Hey Sis 💛

What if being rejected by the world is actually evidence that you are walking with Jesus?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we continue our Journey through John as we explore John 15:18–26, where Jesus prepares His disciples for something many believers rarely talk about. The reality that following Him may bring resistance, rejection, or even hatred from the world.

But Jesus does not leave His followers without hope.

In this powerful passage, Jesus reminds His disciples that the world hated Him first. He also gives them a promise that changes everything. The promise of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who would come to guide believers, strengthen their faith, and help them testify about Him.

If you have ever felt uncomfortable living out your faith or wondered why following Jesus can sometimes create tension with the world around you, this scripture offers both clarity and encouragement.

Grab your Bible and your journal.

Let’s study together. 📖

✨ In This Episode

• A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 15 • Why Jesus warned believers about the world’s hatred • What Jesus meant by “the world” • Why living set apart can make others uncomfortable • The promise of the Holy Spirit as our Advocate • How your testimony becomes a witness to who Jesus is

📖 Soul Reflection

Where in your life might God be inviting you to live more courageously for Him, even if it feels counter cultural?

Is there a place where you have been holding back from sharing your faith, your testimony, or the work Jesus has done in your life?

Take a moment to ask the Holy Spirit for courage and wisdom as you continue walking faithfully with Jesus.

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt like you are trying your hardest to live the Christian life… but still feel exhausted, discouraged, or spiritually dry?

Many believers spend their lives trying to produce spiritual fruit through effort, discipline, or sheer willpower.

But in John 15:1–17, Jesus reveals something that completely changes how the Christian life actually works.

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through Jesus’ powerful teaching about the vine and the branches and explore what it really means to abide in Christ. Together we’ll look at how God prunes believers, how the Holy Spirit produces fruit in our lives, and why remaining connected to Jesus leads to a life filled with lasting joy.

✨ In this episode we explore

• A biblical affirmation rooted in John 15 • Why Jesus calls Himself the true vine • What it means to abide in Christ daily • How God prunes believers as part of sanctification • The fruit the Holy Spirit produces in our lives • Why Jesus calls His disciples friends • The kind of joy that comes from remaining in Him

📖 Soul Reflection

Where in my life am I still trying to love, be joyful, find peace, show kindness, or exercise self-control without first abiding in Jesus?

Take a few moments to reflect honestly on the areas where you may be striving in your own strength, and invite Jesus to be the source of your strength, wisdom, and growth.

Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever wondered how believers are actually able to live the Christian life?

Because if we are honest, trying to follow Jesus through our own discipline, effort, or willpower often leaves us feeling discouraged.

In John 14:15–31, Jesus prepares His disciples for something that must have been incredibly confusing and heartbreaking. He tells them that He is leaving.

But in the middle of that moment, Jesus makes a promise that changes everything.

A promise that would transform how believers live their faith, understand obedience, and experience peace.

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through this powerful passage together and explore what Jesus meant when He spoke about the Holy Spirit, obedience that flows from love, and a peace the world simply cannot offer.

✨ In this episode we explore

• A biblical affirmation rooted in John 14 • Why Jesus connects love and obedience • The promise Jesus gives before His departure • What it means that believers are not left alone • The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer • The kind of peace Jesus leaves with His followers

Where in my life do I need to receive the peace that Jesus offers instead of the peace the world tries to give?

Take a few moments to write honestly about what may be troubling your heart, and invite the Holy Spirit to help you rest in the steady peace that comes from trusting Jesus.
