About this listen
In this episode of Pastors Thriving, we dive into one of the most powerful — and honestly, most painful — passages in the Gospels: John 15.
It’s a chapter we love to preach… but hate to live. Jesus tells us that those who bear fruit will be pruned so they can bear even more. But what does that actually mean?
Kevin unpacks a deeply personal and biblically rich look at how pruning isn’t about punishment — it’s about preparation. And it almost always happens in the area that hurts the most: our relationships.
This episode is for the pastor who feels like things are being stripped away. It’s not rejection. It’s refinement.
🔎 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why pruning feels like loss, but is actually proof of love
- How to recognize when God is removing a relationship for your good
- What abiding really looks like when everything is being cut back
- How to hold onto God’s love when His hand feels like it’s hurting you
