Focusing on Jeremiah 2.4-13, Hebrews 13.1-8, 15-16, and Luke 14 1. 7-14, they discuss the hospitality of God and the challenge to think about where we seek our nourishment and who we offer hospitality to. In a world obsessed with status and wealth the way of Jesus disrupts expectations.

By the Well is a weekly lectionary-based podcast for preachers. Each week we take a deep dive into some of the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, exploring their ancient setting and how we might preach them today. We aim to take the Bible seriously, but not literally, bringing the best biblical scholarship into conversation with lived experience, pastoral need, and theology.
Our name, By the Well, is a nod to the Samaritan woman in John 4. In many ways she is an ordinary woman, perhaps on the margins of her community. When she encounters Jesus during her daily task of drawing water at the well, it transforms her and her faith. In discovering the “living water” that is Christ, she becomes a preacher and evangelist for her community, bringing them to encounter the good news of God for themselves.
