About Living in the Vine: Resurrection

Living in the Vine: Resurrection is a discipleship podcast rooted in John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Hosted by John Johnson and Pastor James Grossi, we equip listeners to abide in Jesus through biblical teaching, historical insight, and engaging discussions. Relaunched from our 2017 run, the podcast explores faith’s intersection with history, current events, and theology, featuring games like “Biblical or Not” to test doctrines against Scripture. New episodes drop Thursdays, joined by re-released Classics, offering timeless truth for today’s challenges. Join us to grow in Christ, the true Vine!

Our Statement of Faith

As members of Calvary Baptist Church, we affirm its statement of faith found here but here are some brief highlights of our beliefs:

  • Scripture: The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant Word, sufficient for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
  • God: One God exists in three persons—Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 143:3).
  • Salvation: Sinners are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9).
  • Church: The local church is Christ’s body, called to worship, disciple, and proclaim the gospel (Matthew 28:18–20).
  • Last Things: Christ will return to judge and reign eternally (Revelation 22:12–13).
