Living Water

We open with a praise testimony about what God is doing in our life, our marriage, and the work we’re building, then we pivot to a powerful moment from John 4. We walk through Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well and show how living water, truth plus grace, and worship in spirit and truth lead to real transformation. 

• updates on health products, the Get Right Group, and ministry opportunities 
• why Jesus meeting her at noon matters for shame and isolation 
• the shift from physical thirst to spiritual thirst and what “living water” means 
• the lies we chase that never satisfy, including validation and unhealthy relationships 
• truth plus grace as the path to transformation, not condemnation 
• worship in spirit and truth as relationship rather than empty religion 
• Jesus revealing himself to the overlooked and what that says about worth 
• testimony that turns private pain into something you share to help others 
• questions to help you name the “well” you keep returning to

Salute To The Misfits

SPEAKER_00 0:00

It is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the ones who see the world differently, who don't fit neatly into boxes, and refuse to live by someone else's script. You can quote them, you can disagree with them, you can glorify them, or vilify them, you can shake your head at their ideas or be inspired by their courage. But the one thing you cannot do is ignore them. Because they change things. They disrupt what's comfortable, they challenge what's normal, and they push the human race forward. Sometimes with loud revolutions, sometimes with quiet persistence that changes everything over time. They see possibility where others see limits. They dare to dream out loud when the world tells them to be silent. They take risks, they stumble, they rise again, and they keep going. Not because it's easy, but because they can't imagine doing anything else. These are the ones who remind us that every great leap forward was once considered impossible. So here's to them: the ones who won't sit down, won't be quiet, and won't stop until the world is different.

SPEAKER_03 6:57

Would you give me a drink? Did you hear me?

SPEAKER_05 7:06

That's bad, huh? What you would you? Ask for a drink from me as a medicine and a woman.

SPEAKER_03 7:16

I'm sorry. I should have said please.

SPEAKER_05 7:23

You know it's not safe for you to be alone out here?

SPEAKER_03 7:27

Why haven't you come with others? Why so late in the day? Don't women come to the wells in the the fall of the morning?

SPEAKER_05 7:34

Yeah, well none of them will be seen with me, so I have to come with you.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

Why won't they be seen with you?

SPEAKER_05 7:46

Long story.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

I'd I'd still lack a drink of water if you could spare it.

SPEAKER_05 7:57

Aren't I unclean to you?

SPEAKER_03 8:06

Maybe some of my people say that about your women, but I don't.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

What do you say?

SPEAKER_03 8:14

I say if you know who I am, you'd be asking me for a drink.

SPEAKER_05 8:19

Really?

SPEAKER_03 8:19

And I would give you living water.

SPEAKER_05 8:22

Would. Except that you have nothing to draw water with, and this is a deep well. Besides, what do you need from me if you have your own supply of living water?

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Long story.

SPEAKER_05 8:35

But Jewish water is better than Samaritan water.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

That's not what I say.

SPEAKER_05 8:38

Are you a veteran than our ancestor Jacob who dug this well? Your water is better than his?

SPEAKER_03 8:44

I know, Jacob. And everyone who drinks this water will thirst again. But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again.

SPEAKER_05 8:57

Wouldn't that be nice?

SPEAKER_03 8:59

The water I give will become in a person a spring of water, welling up to eternal life.

SPEAKER_05 9:06

Really?

SPEAKER_03 9:07

Yes, really.

SPEAKER_05 9:10

Prove it.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

First, go and call your husband, then come back. I will show you what.

SPEAKER_05 9:19

I don't have a husband.

SPEAKER_03 9:20

You are right. You've had five husbands. And the man you're living with now is not your husband.

SPEAKER_05 9:35

I see. You're a prophet. You're here to preach to me. Usually the one good thing about coming here alone is I can escape being condemned.

SPEAKER_03 9:44

I'm not here to condemn you.

SPEAKER_05 9:46

I've made mistakes. Too many. But it's men like you who have made it impossible for me to do anything about it.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

How?

SPEAKER_05 9:53

Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain. But you Jews insist Jerusalem is the only place for true worship.

SPEAKER_03 10:00

They say that because the temple is there.

SPEAKER_05 10:02

Exactly where we're not allowed.

SPEAKER_03 10:04

I'm here to break those barriers. And the time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

SPEAKER_05 10:15

Where am I supposed to go when I need God? I've never received anything from God, but I couldn't thank him even if I did.

