The constant pressure to achieve, produce, and move forward can leave us exhausted and disconnected from what matters most. What if the answer isn't found in doing more but in simply remaining?

Kelley Johnson welcomes transformation coach Nadya Dickson and Pastor Sheila Walls for an unscripted, Holy Spirit-led conversation about the profound power of remaining in God. Drawing from John 15's imagery of the vine and branches, these women explore how staying connected to Jesus transforms our identity, purpose, and productivity.

Through vulnerable personal stories, they reveal how remaining with God through difficult circumstances—from divorce to business challenges—creates space for complete transformation. One guest shares how God asked her to "remain" in the U.S. after her marriage ended rather than returning to her support system in Canada, placing her on what she calls "the Potter's wheel" of formation.

The conversation illuminates how true intimacy with God differs from religious activity, comparing spiritual growth to a caterpillar's metamorphosis—messy and uncomfortable, yet essential for transformation. They honestly acknowledge how challenging it can be to remain when our own experiences with earthly fathers have distorted our view of God as Father.

You'll discover practical ways to cultivate intimacy with God, from creating sacred moments throughout your day to transforming negative self-talk with God's affirming voice. The women share how remaining in God during pruning seasons produces more fruit than prematurely running from discomfort.
