Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of Abiding in God by discussing how having proximity to Jesus allows us to bear much fruit, and we discussed what it looks like to abide in Him with Greg Dempster. Greg is the Founder and Director of ChristLife Ministries, an organization that transforms Christian leaders from various denominational backgrounds. We turned to John 15 to analyze Jesus’s metaphor of the grapevine. His metaphor demonstrates the structure of a spiritual circuit breaker, where our source is God, and we bear fruit when we are connected to Him and Jesus. The Father is the Gardener, Jesus is the grapevine, and we are the branches. We also had Lori Ridder come in and share her testimony. Lori is the Executive Assistant to Karl at 180 Chicago, a multi-location church where Karl is the Senior Pastor. She has also led two successful webinars on the connection between faith and fitness, including her own journey, weight loss, spiritual strength, and lifelong healthy choices. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.
