There is a question that lives underneath almost everything we have been talking about this season. Where is Jesus in this part of it? Not in the high parts. In the loneliness. In the Monday. In the seat you could not leave during the invitation. In the competence that became a costume.

Anchored in John 15:5 — "I am the vine. You are the branches." Notice the location of the vine. Not over there. Not later. Here. Where the branch is.

Jesus is not at the better-looking version of your ministry. He is in this one. The booth. The green room. The rehearsal at 7:30 on a Wednesday night with a drummer who showed up late. This is where the vine is.

Formation to Transformation is a worship devotional for people who want worship to be more than a song set.
