Do you love a good story? Who doesn’t. Whether you’re a booklover or not, there’s just something about a captivating storyline. The characters, the context, the conflict, and (hopefully) the resolution. Oh yes, we love a good story!

Alas, it’s about time to close the book on John 4. Join me for a new episode about an age-old topic.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "They made their way toward Him…toward the Messiah…because of her and her old story- all the mess-ups and flub-ups. All the disasters and detours. All the mistakes and if-only’s, the desired takebacks and romanticized redo’s. Her old story became the catalyst to drive everyone to meet the one who “told me everything I ever did.”"

You know that uncomfortable feeling when you’re caught in a moment, a confrontation of sorts? Maybe it’s discomfort, insecurity, or ignorance. You start sweating and fumbling over your words. For many of us, that can only mean one thing: New Topic!

And when it comes to tricky topics, we either dive in or dodge ‘em completely. Join me as we see this play out in real time.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "This man, this One, the Messiah. Not much has changed. He’s still asking questions today…of you and me. Still inviting. But not questions to play dumb, or be rude or shaming. No, questions to give us a moment to pause what we’re doing, take inventory, reflect, be curious. A water break between the 5-minute rounds of this life. And many times, like Walmart Woman, I change the topic too because who really wants to stare wide-eyed at their own “5 husbands and a live-in boyfriend,” so to speak?”
