Sometimes it looks like something you’ve normalized for way too long.Forgiving people who never apologized.Forgiving herself.And forgiving past versions of her that were just trying to survive.Freedom didn’t come when she tried harder.It came when she let go.If you’ve been asking God for deliverance but haven’t dealt with forgiveness yet—this episode might be your confirmation.🎧 Listen prayerfully.Because forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s power.

    WILL THE WORLD TRULY SATISFY MY SOUL?? | MADY COMEAUX

    In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I sit down with Madelyn Comeaux for a testimony that will completely change the way you see God’s redemption. Madelyn opens up about growing up in a world of drugs, abuse, and unimaginable loss, including the death of her dad. With no spiritual foundation and no one to guide her, she found herself searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places, only to hit rock bottom.In the lowest moment of her life, Madelyn encountered God on her own. No church background. No safety net. Just a desperate heart crying out for change. What followed was a complete transformation that only God could orchestrate. Today, Madelyn is serving in leadership at one of the largest churches in Louisiana and is now pursuing Bible school as she continues to walk fully in her calling.This episode is about addiction, grief, trauma, obedience, and the faith it takes to trust God when everything around you says to give up. It is proof that the world will never satisfy what only God was meant to fill. If you have ever felt too far gone, too broken, or too lost to be redeemed, this conversation is for you.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1svmEnWwwTV3XmMhWRCS51?si=HMJhUIT3RF-B7Fmfyv_OAAApple Podcasts: The Pruning Podcast

    Life Lately: Clarity, Comparison & Being the Light

    In this solo episode, I sit down to share what’s been happening in my life lately—the highs, the struggles, and the moments of clarity that have reshaped my perspective. I dive into the topic of comparison and how easy it is to fall into the trap of looking at someone else’s journey instead of trusting God’s timing in our own. I also talk about contentment—what it really looks like to find peace where you are instead of always chasing what’s next. And finally, I reflect on what it means to be the light of the world, even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you’re in a season of transition, wrestling with doubts, or just needing some encouragement, I hope this episode reminds you that God’s got you exactly where you need to be.
