In this episode we discuss John 15: 1-4 where Jesus describes us, the believers as branches attached to the vine, Jesus. This verse ties in everything that Check Your Vertical is about and reminds us that we need to remain attached to the vine throughout all things in life, including our marriage. This verse however does say that even though we are still attached to Christ, that doesn't mean we won't experience "pruning" and or have pain in life. Knowing Christ and walking with him does not exclude us from trials but that when we DO experience this "pruning" while remaining attached to the vine then we can produce the fruit of the spirit needed to experience Christ in a deeper level. We feel that this verse ties in everything we have shared thus far throughout our marriage trials and redemption but also sets the stage for what is about to come for us and our podcast.  In the upcoming weeks, we will be diving deeper into our testimony and sharing how through immense pain the Lord has only grown us in our journey because of checking our vertical. We hope you join us on the journey to come.
