In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I share one of my favorite stories in Scripture—the story of The Woman at the Well (John 4:1–42). She came to draw water, but what she found was so much greater—the living water that would change her life forever.
This encounter reveals that Jesus meets us right where we are—at our point of need, in our shame, and in our questions. He doesn’t wait for us to be perfect; He comes to us offering truth, restoration, and purpose.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
John 4:7–26 – Jesus offers living water to the woman at the well.
John 4:23–24 – True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.
James 4:8 – Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.
2 Corinthians 5:7 – We walk by faith, not by sight.
Malachi 3:10 – God opens the windows of heaven and pours out blessings.
✨ In this episode, I talk about:
-How Jesus turns shame into purpose.
-The power of revelation that comes through meeting Him personally.
-Why true worship begins in spirit and truth.
-Stepping out of your comfort zone in obedience to God’s leading.
-How one encounter with Jesus can rewrite your entire story.
Like the woman at the well, you might be going through a season of confusion, shame, or dryness. But Jesus is waiting for you—with revelation, renewal, and a brand-new assignment.
💧 The water He gives becomes a well springing up into everlasting life. All you have to do is receive it.
