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. Recent updates have brought significant stability improvements and stronger content moderation to keep the platform safe for all ages.^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
