Who We Are

You know all the junk religious folk have attached to faith?

All the legalistic hoops you have to jump through to belong. The confrontational surprises that come when someone doesn’t agree with you. That doesn’t happen here. You’ll find we have more questions than answers. Every one of us is coming to Him with a unique story and experience. We embrace all that you are as we pursue Christ together.

God cherishes you, just like you are. You are His child, and He just wants you to return, to come home. Seeds and Water exists to help your journey back.

What We Do

Content and Experiences

We develop engaging content to help people get an unvarnished view of Jesus without all the religious strings attached. We host seasonal Zoom experiences that help people rediscover and restore their faith surrounded by an inclusive and supportive community.

Spiritual Care

We love to connect with people to listen and encourage. We’ve found that many people have been mistreated in faith institutions or don’t feel safe revealing their questions and doubts. We are hear to listen, support, and serve in your healing or faith journey.

Coaching

We coach and collaborate with non-profits and leaders to help them create a healthy culture, holistic impact, and restorative environments.

Faith Community

We envision seeing supportive communities start up all over the country where our participants can continue their faith journey. We can teach you how to start your own or help you find one locally.

Our Culture

Gutsy

We understand that stepping outside of tradition takes courage. We are unafraid of breaking through barriers and challenging the established culture.

Curious

We all have questions, uncertainty, doubt, and wonder. We welcome curiosity and want to explore God together.

Humble

We look to Jesus as our example of humility. We are humbled by our own humanity, thus creating an open space where people can talk authentically about faith.

Supportive

We want God to guide and fully heal our wounded places. We are simply supportive companions on the journey toward health.

Diverse

Each one of us reflects God's creativity in unique ways. We want our conversations and actions to celebrate that truth.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials Scroller

“Shala is the kind of friend you want on your team. She is sassy in the best kind of way—she suffers no-nonsense and speaks the truth, but does so with such a warmth and kindness that it makes your heart smile. She will refuse to let you underestimate yourself. You get the sense that Shala is going to bat for you in the realm of the spirit, employing encouragement, humor, lived experience, and a smart right hook to the chin of whatever it is that's coming after you—even if it's your own darn self.”

— Bethany

“I was going through a very difficult time in my life and he helped me process my pain, my doubts, my calling. Most of the time showing vulnerability and opening up to someone is incredibly hard but that wasn’t my experience at all with Aaron, he really listens and that’s not something you find every day, he never judged me for my struggles, he showed compassion and empathy and always knew exactly what to ask when I felt lost. He is definitely someone that knows how to follow the Spirit’s lead when helping someone.”

— Brenda

“Under Shala’s leadership, I loved that our work wasn’t just about delivering programming. Shala encouraged us to meet people where they are and to teach the gospel with simplicity, integrity and grace. She taught us to work through challenges and the barriers of the status quo so that our students could meet and follow Jesus. Shala's extreme passion for discipleship and pouring into others is obvious. No matter how busy the season, Shala took the time to check in with us and continue to point us towards Jesus. Shala is truly a shepherd; she builds up, teaches and cares for the flock in her care, so that they can do the same for others.”
