Monica and Robyn discuss Psalm 50:1-8, 22-23, Isaiah 1:1, 10-20, Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16, and Luke 12:32-40. Themes emerge about the need for worship and justice, speech and action, to go hand in hand. Luke talks about the kingdom of God as "gift" where the Son of Man comes to serve, and Hebrews reminds us about the surety of trust in God.

By the Well is a weekly lectionary-based podcast for preachers. Each week we take a deep dive into some of the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, exploring their ancient setting and how we might preach them today. We aim to take the Bible seriously, but not literally, bringing the best biblical scholarship into conversation with lived experience, pastoral need, and theology.

Our name, By the Well, is a nod to the Samaritan woman in John 4. In many ways she is an ordinary woman, perhaps on the margins of her community. When she encounters Jesus during her daily task of drawing water at the well, it transforms her and her faith. In discovering the “living water” that is Christ, she becomes a preacher and evangelist for her community, bringing them to encounter the good news of God for themselves.
