What Does Abiding in Christ Actually Look Like

September 8, 2026 · 37 min

Show notes

This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel shares what it actually looks like to abide in Christ and how the fruit we produce can reveal where we’ve been abiding.

Abiding in Jesus isn’t something reserved for quiet time, worship, or Sunday mornings. It’s a daily relationship with Him that follows us into our work, relationships, motherhood, decisions, and even the smallest moments of our day. And the beautiful part? We don’t have to strive to produce good fruit. Fruit is the result of staying connected to the Vine.

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ What it actually means to abide in Christ
✨ What the fruit in your life reveals about where you’re abiding
✨ Abiding in Jesus instead of striving for His approval
✨ How to invite God into the ordinary moments of your day
✨ Why good fruit is produced through relationship, not performance
✨ Learning to rest in the finished work of the cross
✨ Recognizing and accepting seasons of pruning
✨ Protecting your relationship and time with God
✨ Obeying God even when His direction doesn’t make sense
✨ Producing the fruit of the Spirit in everyday life

If you’ve been feeling distant from God, overwhelmed, anxious, rushed, or like you need to “do more” to be close to Him, this episode is an invitation to return to the Vine.

You don’t produce fruit so you can come to Jesus. You abide in Jesus, and He produces the fruit through you. 🤍

So ask yourself this week: What fruit am I producing, and where have I been abiding?
