In this episode we discuss:

  • what it means and looks like to have rivers of living water flowing from within
  • the importance of context when reading Scripture
  • allowing the Holy Spirit to teach

Did you know that history tells the story of who the Samaritan woman is?  This story is not a parable or based on a nameless person.  Photina, the Samaritan woman, was highly regarded by the time he reached martyrdom.  I encourage you to do some research about this extraordinary woman.  Was she a sexual deviant or do we rush to condemn women based on their sexuality?  What does the text actually tell us versus what facts are we assuming?

Here's some website to get you started.  I do not agree 100% with any of these articles, but am sharing them so that you can further learn about this incredible woman from other sources and come to your own conclusions.
