E156: Simply Remain

Are you exhausted from chasing outcomes that never quite deliver the peace you’re after?

Underneath every goal is a feeling — security, love, peace, worthiness. And that feeling is already available to you through abiding in Christ, not through achieving. 

In this episode Jill opens a new series called Simply Remain, anchored in John 15 and Andrew Murray’s The True Vine. She names the works of the flesh we don’t recognize because they look like diligence, introduces the idea of hard moments as portals into faith rather than detours around it, and shows what remaining actually looks like in a real moment of grief and loneliness.

In This Episode

•Why the fruit of the Spirit is not a to-do list
•How to trace any outcome back to the feeling underneath it
•The works of the flesh that look like virtue but quietly deplete you
•What remaining in Christ looks like in a real hard moment
•Why your hardest circumstances are doorways into abiding

Key Takeaways

•You’re chasing the feeling underneath the outcome — and it’s already available through abiding
•The branch has one job: to stay
•Striving and controlling are works of the flesh — they never deliver what they promise
•Your hard moments are portals, not interruptions

Series Note
Episode 1 of the Simply Remain series, based on John 15 and Andrew Murray’s The True Vine.
