The Pruning Podcast

IS FOLLOWING JESUS SUPPOSE TO FEEL THIS HARD?? | WITH LAYLA SMITH


Listen Later

I brought my sister Layla Smith back on the podcast and we’re getting super real about mental health, anxiety, depression, and what it actually looks like to follow Jesus when life isn’t cute or aesthetic.


This one’s for:

  • The person who feels alone in her thoughts
  • The one secretly struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts
  • The person trying to stay close to God but feeling like it’s just so hard


No sugarcoating. No fake perfection. Just real talk about how hard this Christian walk can feel sometimes — and how we still choose Him every single day.


Society makes it look like following Jesus is always peaceful, fun, and full of blessings… but let’s be honest. Sometimes it’s lonely. Sometimes you feel unseen. Sometimes you’re questioning everything. We’ve been there — and we want you to know you're not the only one.



Let’s have the conversation the Church doesn’t always talk about.

Let’s stop pretending we’re okay when we’re not.

And let’s talk about healing, hope, and how God still meets us in the dark.


If this hits home — comment, share, and send this to someone who needs to hear it. We love you. You’re not alone. 🦋
