    Aug 19 2025
    A Prayer for Your Past: Immersive Prayer Series: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotionals In this episode, Rachael Groll explores the transformative power of personal stories in sharing faith, using the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well as a central theme. She emphasizes that we do not need to be fully healed or have all the answers to be used by God. Instead, our willingness to share our experiences can lead others to encounter Jesus. The discussion encourages listeners to embrace their stories, find courage in vulnerability, and invite others to see the work of Christ in their lives. Takeaways: We often think we need to be healed before being used by God. The Samaritan woman became a witness despite her past. We can be sent by God while still in our healing process. Our stories can be powerful testimonies for others. Courage comes from confidence in Jesus, not ourselves. Sharing our stories can help others encounter Jesus. We don't need to have all the answers to share our faith. Honesty in our testimonies resonates with others. Jesus uses every piece of our story for His glory. We are called to invite others to see what Jesus has done. Sound bites: "We have to wait until we are healed." "She simply put down her water jar." "You don't have to be a preacher."
