Hi, I'm Kellie Lemen.
Hi, friend! Welcome to Fruit on the Vine - a repository of faith building tools and resources created with people like you in mind. Because discipleship truly changed my life, I am passionate about carrying the torch forward and doing everything I can this side of heaven to make as many disciples as possible and help others do the same.
I love God, trust the Bible, and wholeheartedly believe in the universal calling for Jesus followers to take an active role in the Great Commission. My hope is that you, too, begin to see your own part to play in Jesus' command to become a disciple and make disciples. And I hope that FOTV can help you in those efforts!​
With every word I write and resource I provide, I hope you are encouraged in this truth: your life and what you do with it matters. The world needs you, and as you follow and remain in Jesus, you WILL bear fruit! Know that I am cheering you on with all of Heaven - let's do this together!
​
Much Love,
Kellie
My Story
In 2016, I was invited into a discipling relationship by a woman who was willing to invest her life in me by committing to me her time, prayers, knowledge, and wisdom. Every week, I went to her home and sat at her feet as she not only taught me how to sit with the Lord and hear His voice, but also allowed me to watch and become a part of her life. I followed her as she followed Jesus. After about a year of deep spiritual and life transformation, I was "sent out" to do the same for others. Since then, I have walked with over a dozen women in intentional relationships through "discipleship groups" that are committed to meeting at least once a week for 12-18 months. I do this because I know that it matters. While my hope is always that they will end up going and doing the same for someone else, I know none of my time or investment is ever wasted. By laying my life down and walking with women through life-on-life discipling relationships, I have seen lives transform, prayers answered, and miracles take place as spiritual formation happened right before my eyes.
​
Some of you may be thinking, "you must have a lot of time on your hands" - but the truth is I've done all of this while working full time, managing other important personal relationships, and faithfully serving and being a part of my local church. They say you always have time for the things you want to make time for, and once I began to understand the powerful impact of discipleship, it became something I couldn't risk not prioritizing in my life.
​
As I engaged with more and more people in the Christian community over the past few years, I began to see a need that I hoped FOTV could meet. I am encouraged by the amount of people that are hungry for spiritual growth and/or want to make disciples but have never been shown or taught how to do it. That's why I created Fruit on the Vine - to spur you on in your own spiritual growth and to equip you to equip others!
