I AM, Part 7: I Am the True Vine // Brian Ross

Managing life on your own natural ability ... how's that actually working out? For most of us, not great. Not because we're failing, but because we were never meant to run on willpower alone.

In the final week of I AM, Brian Ross unpacks Jesus's claim in John 15:1 — "I am the true vine" — and what it looks like to access a kind of power that goes beyond anything we can manufacture ourselves.
