Robyn Whitaker is joined by theologian, Daniel Sihombing, to talk about the Spirit and Pentecost. We look at the various snapshots of the Holy Spirit in all the readings this week - Acts 

-21, Genesis 11:1-9, Psalm 104:24-35, Romans 8:14-17, and John 14:8-17 discussing the range of activities of the Spirit and the centrality of her for Christian life.

By the Well is a weekly lectionary-based podcast for preachers. Each week we take a deep dive into some of the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, exploring their ancient setting and how we might preach them today. We aim to take the Bible seriously, but not literally, bringing the best biblical scholarship into conversation with lived experience, pastoral need, and theology.

Our name, By the Well, is a nod to the Samaritan woman in John 4. In many ways she is an ordinary woman, perhaps on the margins of her community. When she encounters Jesus during her daily task of drawing water at the well, it transforms her and her faith. In discovering the “living water” that is Christ, she becomes a preacher and evangelist for her community, bringing them to encounter the good news of God for themselves.
