A New Tree: Finding Purpose When Life Feels Fruitless | Pillay Place EP24

What if the reason you feel stuck isn't what you're doing — but where you're rooted?In this episode, Rahul and Van unpack one of the most quietly powerful moments in the Bible: the day God changed Abram's name to Abraham. Not because of what he'd done, but because of what he was destined to produce. And the same thing happens to every person who chooses faith in Jesus — a new tree gets planted inside of you, with new roots, a new identity, and a whole new capacity for fruit.Van shares what it felt like to go from Van Nguyen to Van Pillay — and how a name change is never just about the name. Rahul gets honest about a season before he found Jesus, including a cringe-worthy phone call and the grace that followed. Together, they explore what it actually means to be rooted in truth, and why clarity and confidence become so much more natural when your source is God.Prayer Of Salvation In Jesus Christ:"Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose from the dead. I receive You, Jesus, as my Savior and my Lord. Guide me and help me to do your will. Thank You for saving me, and giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let us know if you accepted Jesus by telling us in the comments. We would love to hear from you and celebrate with you."Life is not always easy — but life can get very simple if you're rooted in the truth."If you've been wondering where your fruit went, this conversation is for you.Subscribe for more faith-filled conversations that help you grow in purpose, peace, and everyday clarity. 🌱#PillayPlace #FaithPodcast #ChristianMindset #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianGrowth #FaithAndIdentity #PurposeDrivenLife #FaithOverFear #FamilyAndFaith #PeaceThroughFaithFind us on Spotify @pillayplacepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/6yDlDhEWsh21t2zeg7f5AC?si=B7-HfM0VR6SJuI2i7l4KdgYouTube: @pillayplacepodcast https://www.youtube.com/@PillayPlacePodcast
