A New Understanding | Guest Pastor Stan Mitchell | Week 1 by The Well published on 2026-06-15T16:32:10Z Pastor Ryan is taking a pastoral sabbatical for three months this summer, to concentrate on renewal and writing. While he's out, we're fortunate to have guest pastor Stan Mitchell with us! Stan is a much-loved speaker, advocate for inclusion, and a friend of The Well who is based in Nashville. Ryan asked Stan to fill in for him because he is a talented speaker and leader, and because many at The Well already know and love Stan.
