John 15:6 | What Happens When You Disconnect

This is the verse most people skip in John 15. Jesus describes what happens when a branch stops remaining in the vine. It does not start with fire. It starts with disconnection. Then drying out. Then becoming brittle.

The withering does not happen overnight. It happens slowly, quietly, almost imperceptibly. You keep showing up, but the life underneath is going quiet. This episode sits with the honest reality that you can still look like a branch long after the connection is gone.
