🔥 Episode Summary:

Not every connection is meant to be carried forever.

In this raw and freeing solo episode, Todd explores what it means to love people deeply without tethering your identity to them — especially when their role in your life was meant to be temporary.

From spiritual assignments to relational pruning, Todd walks listeners through the emotional wisdom of releasing with peace, loving with boundaries, and letting go without guilt.

This episode is a spiritual reset for anyone carrying expired relationships, emotional codependency, or trauma-bonds that masquerade as divine connection.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

→ Discernment is required to know when a relationship has fulfilled its season.

Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV)

“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord…”

→ Just because something felt right doesn’t mean it’s meant to last.

John 15:2 (NIV)

“He cuts off every branch… that bears no fruit… and prunes those that do…”

→ Pruning isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.

Matthew 10:14 (NIV)

“If anyone will not welcome you… shake the dust off your feet.”

→ Sacred distance is not bitterness. It’s clarity.

Galatians 6:2,5 (NIV)

“Carry each other’s burdens… for each one should carry their own load.”
