In this episode of Words & Ways we'll be looking at the story of Jesus and the woman at the well.
Listen for yourself, with small groups, leadership teams, mentoring-discipling relationships and more.
Our hope is that the words and ways of Jesus transform your mind, fill your heart, and encourage your soul today and every day.

DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How do you respond to travel detours? Why?
What kind of “detours” does life sometimes throw at you — things that make you change your route and restructure your plans?
Think of groups who have a long history of distrust and animosity (like the Jews and Samaritans in Jesus’ day). How do people try and dismantle those histories? What things are most effective?
Why do you think Jesus started this conversation with a question?
How do questions (in general) work as good conversation starters?
Biblical stories give us a snapshot of things that happened. It’s very possible that the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman was much longer than what’s written down. What other things do you think they maybe talked about?
Why do you think the woman left her water jar behind when she went to tell her village about what happened? (verses 27-30)
What do you think Jesus did and said to the people during the two days he stayed with them?
Is there a person you’ve been avoiding that God is nudging you to acknowledge and talk to? How will you do that?
