Gretchen Saffles

Gretchen Saffles is the founder of Well-Watered Women and bestselling author of The Well-Watered Woman, Word before World: 100 Devotions to Put Jesus First, and co-author of the Bible study Sweeter than Honey: Enjoying God in his Word. Her greatest joy is helping women see the beauty of Jesus Christ through the Word of God. Gretchen’s ordinary days are filled with half-melted iced vanilla lattes, carpool lines, and the joyful chaos of raising three energetic kids. She has learned firsthand that just because your hands and days are full doesn’t mean your heart has to be empty.

Always brewing up new ideas or pondering truths from Scripture, she keeps a stack of half-read books on her nightstand and delights in creating with her hands—whether through writing, baking the best homemade chocolate chip cookies, or playing with her kids. Her life’s mission is simple: to encourage women to know and love Jesus wholeheartedly.
