May 6, 2025 • 26 mins
Mike reviews the story of the Samaritan Woman at the Well from John 4. The overall theme of the message is around how we make assumptions about others based on biases that are embedded in our minds. Have we misjudged this biblical character based on our assumptions rather than on the facts? Maybe. Maybe not. Do we really know her story, the full story of her life?

S2 Ep3: LOVEmentalism S2E3 - Peter's Reinstatement

July 2, 2023 • 21 mins
The interaction between Jesus and Peter in John 21 is another passage that used to perplex me. I often wondered why Peter was so hurt with Jesus' third question. Have you ever wondered? It takes a deeper look at the language than our popular modern translations give us. While you're at it, consider Jesus' instructions to Peter after each of his answers.
