Podcasts about woman at the well

In this TGC Classic message recorded at our 2019 National Conference, H. B. Charles preaches on Jesus's conversation with the Samaritan woman, the longest recorded dialogue with Jesus. Charles emphasizes this episode's placement after Jesus's discussion with Nicodemus and how it demonstrates Jesus's mission to reach both the religious and the immoral. Like the Samaritan woman whose transformation caused her to bring many others to Jesus, we should join Jesus in his mission to reach the lost. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guilt HURTS! Dennis feels too guilty to go into church, so aunt Joy tells him the story of the sinful woman that Jesus met at the well of Samaria... and especially about the way Jesus loved her!

Jesus chose a sinful, outcast, half-breed, lowly woman to be the first person to reveal he was the messiah. God values us enough to actively seek out connection with us, right where we are. Right now.

Amazing Grace: The Blind Man Who Finally Saw – John 9 In Episode 138 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 9, the powerful story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus and receives his sight. But this miracle is about more than physical healing—it's about spiritual awakening, identity, and what it truly means to see. As the healed man grows in boldness and the religious leaders grow in resistance, this chapter reveals the difference between outward religion and genuine transformation. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack how Jesus meets us in brokenness, how suffering is not wasted, and why sometimes the people who think they see clearly can still miss the heart of God. This conversation is an invitation to let Jesus open your eyes—not just to healing, but to who He truly is. Where might Jesus be inviting me to see differently—about Him, myself, or others? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Woman at the Well // 5-24-26John 4

Sin is like an infection. If it's not dealt with, it will only continue to grow and consume. Once we let sin in, its natural tendency is to spread. What starts as a small compromise leads to another larger one. Jesus breaks social norms and customs to seek out The Woman at the Well. Through this encounter, we discover the tender heart of God for people on the fringe of society.  Today's Bible verse is John 4:14 from the King James Version.Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

John 4Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”“Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”“I have no husband,” she replied.Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him.Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers.They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”This series was originally preached at James' church Wellspring Worship Centre - a diverse and Jesus loving community found in Toronto.

Whom the Son Sets Free: Truth, Identity, and Freedom – John 8:13–59 In Episode 136 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane unpack the powerful words of Jesus in John 8:13–59, where He confronts spiritual blindness, reveals His identity, and declares the life-changing truth: “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” As tension builds between Jesus and the religious leaders, this passage explores what it means to truly know the Father, abide in truth, and experience freedom beyond religion, performance, or bondage to sin. Together, Jamie and Jane discuss how truth isn't just information—it's a person. And when we remain in Jesus, freedom becomes more than a concept—it becomes a transformed way of living. This conversation is an invitation to let go of false identities, hidden chains, and striving, and step fully into the freedom only Christ can give.. What lie or bondage am I still carrying that Jesus is inviting me to surrender to His truth? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Who was the woman at the well and what makes her interaction with Jesus so authentic? Pastor Eric walks through the structure of the story with Marnie. Along the way, he gives us some background on Samaria and why Jesus chose that specific route. He ends the discussion with the notion of how turning to God turns God to us (yes…you read that sentence correctly).

There's so much to learn from Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman—and even the language He used reveals the difference between what the world offers and what Christ gives. The woman spoke of water like stagnant cistern water, but Jesus spoke of living water—a bubbling, ever-refreshing spring that becomes a continual source of life and purpose for every believer (John 7:37–39). In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef highlights how Jesus offers the only satisfaction that can reach the deepest thirst—fulfillment the world can't provide, no matter how many pursuits promise joy but leave the soul empty. Then he turns to Jesus' example of sharing the Good News with someone from a very different background: Christ lingered, asked questions, refused to condemn, refused to excuse sin, and offered hope as a gift of grace. The result was transformation—repentance, cleansing, and a new future. And the promise extends to you: when you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, rivers of living water flow from within you—an inexhaustible fountain meant to bless others as you share Christ with the spiritually parched around you. Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your offer of living water. Help me to remember that there are people all around me who are thirsty for that eternal life and love that only You can offer them. Give me courage and discernment to start those conversations that will lead people to You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life'” (John 4:13-14). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Sometimes we feel unworthy of God's love—and instead of running to Him, we hide, convinced our sin is too great to forgive. We try to earn His favor, but like Adam and Eve, our striving ends in failure and shame. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us of a life-giving Truth: God's love is greater than our sin, and He has already made a way to set us free. Dr. Youssef takes us to John 4, where Jesus deliberately traveled through Samaria—crossing cultural and religious hostility—to meet a Samaritan woman whose life was marked by broken relationships and moral failure. She didn't realize her greatest problem wasn't men, marriage, or even adultery—it was a deep, unsatisfied thirst only Jesus could quench. This devotional helps you see yourself in her story. Without Christ, we become more entangled the harder we fight sin in our own strength. But Jesus comes straight to the point of need—bringing truth to light, uncovering hidden struggles, and offering real freedom. The same Savior who met that woman at the well is ready to meet you today with living water—cleansing, restoring, and renewing all who come to Him. If you need forgiveness, healing, or restoration, this episode is an invitation: come to Christ—and trust Him to make you new. Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the ways I have tried to satisfy my heart-longings apart from You. May I be filled with Your living water today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:17). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