SPEAKER_03 10:23

Anywhere. God is spirit. And the time is coming and is now here. That it won't matter where you worship, but only that you do it in spirit and truth. Heart and mind. That is the kind of worshiper he's looking for. It won't matter where you're from. Or what you've done. Do you believe what I'm telling you?

SPEAKER_05 11:08

Until the messiah comes and explains everything and sorts this mess out, including me. I don't trust in anyone.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

You're wrong. When you say that you've never received anything from God. This messiah you speak of. I am he. The first one was named Ramin. You were a woman of purity, who was excited to be married. But he wasn't a good man. He hurt you. And it made you question marriage. And even the practice of your faith. The second was far as God. On your wedding night, his skin smelled like oranges. And to this day, every time you pass by the oranges in the market, you feel guilty for leaving him. Because he was the only truly godly man you've been with. But you felt unworthy.

SPEAKER_05 12:12

Why are you doing this?

SPEAKER_03 12:18

I have not revealed myself to the public as the messiah. You are the first. It would be good if you believed me.

SPEAKER_05 12:33

You picked the wrong person.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

I came to Samaria just to meet you. Do you think it's an accident that I'm I'm here in the middle of the day?

SPEAKER_04 12:45

I am rejected by others.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

I know. But not by the Messiah.

SPEAKER_04 13:01

And you know these things because you are the Christ. I'm going to tell everyone.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

I was counting on it.

SPEAKER_05 13:18

Spirit and truth.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

Spirit and truth.

SPEAKER_05 13:22

It won't be all about mountains or temples.

SPEAKER_03 13:25

So heart.

SPEAKER_04 13:30

You promise.

SPEAKER_03 13:31

I promise.

SPEAKER_05 13:39

Oh, he must be the god.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Hey!

SPEAKER_00 13:52

You wanted him! You forgot your dummy! What would you like?

SPEAKER_03 14:07

Ah I have food to eat that you do not know about.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

Who got you food?

