"Drink & Live" - Mayo Adigun

About this episode

Mayo Adigun explores the significance of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, connecting it to themes of thirst, longing, and transformation during Lent.

Why does Jesus ask a Samaritan woman for a drink - and what does her story have to do with your deepest longings? In this Lenten sermon, Mayo Adigun traces the thread of thirst from Israel's wilderness in Exodus to a quiet well in Samaria, where Jesus crosses every barrier (ethnic, social, and moral) to reach one woman carrying the weight of five broken covenants. Drawing on John 4, Genesis's well scenes, Isaiah's promise, and insights from Augustine, Tolkien, and Calvin, Mayo reveals that this is no ordinary encounter: the Bridegroom has come to the well. This message explores what it means to be fully known and fully loved, why Lent invites us to sit in our thirst long enough to remember the true source, and how one transformed life overflowed into an entire community.
