October 2024 Reflections

Thanks for your feedback! I read every email. You’re always welcome to send questions, comments and thoughts. I especially love hearing from other Bible teachers, pastors and small group leaders about how you incorporate what you’ve learned into your ministries. Just reply to this email with your thoughts.

Here’s what happened last month on Wednesdayintheword.com:

October 2024 Podcasts: Unpacking the lessons from Nicodemus and the Woman at the Well

▶️ 07 Nicodemus: You must be born again (John 3:1-13)

Jesus challenges Nicodemus four ways. First, he tells Nicodemus seeking truth and responding to miracles are not enough to enter the kingdom of heaven.

▶️ 08 Nicodemus: For God so loved the world (John 3:14-21)

Nicodemus approaches Jesus as a truth-seeker who acknowledges Jesus is a teacher from God. Jesus warns him four ways that’s not enough to gain eternal life.

▶️ 09 John the Baptist: Forerunner to Follower (John 3:22-36)

While John the Baptist was a significant historical figure, his primary mission was to prepare for Jesus’ coming. In this narrative, John affirms his contentment and joy with following God’s plan for him.

▶️ 10 Living Water: The Woman at the Well, Part 1 (John 4)

John adds a new twist to his theme of testimony and belief: this time the believers are the hated Samaritans. John explores three themes this chapter. We examine the first theme in this podcast.

▶️ 11 True Worship: The Woman at the Well, Part 2 (John 4)

John takes us to Jacob’s well in Samaria—a place loaded with historical animosities between Jews and Samaritans. In addition to exploring his theme of belief, John teaches us about worship and hungering for God’s will.


Please tell your friends about the podcast — but more importantly, encourage them with something you learned.


There are so many ways to listen to podcasts, getting started is confusing. Here are some tutorials for Android, iPhone, Spotify, Alexa, Audible, etc.

You can also make your own “app” to access podcasts directly from the website.
