Week 3: Chapter 2 — Empty or Full

1.Lysa uses the image of coming to a well — either with our emptiness on display or desperately trying to appear full. Which posture do you tend to take when you walk into a room full of people?

2.The woman at the well had been married five times and was living with a man who was not her husband — a social history that would have made her a target for judgment and rejection in her community. How does it change the story to know that Jesus deliberately went through Samaria and waited at that well specifically for her?

3.Lysa points out that Jesus did not begin the conversation by addressing the woman's sin — He began it by asking her for something. What does that approach tell us about how Jesus sees and pursues people who have been marked by rejection and shame?
