Friday, February 21st: In this episode of The Daily Grind, John and Mariza dive into John 15, one of the most intimate and profound chapters of Jesus’ farewell discourse. Jesus uses the imagery of the vine and branches to emphasize the necessity of abiding in Him, staying connected to produce spiritual fruit. They explore how pruning—though painful—is necessary for growth, and how love, obedience, and sacrifice define the Christian life. Mariza shares personal reflections on unconditional love, forgiveness, and the daily challenge of setting aside personal agendas to truly love others. John recalls how this passage has shaped his faith journey, including a powerful story from his time at as a cadet at A&M. They also discuss how Jesus calls His followers friends, not just servants, and the depth of His ultimate sacrifice. As the world resists true love and obedience, Jesus reassures His disciples that the Holy Spirit will be their comfort and guide. The episode ends with a heartfelt reflection on trusting God even when circumstances don’t make sense. Join them as they unpack what it means to abide in Christ and bear lasting fruit. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
