The Pruning Podcast

What happens when God gives you a promise, but the process looks nothing like you expected?In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Wendy and Pastor Kameron for an honest conversation about the waiting seasons nobody talks about, the endurance required to trust God when He feels silent, and how to remain faithful when you haven’t seen the promise come to pass.We also dive into a conversation the Church needs to have: Are we looking for the fruit of the Spirit, or are we simply looking for religious behavior?Just because someone goes to church, knows Scripture, or says they love God doesn’t automatically mean they’re living like Christ. Through biblical wisdom and personal insight, we discuss spiritual discernment, recognizing genuine character, and what to look for when choosing a godly partner.In this episode, we discuss:● The waiting seasons nobody prepares you for● How to endure when God’s timing doesn’t match yours● Lessons from the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4● Trusting God through disappointment and uncertainty● The difference between religious behavior and genuine spiritual fruit● What to look for in a godly man beyond church attendance and words● Why character, accountability, and genuine repentance matter● How to trust God with the process, not just the promiseWhether you’re waiting on God, navigating relationships, or learning to discern His direction for your life, this conversation is for you.You need faith for the promise, endurance for the process, and discernment to recognize the fruit.Scripture references: 2 Kings 4:8–37, Hebrews 10:36, Matthew 7:16–20, Galatians 5:22–23.Subscribe to The Pruning Podcast for more conversations about faith, spiritual growth, purpose, and becoming who God has called you to be.#ThePruningPodcast #ChristianPodcast #WaitingOnGod #ChristianDating #FruitOfTheSpirit #SpiritualGrowth #GodsTiming

What happens when one of the hardest seasons of your life collides with one of the biggest blessings? In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I sit down with content creator Lexi Clayton for a real conversation about grief, motherhood, social media, and learning how to keep living when life changes overnight.Lexi opens up about losing her best friend and then finding out she was pregnant that same year navigating the weight of grief while simultaneously preparing to welcome new life.We talk about what grief actually looks like when the world keeps moving, how loss changes you, becoming a mother in the middle of it all, and finding the strength to keep going even when you don't completely understand what God is doing.We also get into the side of Lexi that so many people know online content creation, building a platform, sharing your life on social media, dealing with people's opinions, and learning the difference between your online presence and your real life.This conversation is about the strange reality of life: grief and joy can exist in the same season. You can miss someone deeply and still make room for what God is doing next.If you've ever experienced loss, walked through a major life transition, struggled with finding your purpose, or wondered what life behind the content really looks like, this episode is for you.Subscribe to The Pruning Podcast and turn on your notifications so you don't miss what's next. #ThePruningPodcast #LexiClayton #Grief #Motherhood #ContentCreator #Faith #Healing #Pregnancy #TikTokCreator #Purpose

This season is all about going and making disciples. In today's episode, I sit down with Emma and Layla to have one of our most honest conversations yet. We talk about mental health, the struggles of trying to overcome sin in our own strength, and what finally changed when we fully surrendered our lives to Christ.For so long, I wanted to stop sinning but I couldn't.
