When I Mistook Pruning for Punishment

from My Truth Podcast: Healing and Faith for Single Christian Women · host Tina Combs | Christian Speaker and Empowerment Coach

In this deeply personal reflection, Tina shares a season when obedience to God felt like a loss rather than a blessing. As doors closed, finances shifted, relationships changed, and stability was stripped away, it was easy to believe God was punishing her. But with time, wisdom, and revelation, she realized the truth: God was pruning — not punishing.This episode explores how God removes what cannot go with us into our next assignment, how pruning often feels like rejection or failure, and why the most painful cuts are sometimes acts of divine protection. If you’ve ever questioned God during a season of loss, felt misunderstood in your faith journey, or wondered why following God seems harder instead of easier, this episode will meet you right where you are.Season 5 continues with The Hidden Work of God — uncovering what God does in you before He does something through you.