One of the most stunning portraits of Jesus' love overcoming prejudice and meeting human desperation is found in John 4:4–26—the story of the woman at the well. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why Jesus' decision to travel through Samaria was shocking. Many Jews would take a longer, harsher route just to avoid contact with Samaritans. Yet Jesus deliberately walked into Samaria, sat at the well, and waited—tired from the journey, but intentional in His mission. The Samaritan woman was scorned on multiple levels: by ethnicity, by gender, and by her moral reputation. And still, the Son of God addressed her personally: “Will you give me a drink?” (John 4:7). With one sentence, Jesus shattered social barriers and opened a door to saving Truth—showing that no person is beyond His reach and no stigma is strong enough to repel His mercy. This devotional turns the spotlight toward your everyday life. The Lord has placed you at a “well” in your community—neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and people whose values or backgrounds differ from yours—so you can lovingly point them to the Savior who gave His life for them. Prayer: Father, help me to have a desire to share Your love with everyone, no matter what their cultural background. Open my eyes to see those You have placed in my community who need to hear the Gospel. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Grace and Truth: Go and Sin No More – John 8:1–12 In Episode 135 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into one of the most powerful moments in the Gospel of John—John 8:1–12, where a woman caught in adultery is brought before Jesus. In a scene filled with accusation, shame, and judgment, Jesus responds with both grace and truth, silencing the crowd and restoring dignity with the words: “Neither do I condemn you… go and sin no more.” Together, they unpack what it means to live in the tension of forgiveness and transformation, how Jesus meets us in our brokenness without leaving us there, and why His light exposes not to shame—but to heal. This conversation invites you to release condemnation, receive grace, and step into a new way of living. Am I living under condemnation—or walking in the freedom Jesus already gave me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Woman at the Well // 5-3-26John 4

In this episode, we read John 4 together and invite you to enter the story of the woman at the well with us. As we go, we reflect on soul thirst, the deeper questions that drive our lives, and the way Jesus makes himself available to people who feel ashamed, skeptical, or far from God. This is a slow, prayerful episode for anyone who needs to be reminded what Jesus is really like.        Links: Books and other things referenced in the show John 1:1-7:1 - Concordia Commentary by William C Weinrich https://amzn.to/41B0JwZ Friends of big bear valley eagle cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L2nfGcuE Connect with us: Email us at podcast@signpostinn.org Facebook www.facebook.com/SignpostInn Instagram www.instagram.com/signpostinn Check out our website www.signpostinn.org for more resources!

Who Is Jesus? Pride, Jealousy, and the Battle for Belief – John 7:25–52 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 7:25–52, where confusion, pride, and jealousy collide around one central question: Who is Jesus? As the crowd debates His identity and the religious leaders resist Him, we see how hardened hearts can miss what's right in front of them. Together, they unpack how pride can block revelation, how jealousy distorts truth, and why humility is essential to truly see Jesus for who He is. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts—are we open to truth, or are we filtering Jesus through our own expectations? If you've ever wrestled with doubt, comparison, or control, this conversation will call you back to simple, surrendered belief. Is there anything in my heart—pride, fear, or expectation—that's keeping me from fully seeing Jesus for who He is? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

What does the raucous laughter of Nicki Minaj and Billy Graham have to do with 14th century saint? Find out in PART TWO of our MOST requested episodes ever -- diving deep into the question "Who is Saint Julian of Norwich???" Author of Revelations of Divine Love, coiner of the phrase "All Shall Be Well," and delighter in God's delight, St. Julian is such a powerful visionary and leader we needed two episodes to do her justice. We're joined again by the The Rev. Dr. Amy Laura Hall, one of Lizzie's professors from her time at Duke Divinity School. In part two, we explore "Christ as our true mother," the nature of the devil, and we see how Julian has echoes for us to consider in today's religious landscape. We also get a little teaser for Dr. Hall's new book, out in May 2026, called ERECTING THE PULPIT: MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY FROM TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO DONALD TRUMP. Amy Laura Hall is Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, where she has taught since 1999.

Our Family focus today is the nation of Germany, and it begins at 17:23. Thank you all, our German family, you have an intriguing history, and we are glad you listen.As we are reminded to pray, God will reveal wonderful things from His law, we pick up the end ofJesus' conversation with the woman at the well in the region of Samaria.We are introduced to two different reactions to this astonishing conversation. The glorious response.The woman left Jesus, and His disciples completely changed. We see her now as a bubbling spring of water to eternal life. The people she once shied away from now rushed back to see Jesus because of her testimony. On the other hand:The mundane response. The disciples, whom we will see more of next time, marveled at but asked no questions about Jesus's conversation with this woman, and were so absorbed by their lunch that they missed the throng asking Jesus to stay with them. Our So What?We enter the throne room expectantly in the presence of our King. We listen attentively to the word given to us by our King.We react correctly, striving not to miss our King's desire.We depart joyfully, seeing our King's work. In this case, the salvation of souls. We pray, “Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Thy law.” Psalm 119:18With humble thanks to John Piper and Alistair Begg, who greatly informed this episode.Brethren, let's pray for one another. “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.” Amen1 Timothy 1:17”What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Misunderstood & Unbelieved: When Even Family Doesn't See – John 7:1–24 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 7:1–24, where even Jesus' own brothers struggle to believe in Him. As tension rises and expectations clash, Jesus moves with quiet confidence—refusing to be driven by pressure, timing, or public opinion. Together, they unpack what it means to trust God's timing when others don't understand your calling, how to stay grounded when belief around you feels shaky, and why obedience often looks like restraint, not reaction. This passage reminds us that being misunderstood doesn't mean you're off track—it may mean you're walking in step with God. If you've ever felt unseen, questioned, or pressured to prove yourself, this conversation will encourage you to stay rooted in truth and trust the timing of the Father. Where am I feeling pressure to prove something—and is God actually inviting me to trust His timing instead? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

We're caught up! - to December 2025. We beg the question, “What is time to a Neurodivergent?We finish up with the woman at the well, and her astonishing conversation with the Savior of the world.The importance of the eternal over the temporal.Mark 8:36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18“Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33The Holy Spirit gifts us each with the ability to help build up the church to be effective in spreading the gospel.

Plans change; that might be a theme of this podcast, Jesus' conversations with people in the book of John. We want to explore possible applications. Today, being sincere is an import from Jesus and His conversation with the woman at the well in Samaria. When she answered, "I have no husband," she was not honest with Jesus. His answer, "you have well said," in the passage did several things: for her, it showed that Jesus was the one with the answers; and for us, it illustrates that we are not only honest with God.

For so many of us, Jesus wants to offer us so much more than what our current spiritual life looks like. We miss out by trying to point out all of the things we need Jesus to fix in our lives while He wants to point out to us how small those things are compared to the greater truth of knowing Him and making Him known to others.

Jesus meets a woman at a well; this event gets right to the point. Our lives are much more than what we see physically, and the real existential threat is not to our earthly lives, but to our eternal souls. So critical is this truth that Jesus brings up what the woman would not say. "Go, call your husband, and come here." What unfolded next led the woman to the spiritual. "The woman *said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Verse 19 of John 4. The point of this conversation:"Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. 22 "You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:17-20Our So What?Praying for the physical is part of the call we have, but as we mature in our communion with Almighty God, our concerns will shift from the physical to the spiritual."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

What does Rage Against the Machine and motherly images of God have to do with a 14th century saint?  Turns out ... a LOT. We are (finally) doing one of the MOST requested episodes ever -- diving deep into the question "Who is Saint Julian of Norwich???" And in order to dive into this saint whose revelatory witness of radical love, the wounds of Christ, and laughing at the nothingness of the devil, we have called in an expert: The Rev. Dr. Amy Laura Hall, one of Lizzie's professors from her time at Duke Divinity School.  This conversation was so rich that we had to split into two parts, so join us this week for PART ONE where we get a lay of the land of 14th century England, the bubonic plague, feudalism and its violence, and in this despairing time how Saint Julian received an incandescent vision of Christ's love for the whole world.  Amy Laura Hall is Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, where she has taught since 1999. She is the author of four books, including Conceiving Parenthood: American Protestantism and the Spirit of Reproduction (2007) and Laughing at the Devil: Seeing the World with Julian of Norwich (2018). A noted authority on Christianity and culture in the U.S., Hall has also contributed provocative essays on Protestantism and politics to Religion Dispatches and Religion News Service.

April 19, 2026Tina FerryIn John 4:1–30, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at the well—crossing cultural, social, and spiritual boundaries to reveal who He is. This powerful interaction shows us a Savior who leads with humility, invites honest questions, and offers living water to those searching for belonging.In this message, we explore: • How Jesus restores dignity instead of reinforcing shame • Why understanding someone's story changes how we see them • What it means to be fully known and not rejected • How a real encounter with Jesus leads us to invite othersWe all long to be seen, known, and accepted—and this story reminds us that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our mess. When we encounter Him, we don't have to have it all together—we simply get to say, “Come and see.”

