Episode 7: He Prunes and Heals

Join us for our final episode in our seven-week series, Encountering Jesus Personally. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into the Gospel of John, focusing on the famous I AM statement, “I am the true vine.” Each time we find Jesus saying, “I am,” He is giving us a glimpse into what He’s like. He’s revealing something about His character. Do you want to attach yourself to Jesus, but struggle with self-reliance? Do you long for Him to heal your wounds, but only under the condition that it won’t hurt? Oh, sister, have we got a show for you! Grab your coffee, open your Bible, and join Lisa and Laura as they unpack today’s Scripture and apply it to our daily lives.<br />
<br />
Open your Heart to our key Scripture. John 15:1: I am the true vine.<br />
<br />
Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.Have you experienced God’s Word moving in your life, revealing motives, thoughts, and hurts? How have you responded? What difference would it make if you truly believed the words of Saint Julian of Norwich: “When God sees sin, He sees pain in us”?<br />
