More Growth in Life | I Am More | Pastor Zach Weihrauch

About this episode

Pastor Zach Weihrauch discusses spiritual growth through the metaphor of the vine and branches in John 15, emphasizing the importance of abiding in Jesus.

As we continue our I Am More series, Pastor Zach walks us through John 15 and reminds us that healthy things grow–but that growth isn’t actually our job. Using the image of the vine and branches, he shows that real spiritual growth comes from staying connected to Jesus, not from trying harder. Instead of striving, we’re invited to simply abide–to stay with him–and trust that he will do the work in us. Looking to keep the conversation going? Learn more here.
