But Jesus offers a different way - not striving, but abiding.In this week’s Weekly Visit, Beth and Jenna will unpack what it means to:Live from connection, not performanceChoose relationship with Jesus over spiritual burnoutRecognize when we’ve slipped into striving and how to return to restAbide in His love in the midst of real-life responsibilitiesIf you’ve been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying faith on your own strength… this is your reminder:Abiding is not passive, it’s powerful.Come rest, receive, and reconnect with Jesus.Join us every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community for The Weekly Visit!

The Bible study may be wrapped, but the journey is far from over.Now that we’ve spent weeks abiding in His love through the Gospel of John, how do we keep going?

In the final part of Abide in His Love, we enter the hardest (and holiest) chapters of John’s Gospel.John 18–21 takes us through betrayal, denial, suffering, death… and then, astonishingly, restoration and resurrection. It’s the story of a Savior who steps into pain; not to avoid it, but to redeem it.Together with Beth and Steph, we’ll uncover:How Jesus meets us in our darkest momentsWhy even failure (like Peter’s) can become a doorway to missionThe hope embedded in every wound surrendered to ChristThe promise that pain is never the end of the storyIf you’ve felt weary, wounded, or waiting for redemption... this session is for you.Join us every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community for The Weekly Visit!

These are His final teachings to the disciples before His Passion… and they’re meant for us, too.What does it really mean to remain in Christ?How do we bear lasting fruit in our everyday lives?What does Jesus tell us about the Holy Spirit, obedience, and friendship with God?Join Jenna and Steph for a live Bible study as we unpack Jesus’ Farewell Discourse and High Priestly Prayer, learning together how to stay rooted in love, prayer, and purpose.Grab your Bible, invite a friend, and let’s abide in Him.

The world feels heavy right now. There is heartache and pain and suffering, and, with that, a renewed searching. There is a people searching for answers, for clarity, for truth, for hope.People are hungry. They're hungry for hope. They're hungry to believe. They're hungry for a life worth living for. They're hungry for a love worth dying for.They may not know it yet, but they're hungry for Jesus.And it's our time to tell the world about Him. It's our time to reignite the missionary heart that is within each one of us by way of His Holy Spirit. It's our time to set the world on fire with the love of Jesus, the truth of His life, death, and resurrection, the power of a love that poured out to save the world from death forever.Not all of us are called to be missionaries in foreign countries or to speak from stages (although thanks be to God for the ones who are), but all of us can bring the love of Jesus to the people right in front of us. At the grocery store. At school pickup. Around the dinner table. Online. At work. Right where we are.
