Episode notes
Spiritual growth isn't about trying harder but staying connected to Jesus, our true vine. As branches, we must abide in Him to bear fruit, recognizing our complete dependence on His power. This connection requires daily commitment through Scripture reading, prayer, and sometimes painful pruning of unfruitful areas in our lives. When we remain in Christ, we naturally produce fruit that glorifies God and impacts others, demonstrating that transformation comes not through self-effort but through an ongoing relationship with Jesus.
