For the Harvest Podcast - Episode 15 - Breaking Barriers with the Gospel

Feb 1, 2026    John Worcester, David Worcester, Paul Worcester

In this episode of the For the Harvest podcast, hosts John, Paul, and David Worcester dive deep into John chapters 3 and 4 to uncover the specific "movement-starting" strategies of Jesus. They move beyond the familiar Sunday school stories to examine the tactical brilliance behind Jesus’ decision to leave Judea and travel through Samaria. The conversation highlights how Jesus balanced ministry to the masses with the training of the few, and why He empowered brand-new believers to take immediate action in ministry.

The team explores the "Village Strategy," comparing ancient towns like Sychar to modern-day neighborhoods or college dorms. They discuss the power of "hyper-local" outreach and why reaching one "Person of Peace"—even someone as socially ostracized as the woman at the well—can unlock an entire community. Whether you are a church planter, a student leader, or a believer wanting to impact your workplace, this episode provides a biblical roadmap for breaking social barriers and creating contagious gospel movements.
