A sighting of bald grapevines led Tim Reardon to look into viticulture — both now and in Jesus' time. What he learned shed new light for him on Jesus' parable of the vine in John 15. He learned that there is a source vine — a trustworthy root. And next that there are two types of pruning — and not all branches are meant to bear fruit. How does this impact our life in Jesus the true vine? Our relationship to one another as branches?
