    Special Episode from Christine Caine: What the Olive Tree Taught Me About Faith and Flourishing

    Flourishing isn’t about perfect conditions—it’s about deep roots. In this episode, host Christine Caine takes you behind the heart of her Bible Study, Flourishing, born out of her travels to olive farms around the world and years of studying every mention of olive trees in Scripture. You’ll discover what it means to be grafted into God’s family, to produce fruit in barren places, and to live a deeply rooted life—even in chaotic times. SHOW NOTES: The Olive Tree and a Life That Lasts Christine shares how studying olive trees around the world led her to uncover profound biblical truths about resilience, longevity, and spiritual health. Grafted Into God’s Family Drawing from Romans and her own adoption story, Christine explains what it means to be grafted into God’s family—and how this truth anchors our identity in a fractured world. Flourishing in the Midst of Darkness Through the story of David hiding in a cave and declaring “I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God,” Christine shows how flourishing is possible even in hardship. The Oil Comes From the Pressing Christine unpacks how olive oil—used throughout Scripture as a symbol of anointing—only comes through pressing, and what this reveals about trials and spiritual growth. Branches of Peace in a World of Division From Noah’s olive branch to the United Nations emblem, Christine explores how peace flows from abiding in Jesus—and how believers can be peacemakers in a polarized world.
