03 | Dwelling Deep | Lessons from John 15
In today's episode, De Anna invites listeners in for a fresh look at John 15:1-8. She discusses how one word written on a chalkboard brought new light to John 15:1-5. Using the example of an unattended muscadine vine, it becomes easier to see how our lives may look lovely and lush, but the question remains: "Is there any fruit?" Dwelling Deep encourages midlife Christian women to prioritize Bible reading and quiet reflection so real spiritual fruit grows naturally. Abiding, not striving, is the pathway to spiritual fruit. Favorite quote: " We can try to become women who display the fruit of the Spirit, but that's just striving in a nicer outfit. When we seek first to abide, letting God's Word wash over our minds and emotions and our souls, we come away with real peace and contentment, and our lives will naturally begin to overflow with love and joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, and self-control." How will abiding in Christ become part of your daily rhythm?
