In this Prayer Set, Emily and Courtney invite listeners into a quiet, Scripture-centered space rooted in John 15—Jesus’ invitation to abide in Him as the true Vine. This episode is not a teaching or conversation, but a shared moment of prayer, repentance, communion, and surrender as we allow the Word of God to shape our hearts, desires, and prayers.
Together, we reflect on what it means to live in life union with Jesus, to embrace the loving pruning of the Father, and to discover that all lasting fruit flows from intimacy—not striving. As we pray the words of Jesus, we create room for the Holy Spirit to renew our minds, wills, and emotions and align us with the heart of God.
This Prayer Set centers on abiding love, identity before fruitfulness, joy that overflows, and living as intimate friends of Jesus who walk in obedience and surrender.
