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.

GirlSSS GRAB your COFFEE and sit with us—this one’s so good! On this episode of The Pruning Podcast, I’m hanging out with the fabulous make-up artist Maddie G (aka MUA Maddie) for the ultimate girl-talk. We dive into:

• Hilarious first-date stories (that moment when he shows up… or doesn’t)
• Our acne journeys (because flawless skin is a myth and we’re embracing the real)
• The trap of comparing our beauty to others and how it steals our joy

Then, we shift the convo to something deeper: how to move from comparison culture to a Jesus-grounded identity. Because when we let comparison steal our joy, we lose sight of who Jesus says we are—fearfully and wonderfully made, unique, and deeply loved.

So tune in for laughter, realness, encouragement, and a shift. This one’s for the girls who are done letting comparison win and ready to walk in freedom and beauty—inside and out.

In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, Ian Landry opens up about one of the most powerful redemption stories we’ve heard yet. From walking through divorce just one year into marriage, to losing his job, his home, and his car all in one day, Ian shares what it truly means to trust God through heartbreak, loss, and surrender.

After hitting rock bottom, Ian packed up and moved to Belize — where God met him again and began to rebuild his heart, identity, and purpose. This conversation is raw, emotional, and filled with hope, healing, and Holy Spirit truth.

If you’ve ever questioned where God is in your pain… this episode will remind you that even in the pruning, He’s still working. 🌿

This one’s deep, y’all. In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, me and my bestie Lexi Segura sit down for some real girl talk about surrendering in the seasons that break you. We talk about what it feels like when God starts removing things you thought you needed — the people, plans, and places you were sure were part of your story.

From heartbreak and rejection to waiting and silence, we dive into how those moments aren’t punishment… they’re protection. If you’ve ever felt like your life was falling apart, this conversation will remind you — maybe it’s actually falling into place.
