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.

The Pruning Podcast — helping you through the pruning process.

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.

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.

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."

This isn’t just a testimony… this is a life that should’ve ended differently. 

In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, we sit down with Emma—the voice behind the testimony that shook Passion Conference 2026. What she shared didn’t just move people… it exposed the reality of what so many are silently going through. 

From abuse, toxic relationships, abortion, addiction, loss, and deep depression… to a radical encounter with Jesus that completely transformed her life—this story is raw, unfiltered, and real.

She was broken.

She felt too far gone.

She didn’t want to live anymore.

But God had other plans.

This episode is for the person who feels:

• Stuck in their past
• Bound by shame and guilt
• Lost, broken, or spiritually disconnected
• Like they’ve gone too far for God to restore them

Because the truth is… you’re not too far gone.

There are thousands of people suffering in silence, thinking they’re alone—but this testimony proves that God still delivers, God still restores, and God still transforms lives.

If you’re watching this, it’s not by accident. This could be the moment everything changes for you.

What is it really like getting into real estate at 21 with no blueprint, no 9–5 mindset, and a desire to break generational cycles?

In this episode of the podcast I’m joined by Kate & Tyler as we get real about being young in real estate, stepping out in faith, and learning lessons the hard way. From our first deals to the mistakes we wish we could avoid, this conversation is for every young person who knows they’re called to more.

We talk about:

• Starting real estate in your early 20s
• What we WISH we knew before investing
• The reality of being a young investor (not as glamorous as it looks)
• Breaking generational curses & building wealth differently
• Faith, obedience, and trusting God in business
• Why you don’t have to follow the traditional 9–5 path

If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, or unsure where to start… this episode will remind you that you’re right on time.

• You are allowed to build wealth young.
• You are allowed to break cycles.

Becoming the Proverbs 31 woman BEFORE the relationship

THIS EPISODE IS SO, SO GOOD Y’ALL.

I sat down with Bella, and when I tell you the calling the Lord has over her life, music, and ministry is an understatement. She is one of the most intentional people I’ve ever met, and her heart for Jesus radiates in every conversation.

Bella is a graduate of Bethel School of Ministry, and she brings so much wisdom, humility, and encouragement into this episode. We dive deep into discernment in relationships and friendships, what it truly means to live as a “Lord, send me” believer, and how to see others the way Jesus sees them.

This conversation is all about walking in obedience, sharing the gospel boldly, and allowing the Lord to prune us so we can bear real fruit in our lives, relationships, and calling.

✨ If you’re navigating friendships, dating, ministry, or learning how to hear God clearly—this episode is for YOU.

This is the conversation every woman needs to hear. ✨

In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, Kathlyn Celeste shares a deeply personal testimony of trusting God—not when healing came immediately, but when it didn’t

Kathlyn opens up about battling sickness in four out of her five pregnancies, walking through physical weakness while still carrying life, faith, and obedience. In those moments, she encountered God in a way that changed everything.

Even though the healing didn’t come right away, God revealed something greater:

• A deeper dependence on Him
• A stronger faith that wasn’t based on outcomes
• An intimacy with God that only comes through endurance

This episode is for anyone who has ever asked:

• “God, why not now?”
• “Why am I still walking through this?”
• “Can I trust You even when healing is delayed?”

Healing in God’s Kingdom isn’t always instant—but it is intentional, and it always reveals His heart.

This episode goes deeper than habits—it goes to the heart.

Alliah Harmon shares how weed, reckless spending, and spiritual numbness weren’t the root problem—unforgiveness was.

We talk about conviction, stewardship, and the moment God revealed that healing wouldn’t come through numbing, but through forgiving. We talk about spiritual numbness, discernment, and how addiction doesn’t always look “obvious.” Sometimes it looks like comfort. Sometimes it looks like routine. Sometimes it looks like something you’ve normalized for way too long.

Forgiving people who never apologized.

Forgiving herself.

And forgiving past versions of her that were just trying to survive.

Freedom didn’t come when she tried harder.

It came when she let go.

If you’ve been asking God for deliverance but haven’t dealt with forgiveness yet—this episode might be your confirmation.

🎧 Listen prayerfully.

Because forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s power.

In this solo episode of The Pruning Podcast, I’m sharing what the Lord has been revealing to me about 2026—a year marked not just by passion, but sustained fire.

We talk about:

• Why 2025 was a year of pruning, but 2026 is a year of fruitfulness
• How pruning doesn’t stop fruit—it produces it
• The truth about being a consuming fire that doesn’t burn out after a moment, a season, or a camp high
• Why the fire Jesus gives is meant to be sustained, not temporary
• What’s coming next for The Pruning Podcast & upcoming special guests

This isn’t about hype.

This is about lasting obedience, endurance, and intimacy with God.

If you’ve been pruned, discouraged, or wondering if fruit is still coming—this episode is for you.

We’re closing out 2025 with a very special and heartfelt episode—and I couldn’t do it without my best friend, Gabby. This episode is our yearly debrief, a raw, honest reflection on everything this year stretched, broke, healed, and grew in us.

In this final episode of The Pruning Podcast for 2025, we talk about:

✨ Walking through the wilderness and hard seasons God has led us through

✨ What 2025 taught us about obedience, surrender, and trust

✨ Spiritual practices we’re taking with us into 2026

✨ Mindsets, habits, and cycles we’re leaving behind in 2025

✨ Navigating friendships and relationships in seasons of pruning

✨ What it looks like to stay faithful when life feels uncertain

This conversation is real, vulnerable, and full of those juicy moments that only come from walking closely with God—and doing life together through every season. If you’re in a hard place, a waiting season, or feeling stretched, this episode is for you.

Thank you for walking with us through another year of growth, pruning, and becoming. Here we go—last episode of 2025.

🌿 New beginnings start with deep roots.

In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I sit down with Madelyn Comeaux for a testimony that will completely change the way you see God’s redemption. Madelyn opens up about growing up in a world of drugs, abuse, and unimaginable loss, including the death of her dad. With no spiritual foundation and no one to guide her, she found herself searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places, only to hit rock bottom.

In the lowest moment of her life, Madelyn encountered God on her own. No church background. No safety net. Just a desperate heart crying out for change. What followed was a complete transformation that only God could orchestrate. Today, Madelyn is serving in leadership at one of the largest churches in Louisiana and is now pursuing Bible school as she continues to walk fully in her calling.

This episode is about addiction, grief, trauma, obedience, and the faith it takes to trust God when everything around you says to give up. It is proof that the world will never satisfy what only God was meant to fill. If you have ever felt too far gone, too broken, or too lost to be redeemed, this conversation is for you.

GirlSSS GRAB your COFFEE and sit with us—this one’s so good! On this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I’m hanging out with the fabulous make-up artist Maddie G (aka MUA Maddie) for the ultimate girl-talk. We dive into:

• Hilarious first-date stories (that moment when he shows up… or doesn’t)
• Our acne journeys (because flawless skin is a myth and we’re embracing the real)
• The trap of comparing our beauty to others and how it steals our joy

Then, we shift the convo to something deeper: how to move from comparison culture to a Jesus-grounded identity. Because when we let comparison steal our joy, we lose sight of who Jesus says we are—fearfully and wonderfully made, unique, and deeply loved.

So tune in for laughter, realness, encouragement, and a shift. This one’s for the girls who are done letting comparison win and ready to walk in freedom and beauty—inside and out.

After hitting rock bottom, Ian packed up and moved to Belize — where God met him again and began to rebuild his heart, identity, and purpose. This conversation is raw, emotional, and filled with hope, healing, and Holy Spirit truth.
