Description:

In this episode of The Follow Up, Pastors Adam and Arlen join Bill to unpack Gospel of John chapter 4 — the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.

They explore the powerful cultural and historical context behind this moment, reveal how Jesus breaks barriers to meet us in our mess, and talk honestly about shame, grace, and what evangelism can look like in real life.

If you’ve ever felt like the outsider, this conversation will remind you that Jesus sees you, knows you, and still pursues you.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why this encounter was so radical in its cultural context
• The heart of Jesus toward outsiders and the broken
• How shame can become a platform for the gospel
• Why evangelism is simpler (and more powerful) than we make it
• How your story is enough to point people to Jesus

This week on The Follow Up, Bill, Jeff, and Jack go deeper into The Gospel of John chapter 3—looking at Nicodemus, what it really means to be “born again,” and why John the Baptist’s words “He must increase, I must decrease” are still radically countercultural.

They explore the difference between rule-keeping and true transformation, talk through how faith grows over a lifetime, and share some behind-the-scenes insight into how pastors choose sermon illustrations that make Scripture stick.

🎧 Listen in for a thoughtful, honest, and practical conversation about faith, humility, and what it means to let Jesus take center stage in our lives.
