    EP. 54 || FINDING JOY IN UNIMAGINABLE GRIEF WITH LEXI CLAXTON

    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.

    EP. 53 || WHAT IT COSTS TO STAND FOR JESUS AS AN PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE W/ HUNTER S

    In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I sat down with ULL football player Hunter for a real conversation about faith, football, pressure, pain, and what it really looks like to stand for Jesus in an environment where following Christ isn’t always the popular choice. Hunter shares his journey from cursing and blending into the locker room culture to boldly leading Bible studies with his teammates. We talk about the things he’s walked through, the hurt he’s experienced, how God has strengthened his faith, and what it means to remain set apart while still being an athlete. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to compromise your faith to fit into the room God placed you in. You can stand for Jesus even in the locker room.

    What are Soul Ties?? Can you have a soul tie without ever having sex? Can a friendship become a soul tie? Why do you STILL think about someone you’re no longer with or even no longer friends with? In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I’m sitting down with my leader Britney T, who has walked with me through almost every season, to talk about soul ties, emotional attachments, friendships, relationships, and what it looks like to invite the Lord into every connection we have. This conversation gets REAL. You might realize there are some connections you need to surrender to God.

    EP. 51 || THE TRUTH ABOUT BECOMING SOMEONE YOUR PAST DOESNT RECOGNIZE

    What happens when God changes you so much that the people from your past no longer recognize who you’ve become? In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Jairus to discuss his powerful new album, “Who You Once Knew,” and the deeper message behind it. Together, we talk about the transformation from Saul to Paul, what it means to leave your old life behind, and why becoming the person God created you to be often comes with misunderstanding, loss, and growth. If you’ve ever heard, “You’ve changed,” this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: * Why God doesn’t call you to stay the same. * The journey from Saul to Paul. * Letting go of old identities. * Why growth can cost relationships. * The story and inspiration behind “Who You Once Knew.” * Embracing the person God is calling you to become.

    EP. 50 HOW TO HEAL AFTER A BREAKUP (GOD CHANGED EVERYTHING) W/ DARRION K

    What do you do when the life you prayed for suddenly falls apart? In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, Darrion shares her raw testimony of walking through heartbreak after believing she was on the path toward marriage. From the excitement of planning a future to unexpectedly finding herself single again, she opens up about the grief, disappointment, questions she wrestled with, and the incredible healing God brought through what felt like her wilderness season. If you've ever wondered: • How do I heal after a breakup? • Why would God allow this to happen? • How do I trust God when my plans fall apart? • Can God restore my heart after heartbreak? • What does healing actually look like? ...this conversation is for you. Heartbreak doesn't have the final word. God meets us in our deepest pain, restores what feels impossible, and often uses our greatest disappointments to draw us closer to Him than we ever imagined. Whether you're walking through a breakup, grieving a relationship you thought would last forever, or simply waiting on God's timing, our prayer is that this episode reminds you that your story isn't over.

    EP. 49 WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE TO PICK UP YOUR CROSS DAILY

    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. No amount of trying harder or relying on my own strength was enough. Freedom came when I stopped trying to control everything and let Jesus take the wheel. In this episode, we discuss: • Mental health and faith • Our Saul to Paul moments • The battle with sin and finding true freedom in Christ • What surrender really looks like • Living out Matthew 28:19 by making disciples • Why your testimony matters more than you think • How Jesus transforms hearts—not just habits  Matthew 28:19 (NLT): "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." If this conversation encouraged you, don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and share this episode with someone who needs hope today. We're praying that every episode in Season 2 reminds you that no one is too far gone for God's grace and that He can use your story for His glory.
