About this episode

Have you ever struggled to connect with others? In this episode, Christine Caine continues unpacks the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4. She reveals how Jesus built bridges instead of walls—choosing compassion over condemnation, relationship over religious activity. With practical wisdom, Christine challenges us to stop trying to play the Holy Spirit in others’ lives and start showing up with love, empathy, and truth. Whether you’re longing to grow in relational impact, spiritual wisdom, or gospel effectiveness, this message will help you live in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus.

What you’ll learn:
- How to discover common ground.
- Why revival often begins with connection, not correction.
- Practical ways to share the hope of Jesus with those around you.

This is part of our Resilient Hope Summer series — real talk and encouragement to keep your faith strong in every season.
