In this episode of TangibleTalks, Jana and Reata explore the relationship between achievement and abiding, using John 14:6–14 as the foundation for their discussion. Reata honestly reflects on her tendency toward achievement and how abiding can sometimes seem passive, while Jana highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the two. Looking at Jesus’ example, they discuss how He first demonstrated what it means to abide in the Father before inviting His followers to abide in Him. Rather than simply giving instructions, Jesus modeled the process, showing that fruitful achievement flows from a place of connection and dependence on God. As part of the ongoing Third Seed series, the conversation examines how the distractions and pressures of life can crowd out this vital relationship, challenging listeners to pursue accomplishments that are rooted in abiding rather than striving alone.

Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus.
