"Feeling stuck or unworthy? In this John 4 Bible study on the Woman at the Well, we explore how Jesus intentionally pursues us in the middle of our mess..."

Have you ever felt like you've made too many mistakes, or that you're too far outside the lines for God to pursue you? In this episode of The Intertwined Life Podcast, Jenny digs into John chapter 4 and the story of the Woman at the Well.

By unpacking the historical and cultural context of Jesus’ journey through Samaria—a place "religious people" avoided at all costs—Jenny uncovers a radical truth: Jesus intentionally goes out of His way to meet us right in the middle of our mess. Whether you feel like an outcast, are tired of drawing from the empty wells of the world, or simply need a fresh reminder of God’s relentless love, this episode offers a refreshing look at what it means to receive His living water.

In this episode, I share a short, practical reflection on what it looks like when I wake up overwhelmed, start spiraling into my to-do list, and need to turn my thoughts to trusting God with the overwhelm. I talk about the scriptures and prayers I use to reset my mind, hand my plans back to God, and remember that energy, clarity, and enthusiasm come from Him, not from self-effort.

This episode is especially helpful if you start the day mentally overloaded, physically drained, or discouraged before the work even begins.
