We are jumping right into the middle of my conversation with Sandy Cooper. If you missed Part 1, you’ve got to listen to that first! As we continue to talk about abiding in Christ, Sandy shares practical tips on what it looks like to abide in the vine, what pruning looks and feels like, and how to hear God’s voice. I have replayed Sandy's closing words multiple times because what she says at the end of this episode is so powerful.

Watch this episode on YouTube

We Discuss:
• How abiding in Christ results in a fruitful life.
• What pruning might look/feel like.
• Spiritual practices to keep your soul well-watered.
• A message for the listener who longs to abide, but the idea is new to them.
