What We Get Wrong About Pruning Our Lives

from VERSED Hosted by John Lawhon

I’m sure you have heard about the concept of plants and trees needing to be pruned in order to grow right? People take this idea and apply it to their own lives in terms of boundary setting. Prune back this relationship, prune back this kind of work I’m doing so I can spend more time with my family, prune back finances for XYZ. While the process of creating, setting, and sticking to boundaries is a good one, it is incorrectly applied to a biblical concept of pruning. Why? Well, we’re about to find out. If you would like to dive deeper into this, or other verses in the Bible, if you have a verse you would like to submit to have included in a future episode if have questions about the Bible that you would like answered in a bonus episode, or simply want to connect with me... text VERSED to 88474 or click here Also included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well.

Verse-By-Verse Ministry With Heather Darnall Heather Darnall This podcast is a way for people to dive deep into the Christian Bible with me as I read scripture verse-by-verse from various books/sections and break them down for a better understanding of the context, but moreover, to have a better relationship with Jesus. Additionally, I believe this podcast is a good starting point for anyone new to the Holy Bible, but is still good for anyone who is already well-versed. That being said, please take note that I'm not a scholar. I didn't grow up in the church, I didn't go to seminary school nor do I have any sort of qualifications that would highlight myself as some kind of guru. I'm simply a seeker for the truth of God in which is what I want to share with anyone whose heart is open to hear and receive it. But the main reason I started this podcast begins with a mini testimony: I grew up very worldly having no knowledge of Jesus, just His name and all the popular stories or miracles during His life - maybe one or two apostles nam RambamReflections: Daily Wisdom for Life Daniel Aharonoff Welcome to RambamReflections: Daily Wisdom for Life, your go-to podcast for navigating the complexities of the modern world through the lens of Rambam's teachings.
