What is Vine & The Branch all about?
Over the past two years since I came back to faith, I found myself constantly drawn to read, watch, and listen to anything that helped me understand God better. You know how once the hunger to know Jesus begins, it doesn’t stop, it just keeps growing.
Just like the verse Psalms 42:1 describes: As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.
And slowly, through all that content and my intentional prayer life, I started to see Him through a completely new lens - not the one shaped by routine or tradition, but something far deeper and more real. As a Christian for the first time in my life, I felt excited to know more about Jesus and at the same time amazed and crushed at what He had done for us - feelings I had never experienced before.
Now, after having access to so much content, somewhere along the way, I had this thought:
What if there were one space where everything could come together?
Where someone new to the faith or returning after years wouldn’t have to dig through endless links, YouTube rabbit holes, or random posts? Just a quiet headstart. Something to anchor you in the noise. Because if there is one thing I’ve learnt, it is that making time for God isn’t something we are meant to squeeze in; it is meant to anchor everything else. And this world that rarely slows down, you need a center that helps you anchor yourself, or else you slowly start to drift.
And I know it’s not always easy. When life feels like a whirlwind, you don’t even know what to feel, or where to begin. I have been there - so overwhelmed by emotions I couldn’t tell head from tail.
That’s why I created this space. Just to begin. A quiet corner of the internet to help you take that first step. The rest? That’s between you and the Holy Spirit. He won’t force His way in. But He’s ready whenever you are. And this space? It’s just here to help you say yes.
The name Vine & The Branch comes straight from John 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
There’s no better way to describe our walk with God and how we are called to bear fruit in this short life we’ve been given. We were never meant to do life apart from Him.
So to all the wanderers, returners & seekers - there’s a vast amount of content out there on the internet, and it can get overwhelming fast. This space simply brings together some of that content to help you start with a strong foundation. As you grow, you’ll discover more along the way. For now, all you need to do is abide.
What comes next?
What do you need to do? Just open your heart, pick any section, and begin wherever you feel drawn. There is no set order. This space is simply a head start to build (or rebuild) your relationship with God. You don’t need to take it all in at once. What helps me is to explore one section at a time, maybe read through something, watch a video, pause, reflect, and go deeper if it speaks to me. And if there’s something specific you’d like to talk about, I would love to hear from you.
