An Unexpected Conversation
A Story-Based Workbook Inspired by the Woman at the Well

This workbook is not about fixing yourself.
It is about noticing where you reach for water.

Inspired by the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, An Unexpected Conversation invites readers into a slow, honest journey of reflection, one rooted in Scripture, story, and gentle self-awareness.

Rather than offering quick answers or spiritual formulas, this workbook creates space to listen. Through guided Scripture readings, reflective questions, journaling pages, and two carefully designed self-reflection tools, readers are invited to notice the patterns, habits, and longings they carry, and to bring them into conversation with Jesus.

At the heart of the workbook is the image of twelve “jars,” shared human patterns where people often draw comfort, control, approval, or meaning when life feels heavy or uncertain. These jars are not labels or diagnoses. They are invitations to awareness.

This workbook is designed for:

• Individual reflection

• Couples walking side-by-side

• Small groups or church studies

• Retreats and guided settings

You will find:

• Five Scripture-centered sessions following the story of John 4

• Gentle reflection prompts and journaling space

• A Surface Test to notice everyday patterns

• A Deeper Test to explore what may lie beneath them

• Clear permission to go slowly, skip questions, or pause when needed

• Leader and group guidance included in the back of the workbook

This is not therapy.
It is not a test you must pass.
It is not about completing every page.

It is a place to notice, listen, and respond, at your own pace.

Jesus never forced truth.
He invited it.

This workbook does the same.
