Jesus said it five times in eight verses: abide in me. Remain. Stay connected.

And yet — for most of us, staying connected is the first thing that goes when life gets hard.

We stop praying the way we used to. We stop sitting with the Word. We stop creating space to actually hear. And we tell ourselves we'll get back to it when things slow down.

But things don't slow down. And before we know it, we're functioning on empty — doing it all from our own reserves. And our own reserves were never designed to be enough.

So why is abiding so hard?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three biggest obstacles that keep us disconnected — and why they're often things we don't even realize are getting in the way.

I'm also sharing what abiding actually looks like in practice. Because most of us were never taught. We were told to do it, but not how.

Spoiler: it's probably less complicated than you think.

And if you've drifted? If it's been a while? There's something in this episode for you too.
