Episode 37: Abide Pt 2 - Pruning, Purpose, and Abiding in God's Word as a grieving mom - Retreat Session 2

Welcome to the second installment of our four-part teaching series on John 15:1-9. This episode contains a re-record of the complete audio from Session 2 of our 2025 Hope Mommies Retreat.  Kristin Hernandez explores how pruning–an often uncomfortable process–can lead to spiritual growth and fruitfulness. We dive into how God's Word prunes and cleanses us, as well as the distinction between being pruned and being cut off. Kristin also offers reassurance that while God is not the author of death, He can redeem even the deepest sorrows for good. We hope you are deeply encouraged as you listen and are reminded that our Heavenly Father–the Vinedresser–prunes with love, care, and intention.    Links: Hope Mommies Website Connect with us on Facebook Connect with us on Instagram Sponsor an episode of the HM Podcast   The Hope Mommies Podcast is a ministry of Hope Mommies, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that exists to bring bereaved families comfort, encouragement, and relational support as they continue to walk this side of eternity without their beloved son or daughter.
