Like the disciples before her, and unlike Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman moved from conversation with Jesus to conversion, to co-laboring with Jesus in his ministry. Jesus came to Samaria to transform this woman at the well into a disciple and an apostle.
Hebrews: Resist the Pull of the Past
We all grow up with traditions and worldviews that go so deep you and I often do not even realize they are there. We also grow up with ways of processing and coping with what we experience that seem so true and right it goes without being said. These things can be so rooted within our hearts and minds that to consider turning from them and taking up a new way is in itself unsettling and distressing.

Gospel of John: Shalom
Peace I send forth to you, my peace I commit to you—not as the world delivers do I deliver. Do not let your hearts be troubled, stirred up, and agitated, neither let you all be afraid.
