      • Are You Attached to a False Vine?

        In this episode of “The Abiding CEO™,” I’m exploring the concept of “false vines” – the things we chase after thinking they’ll bring us fulfillment, only to be left disappointed. Inspired by a powerful sermon on John 15: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener,” I want to share why worldly success, material possessions, and external validation don’t satisfy the way a deep connection with Jesus does. We’ll also talk about the process of “pruning” – those areas God wants to transform in us – and why trusting His timing is key to lasting growth.

      • The Transformative Power of Rest

        We’ll explore how embracing Sabbath isn’t just about taking a break; it’s an act of faith. Sabbath invites us to surrender the illusion of control, trusting God’s provision and timing. It’s a space to realign our priorities, recharge our souls, and cultivate a deeper connection with the source of our strength.
