John 15:2 | What Pruning Actually Is

The pruning does not happen to the branches that are failing. It happens to the ones that are producing. That changes everything about how we interpret the hard seasons.Most of us assume the loss is punishment. Jesus says the Father prunes the fruitful branches. Not to hurt them. To increase them. This episode sits with what that means for worship leaders and anyone in ministry who is in a season of stripping and cannot tell the difference between loss and formation.
