Joe and Jimmy jump into their ESV Bibles to talk through the practice of "abiding in Christ." What does it mean to abide? What does it look like? Why isn't Jimmy allowed to read the podcast intro? And we open up the mailbag to hit a couple more emails.

Dark Night of the Soul
Christians are called to “walk in the light,” (Eph. 5:8; 1 Jn. 1:7) and yet in God’s providence there are times when the faithful find themselves walking in a kind of darkness where God seems to be silent and distant. Many refer to this as a “dark night of the soul.” How is this dark night different from the more common forms of depression or affliction? And, is there a way to persevere through the night and find the light of morning?RECOMMENDED READINGFirst we have a couple free online resources for you, and then some books that can help when you’re in a dark night, or even just wrestling with depression.The Dark Night of the Soul by R.C.
