In Pastor Dehavilland Ford’s message, Abiding Through Radical Love, she teaches that vision is sustained not by striving or production, but by abiding deeply in Christ, drawing from Jesus’ words in John 15:1–11. Preaching in the context of shaking—both personal and global—she frames abiding as the essential posture for believers in seasons of pruning, pressure, and promise. Using the metaphor of the vine, branches, and vinedresser, Pastor Dehavilland explains that pruning is not punishment but preparation, designed by God to produce lasting fruit. She contrasts striving with abiding through the story of Martha and Mary, emphasizing that fruitfulness flows from intimacy, not busyness, and that being known by God comes from remaining in His presence rather than performing for Him. Ultimately, the message calls believers to rest in radical love, remain connected to Christ in times of testing, and trust that true fruit is produced by staying close to the Source, not by controlling outcomes or competing with others.
