Welcome to the podcast table! My co-host is my friend Stephanie Hall. Stephanie is on staff at Centenary Church in Lexington. She oversees women's, couples, and young adult ministries at Centenary. We had the best conversation around John 15:1-8. I pray it nourishes you as much as it nourished us.
I once was invited to speak at a church. When I told them I wanted to teach from John 15, they were quietly concerned. They didn't tell me until after the conference that John 15 had in their church history been a passage that divided their congregation. I tell you this because I know this is a chapter with some challenges. We can get rattled by phrases like "cut off". We get nervous about salvation security at a couple of points in this chapter. I truly believe we don't need to be worried about being cut off from Christ. Our salvation is a gift rooted in the love of God.
I loved talking with Stephanie about this chapter. Join us for the renewing of our mind as we gather around John 15 for this episode and the next one.
