to help you find the best ones through careful curation. Let’s fill our ears and our minds with God-honoring content, and enjoy His good gifts of technology along the way!
