Tired of social media that pulls you away from your faith? theWell (formerly BePerk) is a Christian social media platform where short-form videos, photo sharing, stories, and direct messaging all orbit around one thing: glorifying God.^1
What sets theWell apart is its "Doves" feature — a faith-driven space for prayer requests, testimonies, and discussions on topics of faith and life. Every prayer request is visible to the entire community, so you don't need a big following for the body of Christ to join you in prayer. A daily "Dove of the Day" question is sent to all users, sparking community-wide conversation.^2
theWell also tackles social media's comparison problem head-on. Users can hide their followers, likes, comments, and views entirely, creating a space where authenticity matters more than metrics. In May 2026, the team released theWell 2.0 — a ground-up rebuild with a cleaner interface, smoother navigation, improved search across people and hashtags, and new features like bookmarks and activity feeds.^2
Originally launched in 2019 as BePerk to combat online bullying, the team at GODS HANDS, Inc. felt a divine calling in 2023 to dedicate the platform fully to Christ. By late 2024, it was reborn as theWell — named after the encounter in John 4 where Jesus offers the Samaritan woman living water.^1
Why Christians Love It"BePerk is just what it is! A perfect full room of God's Kingdom! Brothers and Sisters in Christ all around! I literally became in love with this app in just 5 minutes! If you're a believer, trust me, it's much more peaceful than being on other social media platforms." — App Store Review^2
"Finally a new place where scrolling down a rabbit hole will only leave you closer to God and closer to new friends of faith. It's got a similar format to TikTok with some elements of Insta AND what I love is the option to write doves which is similar to Twitter!!" — App Store Review^2
