The world is loud. Everyone’s got an opinion, a cause, a trend to chase. And if we’re not careful, we end up running on empty—trying to keep up, but never really satisfied. Jesus cuts through all that noise with one simple invitation: “Abide in Me.” Stay connected. Stay rooted.

That’s the focus of this month’s issue—what it really means to live in the world but not of it. When we abide in Him, something powerful happens. We’re still in the world—we still have jobs, families, responsibilities—but we’re not owned by it. We don’t have to bow to its pressure or measure ourselves by its standards. Instead, His life flows into ours, filling us with strength when we’re weak, joy when things don’t make sense, and peace that’s unshakable!