Hard Questions About Your Wells

Closing Prayer And Get Right

SPEAKER_01 14:16

Have you ever felt like your past just kept you in the same place? In the same loop. Maybe it just kept you from feeling like moving forward or getting a fresh start. Well when Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at the will, there's an unexpected encounter that just changes the world. It changes everything. Because you see, Jesus meets us where we are and offers something deeper than what we're actually chasing. Imagine imagine the scene back in those days. You see, Jews and Sumerians didn't talk to each other. They didn't mingle, they didn't associate, they just didn't that it was not the thing. You see, men typically didn't engage women publicly like that as well back in those days. You see, she's coming to the well at noon. Most women came to the well in the cool of the morning together. She's likely avoiding people, right? Maybe she feels ashamed. Why is she avoiding people? Why is she being a hermit? She got some skeletons in her closet. Maybe you have some maybe you're that person. Maybe you're that person. Maybe your past is something that is riding your shoulders like a center block, like a weight. If you would, and you have your Bibles, if you could turn them to John chapter 4, verse 9, it says, The Samaritan woman said to him, You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink? Remember, I said Jews did not talk to Samaritans, right? Well, here's where the conversation begins. Guys, Jesus shifts from a physical thirst to a spiritual thirst. Watch what happens. Look at John 4, 13 and 14. 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 eternal life. Here's the truth of it. We all chase things that don't truly satisfy our spirit. We chase success. We chase validation. We chase recognization. Recognition. Recognization. Listen to me, I'm making words up again. Sometimes we chase relationships that aren't supposed to happen. But we're chasing everything but the one that has lasting fulfillment. You see, here Jesus offers lasting fulfillment. Lasting, eternal. And that's lesson number one, because only he can satisfy the deep, deep, deep thirst of our soul. So let's take it a step further. Let's talk about truth and grace. She replied. Jesus said to her, You are right. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. Say, what? You see what happened? You see, Jesus already knew the story. The creator already knew the story. And he still engaged her. He knew her past. He knew how deeply entrenched in sorrow and sadness her past was. Yet he still engaged her. He knew the truth. He gave grace. And watch what happens. Watch transformation happen. Guys, Jesus confronts our past with compassion, not condemnation. So that ninety-nine percent things that you're thinking of in your head, beating yourself over the head, just wearing that center block everywhere you go, is false. Is fear. Truth plus grace equals transformation in the name of our Savior. Now watch, the woman tries to shift the conversation. Look at John 4, 23 and 24. Yet a time is coming and has now come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and truth. What is he saying? She tried to shift the conversation to religion, and he just broke religion. To pieces, shattered it into a thousand pieces, splintered it into a thousand pieces. Because worship is not about a place, it's not about a building, it's not about any of that. It's about a relationship with the living God. Guys, God wants you to be authentic. He wants the worship to be authentic. He doesn't want it to be empty religion. Empty religion is the one that killed the living God, and the living God rose three days later. Tear this temple down and I will build it back up in three days, I believe, Jesus said. And here we go. Here we go. The living God reveals himself in the flesh. If you look at John chapter four, twenty-five and twenty-six, the woman said, I know that Messiah is coming. Then Jesus declared, I, the one speaking to you, I am him. Guys, this is powerful. He reveals himself clearly in the flesh to someone society overlooked. And this is the first time to a broken woman. A shamed woman. She was shamed publicly and ashamed. But yet the living Messiah chose to reveal himself to her. And you see, he can do the exact for you as he did for me. Not to those who appear perfect, not to those who go to church every single time the doors are open. But to those who are open to the transformation. And it's a powerful one. It's so powerful that you have to tell somebody. I'm gonna give you an example. I know a lady who owns a farm in Daring, Georgia. It's called Small Stuff Farms. It's a beautiful farm. She asked about Tranat, and she asked about some life insurance. So Tuesday, I went out and I gave her a quote on life insurance. She ended up buying a policy on herself and her husband. And she also ended up ordering the daily health system from TrueNot. And she also asked me about doing some ministry work with small stuff farms. Maybe a revival. Maybe even a church. Who knows? Her church out in the small community is no longer a physical building because something happened. I don't really know. She told me the story, but I'm not going to tell it here. But there's a congregation out there with no pastor. There's a flock of sheep with no shepherd. And God has been pulling me. And I've been praying about how do I do it? How do I do it without a theology degree? How do I do it other than this podcast? I had no clue. And my music that I write and put out, I have no clue. You see, those are answered prayers. He transformed my life. I waited. I was still. I knew that he was God. He transformed my life. I lost a hundred pounds. I feel better than ever. Hopefully, you can hear it in my voice. Go back and listen to a podcast from a year ago. I was a hot mess. But I was open to the transformation from the living God, and the living God took over my life. Because I let him guide me. And I was so happy about it, I had to call my mama. I had to call Nikita. I had to testify. You see, let's get back to the story of the Bible. The woman was so ecstatic that she hadn't met the living God that she even leaves the water jar that she worked so hard in the heat of the day to fetch. And I don't know if you know about water in a clay jar, but if you put it in the clay jar, it's really heavy, like a golf bag. Carry a golf bag around the golf course, or a couple miles, or wherever to the well was. You can just imagine the situation. But she was so ecstatic from that moment that her spirit did not care about anything earthly, did not care about the earthly water in the well, because she had the living water of the Savior. She had to run and tell others. Look at John chapter 4, 28 and 29. Then leaving her water jar, the woman went back to town and she said to people, Come, come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah? You see, that's what happens when you have an encounter with Jesus. When you have an encounter with the Savior, when you have an encounter with the living God, it turns your story from a biography into a testimony. And I don't have to explain the difference. So let me ask you a question. What well today are you going back to that does not satisfy? What earthly thing are you going to that does not satisfy you? That keeps you stuck in that loop, that keeps you stuck in that past? That keeps you avoiding a confrontation with the living God. Are you avoiding that because of your past? Are you settling just for religion instead of relationship? Guys, Jesus meets you where you are. I wrote a song about it. Your past does not disqualify you. There is living water available for you right now, today. Because Jesus offers satisfaction. Nothing else does. Jesus offers grace. Nothing else does. Jesus offers a real relationship. Nothing else does. Jesus will transform your life when nothing else can. The same living God who met the lady at the well is ready to meet you today. Right now. So if you don't have a relationship with that, with that person, with that Christ, with the only living God, with Jesus, if you do not have a relationship with Him today, you better get right. Dear Heavenly Father. We thank you for the choice. We thank you for the opportunity. We thank you for the transformation. We thank you for the opportunity of transformation. Lord, I pray that you would meet every single person that is on this call at the well. That they break the cycle, they break the chains, and they let you transform them, form them. You the living God. Amen and hallelujah. Well, guys, you know the deal. I'll see you next time. I love you guys. And I'm praying. And please keep me in your prayers as we continue through this journey. My marriage is great. My life is great. And you too can have the same transformation. All you have to do is meet him at Dewell. And he's waiting for you. Guys, I love you. God bless. Get right. This episode is sponsored in part by Trainot. No excuses. No weaknesses.
