Seeking: Honest Questions for Deeper Faith

Will You Give Me a Drink?

Episode Description: Jesus crosses all kinds of boundaries by leading his disciples through a place off their beaten path - Samaria - where Jesus has a conversation with an ostracized woman (John 4:5-42). His question to her, "Will you give me a drink?," at a well in the noonday heat becomes an invitation to her for a new way of life. For the woman, to respond is risky, but life changing and, as the story goes, she "runs and tells" the others. This week's episode features guest speaker Paul Rein who reflects on this story and touches upon his volunteer work. Following a career in executive leadership in health care and other industries, Paul is the founding director of Inner City Rugby of Nashville (ICRON), a non-profit that uses rugby to develop leadership and educational opportunities for urban youth. As we listen, we might imagine finding ourselves at the well. Are we willing to care for our neighbors, seeking to not just quench thirst, but to find living waters that sustain us all? Nate Strasser provides the music.
