Purposeful Pruning: When God Prunes to Grow
In this episode, we dig into the deep spiritual work of pruning as described in John 15. What does it mean when God cuts back what seems fruitful? Can loss, obscurity, or silence be signs of revival — not its absence? Through Scripture, reflection, and honest conversation, we explore how abiding in Jesus, the True Vine, produces lasting fruit — and how pruning is not punishment, but preparation.
Key Themes:
- The three key points of pruning seasons: to be shaped and formed, to be purified and cleansed, when increase begins
- Why pruning seasons can be evidence of God’s presence
- How abiding relates to personal and corporate revival
- Recognizing the fruit that remains (John 15:16)
- Letting go of "growth" that God never planted
Scripture Focus:
📖 John 15:1–5 (The New King James Version and the Amplified Classic)
Takeaway Questions:
- Where might God be pruning you right now?
- What fruit are you chasing that might not come from abiding?
