  • 10. what to do after family betrayal, trauma and abandonment (and how Christ restores you)


    Have you ever felt like you let God down — and didn’t know how to come back from it? In this heartfelt episode, we dive into John 21, where Jesus meets Peter after his denial… not with anger, but with restoration. Through the powerful words “Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep,” Jesus reminds us that when we don’t know what to do next, He gives us direction, purpose, and grace to begin again.


    This is for the one who’s trying to find their way back — who’s been forgiven but still wonders, “What now, Lord?” You’ll hear how the Holy Spirit gently guides us, how God uses our gifts even after failure, and how restoration leads to calling.


    ✨ You’ll be encouraged to:

    •See how Jesus restores rather than rejects

    •Understand the meaning behind “feed my sheep”

    •Trust God’s Spirit to lead you when you’re unsure what to do next

    •Walk in your purpose, healed and whole


    If you’ve ever denied Him, doubted Him, or drifted away — this episode will remind you: God still has a plan for you. 💛

    Take 4 minutes to be refreshed. 🌿 In Proverbs 5:15 we’re reminded, “Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.” God has already placed His Spirit within you—His living water flows in your heart. You don’t have to chase what the world offers; you already carry His presence. In this short word, be encouraged to drink deeply through His Word, worship, and time with Him, and discover the joy of drawing from the well that never runs dry.

  • 08. family estrangement, rejection and abandonment (and what to do now)

    Have you ever felt like God was stripping everything away—people, family, friendships, even opportunities you thought were meant for you? It can feel lonely and painful, but what if the pruning isn’t just about what He’s removing around you… it’s about what He’s doing inside of you?🌿 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.” – John 15 🌿In this message, we’ll walk through John 15 and discover the heart of a Father who lovingly prunes—not to harm you, but to draw you closer. He prunes our desires, our expectations, even the longing for others to have the same closeness with Him that we do. And in that process, He is inviting you into the most beautiful thing of all: a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. 💜Pruning isn’t the end—it’s preparation. God is making room for new growth, lasting fruit, and a life that reflects His glory. 🍇✨If you’ve been feeling cut back or left empty, this video will remind you: you’re not being abandoned… you’re being cared for by the Gardener’s hands.📖 Scripture: John 15💌 Stay until the end for encouragement to keep abiding in Him when pruning feels heavy.00:00 Introduction to Pruning Seasons00:21 Welcome to Pure Surrender Podcast00:37 Personal Revelation and Conference Experience01:49 Scripture Reading: John 1503:11 Prayer for Guidance and Understanding03:51 Understanding Pruning in Life06:27 Surrendering Desires to God07:48 Types of Pruning Explained10:17 Encouragement to Abide in Christ11:58 Reflection and Final PrayerListen to the podcast onSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/39Ope4PHKxHOueJhSZ7aTD?si=YUsVQV9qQryMqdNJFeAVow&nd=1&dlsi=6e643f3584b64f6c Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pure-surrender-podcast/id1836325555

  • 06. scripture and prayers for grieving the parent you wish you had.

    Grief has a way of leaving us empty, misunderstood, and searching for answers. Maybe you’ve prayed for something with all your heart, like Hannah in 1 Samuel, and it feels like God hasn’t heard you. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of loss, or waiting for something that hasn’t come yet.


    In this episode, we walk through Hannah’s tears and prayers, and how God not only blessed her with a child but—more importantly—drew her closer to Himself. Her story reminds us that sometimes our situation doesn’t change right away, but God changes us. He meets us in the broken places, teaching us to “nurse” our relationship with Him first, and to let His presence be the comfort we’ve been aching for.


    We’ll also lean into the promise of Revelation 21:4: a day is coming when there will be no more tears, no more pain. But even now, God holds you. He holds your child. He holds the pieces of your story, and He’s inviting you back—into His arms, His comfort, His peace.


    ✨ This is a message for the one who feels forgotten. For the one grieving in silence. For the one rededicating their heart and nursing their soul back to Him. You are not alone—God is with you.


    📖 Scriptures in this episode:

    •1 Samuel (Hannah’s grief and God’s faithfulness)

    •Revelation 21:4 (no more tears, no more pain)


    🙏 May this message bring you closer to the God who loves you, hears you, and is holding you even now.

  • 05. the 2 different types of grief (and scriptures for healing)

    Grief is something every believer will face—but not all grief leads to life. In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between worldly grief and godly grief through the lens of Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7, 2 Corinthians 13, Romans 9:2, and Revelation 21:4.


    Worldly grief keeps us stuck in shame, despair, and hopelessness. But godly grief draws us closer to Jesus, leading us to repentance, transformation, and healing. God doesn’t waste your pain—He uses it to shape you, strengthen you, and equip you to help others. The enemy wants you bound by sorrow, but God calls you to fix your eyes on Him and step into the freedom only He gives.


    If you’ve been wrestling with grief, loss, or heartache, this conversation will remind you that God sees your tears, He promises comfort, and He is faithful to restore joy.


    ✨ Listen in and be encouraged to let grief do its holy work—changing you into who God has called you to be.