Woman at the Well // 4-19-26John 4

Review of the woman at the well from John 4.We begin today with a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Russia and Ukraine. Most of all, a worldwide revival might even start there, in the midst of turmoil.The conversation in John 4 is as astonishing as our prayers. To the woman, a Jew talking to a Samaritan woman was unthinkable. The holy God of the universe initiating communion with us is just as inconceivable. Yet He does:Moses sees the burning bush; the Hebrews tell us He has spoken in various and sundry ways. At one point, all I knew of the Bible was Romans 6:23, from a billboard.Hebrews also tells us that He is now speaking to us through His Son. "in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:2-4And as Jesus is turning the woman from water to eternal life, He tells us in this passage: "…made purification of sins…" Eternity is His message.Our So What?We ask this question: Knowing that the spiritual is so much more critical than the physical. How might that change the content of our prayers? "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

The Woman at the Well (Sermon Series on John) - Sunday, 19th April 2026[Episode 17 - John Chapter 4 KJV]1. Jesus had a divine appointment.John 4:4  And he must needs go through Samaria.2. Jesus meets the woman.John 4:7  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.3. She has a never ending search for satisfaction. John 4:13-15  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.4. The woman believes on Jesus.John 4:25-26  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.5 She rushes to tell everyone John 4:28-30  The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

We are reviewing our podcasts highlighting Jesus and the woman at the well. Fresh season 8 episodes in a few days. In the olden days, driving out to the Boise National Forest and coming home from the same, God talked to me first. It was a hard truth that I had no comprehension of until I unexpectedly found myself in church. God spoke through a billboard containing His word. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 6:23God often speaks to us with a hard statement. Romans 6:23 is one of those. For the woman at the well, the hard conversation began with "Give me a drink."The astonishing part was not a command from a strange man, "give me a drink", but that a Jew was talking to a Samaritan,We are dumbfounded to hear from God, not just difficult truths, but that the Holy God of the universe stoops down to converse with His fallen creatures. "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him?" Psalm 8:3-4Our So What?Viva la our astonishing conversations. For without those troublesome statements, we would never know we need and have been given a Savior for our souls. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Don't Be Afraid, I Am: Walking on Water & the Bread of Life – John 6:16–71 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane journey through John 6:16–71, where Jesus reveals both His power over the storm and His identity as the Bread of Life. From walking on water to declaring “I am the bread of life,” this passage invites us to trust Him not just for provision—but for everything. As the crowd wrestles with His words and many turn away, Jamie and Jane unpack the tension between following Jesus for what He gives versus trusting Him for who He is. This conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and choose belief—even when it's hard to understand. Because in the end, the question remains: Will we walk away—or will we stay? Am I following Jesus for what He can do—or for who He is? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The sermon may (or may not) be your favorite part of the service, but did you know not all Christian services have a sermon? And there are as many definitions of what a sermon "is" as there are preachers. So we dive into what a sermon is in the most basic terms, and then get into what a sermon is for us, and what we think makes the best kind of sermon.  +++ Like what you hear?

Selah: Alone with God – Withdrawing to Be with the Father John 6:15 n this special Selah episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane pause in John 6:15, where Jesus withdraws from the crowd to be alone with the Father. After a powerful miracle and rising momentum, Jesus chooses solitude over spotlight—reminding us that intimacy with God matters more than influence or activity. This quiet, reflective conversation invites you to step away from the noise, slow down, and rediscover the beauty of being alone with God. What might happen if you chose presence over pressure? This episode creates space to breathe, listen, and realign your heart with what matters most. What is pulling my attention—and what would it look like to step away and be alone with God today? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Easter is proclaimed in the Easter Vigil with a famous chant called "The Exsultet," and while we have lots of other famous chants and proclamations, this one is really special and has a wild backstory. So for Eastertide this year, we're excited to welcome Mother Laura back from her maternity leave and dive right into this liturgical, theological, and social history! Special thanks to The Rev. Kira Austin-Young who so expertly chanted the Exsultet for us! +++ Like what you hear?

More Than Enough: Feeding the 5,000 – John 6:1–14 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 6:1–14, the miraculous feeding of the 5,000. What begins with scarcity—five loaves and two fish—becomes a powerful display of Jesus' provision, compassion, and authority. Together, they unpack what it means to bring what we have to Jesus, trust Him in moments that feel insufficient, and believe that He is a God of abundance—not limitation. This conversation invites you to release the pressure to have “enough” and instead place what's in your hands into His. What am I holding onto that Jesus is asking me to place in His hands? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
