March 07, 2023 17:00 - 8 minutes - 6.07 MB

Today's episode is titled "I am He." Such a pronouncement is easily overlooked, but the fact that Jesus felt more comfortable sharing information about His messiahship with a stranger, a woman, a non-Jew, says a lot.  The Woman at the well reception of who He is also says a lot...
