158: A Radical Encounter at the Well: Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

Mar 20, 2025 • Rohan Bell, Jeanie Schwarz

In this episode of Talking Bible, Pastor Rohan Bell and Jeannie Schwarz revisit one of the most profound encounters in the New Testament—Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4). Why would Jesus—a Jewish rabbi—break so many social and religious rules to speak with her? What does this reveal about His radical acceptance and the gift of living water He offers?

👉 In this episode, we explore:

🌍 Why did Jesus "have to" go to Samaria? Was it a divine appointment?

💦 Why did Jesus ask the woman for a drink—and what does this tell us about His willingness to embrace our brokenness?

🫢 Why does Jesus reveal Himself as the Messiah to this woman—before anyone else?

❤️ What does it mean to worship "in spirit and in truth"?

🙌 How did this encounter transform the woman—and why does it still speak to us today?

Jesus didn’t just speak truth—He met people where they were, broke down social and religious barriers, and offered a personal invitation to life-changing transformation. This story shows how Jesus’ radical love transcends race, gender, and reputation—and how it still changes lives today.

✨ Don’t miss this deep, personal exploration of Jesus’ heart for the outsider!
