About this listen

In John 17, Jesus asks the Father to keep us in the world, not remove us from it. That means life with God is not a strategy for escape but a way to flourish in a chaotic age. At the center is oneness: “I in them and You in Me.” Eternal life isn’t just endless time; it’s the quality of life that flows from knowing God right now. We talk about learning to say amen to Jesus’ prayer instead of trying to manufacture unity or joy, and how “Christ in you, the hope of glory” becomes the wellspring of transformation, courage, and holiness.

We lean into a bold line many avoid: “The glory You have given Me I have given to them.” What does it mean to receive shared glory without pride? We unpack how partnership with God changes the way we respond when He moves through us—no self-erasure, no ego—just gratitude for inclusion. Along the way, we point to creation’s design, from galaxies to atoms, as a living metaphor of Christ at the centre holding all things together… and holding you together.

Listen to be grounded, challenged, and encouraged to live from union rather than effort. If this conversation helps you hear God and walk in peace, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Your voice helps extend this prayer-shaped journey to more hearts.
