More About Tonya Wells

Although I grew up in the Christian church, and have attended at least five different denominations over my lifetime, I struggled for many years to apply biblical principles in my everyday life. I was drained and empty as a result of all my religious activities. I felt like I was never good enough for God or others, but kept trying. 

However, when I would read scriptures such as Proverbs 4:23, “Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life,” and Colossians 3:8. “…rid ourselves of anger, rage, malice and slander,” I would think things such as: These verses are great and wonderful, but how do I do that? What do I do with all the years that I didn’t know how to guard my heart? How do I rid myself of hurtful emotions like these? How has not living these biblical principles affected me today? 

Questions like these, and many more, sent me on a passionate pursuit for an answer. For over two decades now, I have been on a quest to discover biblical principles and strategies that strengthen my relationship with God, myself, and others. And I came to realize that I wasn’t the only one in the Church that felt that way, even today. 

I am a wife to a very supportive husband and mother of three adult daughters and live in Charleston, WV. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling, as well as an undergraduate degree in Adult Fitness from Marshall University. Professionally, I am a therapist with a mental health agency where I help adults manage severe mental illness. Even though I hold degrees and currently work in the mental health field, these things did not make me who I am today. My passion did not come from my degree but from a wholehearted desire to be more like Christ each and every day.
