    Send us Fan MailWhat if we've been looking at the Samaritan woman through the wrong lens all along?In this powerful teaching, Bible teacher Leanna Magelli invites us to take a fresh look at one of the most familiar stories in Scripture, John 4, the Samaritan woman at the well. As Leanna digs into the geography, history, and context surrounding this passage, she uncovers surprising connections between the woman at the well and Dinah's story in Genesis.She explores what happened in the land of Shechem, a place marked by abuse, violence, betrayal, and brokenness, and why Jesus intentionally chose to walk through Samaria and stop at that particular well.She paints a picture of a woman carrying deep pain and loss, a woman Jesus pursued, saw, and entrusted with His message.If you've ever struggled with shame, felt overlooked, carried wounds from your past, or wondered if God truly sees you, this episode is for you.This episode is provided by our Sponsor, Southwest Investment Advisors - "As financial advisors, they spend their careers helping people plan for the future. While supporting organizations like ours that assist families and provide compassionate care.

In This Episode We Discuss:• Why Jesus "had to" go through Samaria• The connection between John 4 and Genesis 33-34• What happened in Shechem and why it matters• A different perspective on the Samaritan woman's five husbands• How Jesus approaches our deepest wounds• Why God consistently values, protects, and elevates women throughout Scripture• The difference between seeing yourself through the world's lens versus God's lens• How Jesus redeems what has been done to us and what we have done• Why suffering and joy often walk hand in hand• What it means to allow God to reclaim your storyKey ScripturesJohn 4:1-42Genesis 33-34Acts 1:8A Final EncouragementThe Samaritan woman didn't have to explain her pain to Jesus. He already knew. He knew her story, her losses, her wounds, and He still chose her.The same is true for us.Jesus knows the things we've done, the things that have been done to us, and the places we still carry shame. Yet He continues to pursue us with love, offering healing, redemption, and living water.Whatever your "Shechem" may be, the place marked by pain, loss, disappointment, betrayal, or brokenness, Jesus is willing to meet you there.Because you are seen. You are known. You are loved.And your story is not over.Enjoy more of Leanna's Bible teachings as well as her Pastors at https://www.youtube.com/@FCC_TUCSONConnect with Reclaimed StoryWebsite: reclaimedstory.comDownload the Reclaimed Story App anywhere you grab your apps.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ~ @reclaimedstoryListen to more episodes of Living the Reclaimed Life Podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts.

    Grief is something none of us can avoid, yet many of us feel completely unprepared when it touches our lives or the lives of those we love.

    In this episode of Living the Reclaimed Life, co-host Robin Blumenthal sits down with Ashley Hughes, founder and executive director of Joy in the Mourning. After experiencing the traumatic loss of her husband at a young age, Ashley found herself navigating a journey she never expected. Through her own grief, God planted a passion in her heart to help others who are walking through loss and to equip friends, families, churches, and communities to better support those who are grieving.

    Ashley shares her personal story, the lessons she has learned through suffering, and practical ways we can come alongside those experiencing loss with compassion, understanding, and hope. This conversation offers encouragement for anyone who is grieving, as well as valuable insight for those who want to be a better friend, family member, or support person to someone facing one of life's most difficult seasons.

    What if caring for your health could become an act of worship instead of pressure or perfectionism?

    In this episode of Living the Reclaimed Life, Denisha sits down with Christian health advocate Nelly Holst for a deeply encouraging conversation about faith, nutrition, healing, and learning to steward the body God has given us.

    Nelly shares her powerful story of walking through decades of chronic illness, discovering biblical principles for healthy living, homeschooling her three daughters for 17 years while battling health challenges, and ultimately learning how deeply God cares for every part of us, body, soul, and spirit.

    Together, they discuss:
    • Nelly’s journey to faith and the moment Jesus became real to her
    • Living with celiac disease before most doctors understood it
    • What Scripture says about caring for our bodies
    • Simple practical changes women can make toward better health
    • Why stewardship matters more than perfection
    • The connection between physical health, emotional health, and spiritual health
    • Non-invasive light therapy and holistic wellness
    • Encouragement for exhausted women who have spent years caring for everyone else

    This conversation is filled with wisdom, grace, hope, and practical encouragement for women who want to live healthier lives while staying rooted in Christ.
