## Resource

What does it mean that Scripture repeatedly calls believers "trees"? In this episode, we dig into Psalm 1, Jeremiah 17:7, Ezekiel 47, and Revelation 22 to uncover a powerful pattern: God compares us to trees that need water (the Holy Spirit) and light (Jesus, the Light of the World) to bear fruit. We explore what it means to be planted, rooted, and fruitful — and why isolated trees never thrive. Just as individual trees come together to build a house, believers are called to come together to build the Church. If you're walking with Christ but doing life alone, this episode is for you. Be encouraged, stay rooted, and bear fruit.
