Abide: Staying Connected to Jesus with Jeannie Cunnion – John 15

Episode Summary

Abide: Staying Connected to Jesus with Jeannie Cunnion – John 15 In Episode 152 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane welcome back author and Bible teacher Jeannie Cunnion for a powerful conversation about one of the central invitations of John 15: Abide in Me. What does it actually look like to abide in Jesus—not just during quiet time or Bible study, but in the middle of busy schedules, difficult seasons, relationships, parenting, work, and everyday life? Together, Jamie, Jane, and Jeannie explore the difference between striving for God and staying connected to God. They unpack Jesus’ picture of the Vine and the branches, why fruit is the result of abiding rather than performing, and how we can recognize when we've begun trying to produce in our own strength. They also talk honestly about pruning, surrender, intimacy with Jesus, and learning to remain in His love when God seems to be cutting away things we thought we needed. John 15 reminds us that Jesus isn't asking us to manufacture more fruit. He's inviting us to stay close to the Vine. If you've been tired from striving, questioning a season of pruning, or simply longing for deeper intimacy with Jesus, pull up a chair. This conversation is an invitation to stop performing—and start abiding. Reflection Question: Am I trying to produce fruit for Jesus—or am I staying close enough to Him that fruit becomes the natural result? ____________________________________ Connect with Jeannie Cunnion: Website: https://www.jeanniecunnion.com/ ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams ____________________________________ Get Jamie’s Newest Book: Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved
