If you've listened to the Beyond Forgiveness podcast, you know I have very little patience for "theatre." When you are navigating a chronic health crisis or a profound personal betrayal, you don't need a polished brand; you need a Sovereign reality. I often think back to the woman at the well in John 4. She is perhaps the most misunderstood "outcast" in the canon, but she is the one to whom Jesus chose to reveal the most sophisticated theological shift in history. She is the blueprint for the Church Without Walls.
