Abide: You're Already in the Vine

What does it actually mean to abide? Jenna unpacks John 15 with refreshing honesty, moving past the idea that staying connected to God is something you schedule between 6 and 6:30 in the morning. She talks about shame, control, pruning, and what it looks like to live from a place of union with God rather than constantly reaching for Him when things fall apart.

The thing is, abiding isn't a discipline you master. It's an awareness you return to. God isn't waiting on the other side of your quiet time. He's already in you, moving through the ordinary parts of your day, the dishes, the drive, the hard conversation you've been putting off.

Rowena closes with a question worth sitting with: what do you actually expect when you come to God? Because sometimes what blocks us from abiding isn't busyness or distraction. It's the quiet belief that we need to clean ourselves up first.
