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
📖 Passage: John 4:1–42
✨ Key Quotes:
“Jesus comes to where we are, not where we pretend to be.”“You don’t need to have all the answers — you just need your story and Jesus’ name.”

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
