5 Ways to Abide in Christ Together | Marriage Devotional Week 27

Marriage After God

About this episode

How to abide in Christ as a couple: in week 27 of their 30-week marriage devotional series, Aaron and Jennifer Smith walk through John 15 and five practical ways to stay connected to Jesus, the true vine. After last week's episode on hiding from God, this conversation turns toward running to Him instead. They ask a hard question about where we go when we're sad, tired, bored or angry, whether to our spouse, a screen, food or Christ, and then unpack five habits: being in God's Word daily, seeking communion with God through prayer, living as a living sacrifice, relying on the Holy Spirit, and obeying Jesus' command to love one another. Along the way they cover Psalm 119, family Bible time, repentance as a gift, God's pruning, and why you cannot abide in Christ while refusing to love His people. This week's action: thank God for the ways He is pursuing you and choose three ways to obey Him.
