In this episode, we explore the powerful story of the woman at the well and how her encounter with Jesus changed not just her life, but her entire village. Without complex theology or deep knowledge, she shared one simple truth: Jesus knew who she was, loved her anyway, and offered her living water to remove the burdens she carried. Despite her shame, she boldly took that story back to her people, leading them to Christ. We reflect on how we are called to do the same—using our personal experiences with God to share His love and grace with others, regardless of our past or our fears.
