Sharing Jesus can stir up anxiety and guilt, but when you keep two simple, life-giving principles in view, conversations about faith can become much more stress-free.

[Giving Jesus Away] Two Upfront Principles

This plan invites us to face the hidden parts of ourselves we often conceal. The Samaritan woman’s story shows how hiding shrivels our inner and outer lives. Yet Jesus seeks us in those places, offering healing and transformation. His living water satisfies more deeply than anything the world offers. Real joy isn’t found in circumstances but in relationship with God. As we reflect, we ask: Where are we hiding, and what wells leave us empty? Today, we’re called to bring everything into the light and receive the fullness of joy found in Christ alone.

Out of Hiding and Into Joy
