In this episode, Dr. Ben Lovvorn walks us through this week’s passage in Abide, John 15:18–16:11. Then Ben, Nate, and Andrew discuss why the world responded to Jesus with such hostility and how that applies to us. We should take this seriously and be prepared, but we don’t have to be afraid. The church has been given the Helper, the Holy Spirit!

Today’s episode is meant to come alongside and encourage you as you work through the Abide book. You can download this resource for free from our website: firstdallas.org/abide.
