Devotionals - Sourcing Your Life in Christ

John 15 - Part 1 and 2

What does it mean to live as a follower of Jesus in the financial industry?

In this devotional conversation, Mitch Santala (ESA) and Darren Cde Baca (DCB Strategies) unpack John 15 and Jesus’ words, “I am the true vine.” Together, they reflect on the contrast between the true vine and the false vines that promise fulfillment but never deliver. From money, performance, and achievement to people-pleasing and escapism, financial wholesalers face constant distractions. Yet true fulfillment and fruitfulness come only by staying rooted in Christ. Whether you’re leading a team, carrying the bag, or navigating high-pressure expectations, this devotional is an encouragement to remain connected to the source of life—and to lead with confidence, stability, and eternal perspective.

Watch and be reminded: apart from Him, we can do nothing. But connected to Christ, we bear lasting fruit.
