This week’s conversation is a little more on the spiritual side, although y’all know us well enough to know there is some ridiculous, too. We loved our time with the ladies at Malesus Baptist Church last month and wanted to share some of that conversation with you. We discuss what it means to grow in Christ and how to know if you are entering a growing season. There is discomfort in growth, and there is discomfort in staying the same. We will never change if we aren’t challenged! We talk about abiding, pruning, watering, and other favorite takeaways from John 15 and Galatians 5.

Ephesians 1:17-19

Romans 12

John 15:1-17

Galatians 5:22-23

“It doesn’t matter who plants the seed or who waters the seed. The Lord makes it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

We aren't commanded to bear fruit. We are commanded to abide. Abiding is doing more by doing less.

“Some thoughts are seeds that have been planted. Others are weeds born from our own soil. Either way, don't water what you don't want to grow.” Jackie Hill Perry

“Nothing is more painful to the branch or irresponsible of the Gardner than to avoid pruning.” Beth Moore “Chasing Vines”

"Sit with women who sit at the feet of Jesus. The conversations are different. You walk away feeling inspired not inferior because those are women who know that this Christian walk is a race to God, but not a competition with others." - Purposeful Women Co
