Cutting Down What’s Dying

✨ Episode 2 Summary In this episode, Danny reflects on how God sometimes has to cut away what’s no longer alive in our lives to make room for something new. Through the imagery of pruning and yardwork, we’re reminded that though cutting is painful, it’s also purposeful—and God’s goal is always fruitfulness, not loss. 🌳🙏 📖 Small Group Companion Guide Series: When Seasons Shift: Embracing Change with Grace *Episode 2: Cutting Down What’s Dying Key Verse: John 15:2 – “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” Reflect & Discuss: What’s something in your life that once brought joy but now feels lifeless?
