In this episode of The Pruning Podcast, Kathlyn Celeste shares a deeply personal testimony of trusting God—not when healing came immediately, but when it didn’t

Kathlyn opens up about battling sickness in four out of her five pregnancies, walking through physical weakness while still carrying life, faith, and obedience. In those moments, she encountered God in a way that changed everything.

Even though the healing didn’t come right away, God revealed something greater:

• A deeper dependence on Him
• A stronger faith that wasn’t based on outcomes
• An intimacy with God that only comes through endurance

This episode is for anyone who has ever asked:

• “God, why not now?”
• “Why am I still walking through this?”
• “Can I trust You even when healing is delayed?”

Healing in God’s Kingdom isn’t always instant—but it is intentional, and it always reveals His heart.

This episode goes deeper than habits—it goes to the heart.

Alliah Harmon shares how weed, reckless spending, and spiritual numbness weren’t the root problem—unforgiveness was.

We talk about conviction, stewardship, and the moment God revealed that healing wouldn’t come through numbing, but through forgiving. We talk about spiritual numbness, discernment, and how addiction doesn’t always look “obvious.” Sometimes it looks like comfort. Sometimes it looks like routine. 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.

In this solo episode of The Pruning Podcast, I’m sharing what the Lord has been revealing to me about 2026—a year marked not just by passion, but sustained fire.

We talk about:

• Why 2025 was a year of pruning, but 2026 is a year of fruitfulness
• How pruning doesn’t stop fruit—it produces it
• The truth about being a consuming fire that doesn’t burn out after a moment, a season, or a camp high
• Why the fire Jesus gives is meant to be sustained, not temporary
• What’s coming next for The Pruning Podcast & upcoming special guests

This isn’t about hype.

This is about lasting obedience, endurance, and intimacy with God.

If you’ve been pruned, discouraged, or wondering if fruit is still coming—this episode is for you.

We’re closing out 2025 with a very special and heartfelt episode—and I couldn’t do it without my best friend, Gabby. This episode is our yearly debrief, a raw, honest reflection on everything this year stretched, broke, healed, and grew in us.

In this final episode of The Pruning Podcast for 2025, we talk about:

✨ Walking through the wilderness and hard seasons God has led us through

✨ What 2025 taught us about obedience, surrender, and trust

✨ Spiritual practices we’re taking with us into 2026

✨ Mindsets, habits, and cycles we’re leaving behind in 2025

✨ Navigating friendships and relationships in seasons of pruning

✨ What it looks like to stay faithful when life feels uncertain

This conversation is real, vulnerable, and full of those juicy moments that only come from walking closely with God—and doing life together through every season. If you’re in a hard place, a waiting season, or feeling stretched, this episode is for you.

Thank you for walking with us through another year of growth, pruning, and becoming. Here we go—last episode of 2025.

🌿 New beginnings start with deep roots.

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. 🌿

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.

In this episode, Mallery returns to share how she went from picking and choosing when to trust God to surrendering fully to Him. She talks about the weight of growing up in a single-parent household, the impact of Catholic tradition without true relationship, and her lifelong battle with anxiety and depression. Most importantly, she shares how encountering Jesus brought her from lukewarm faith into freedom, peace, and a real walk with Him. #ThePruningPodcast #ChristianPodcast #FaithOverFear #JesusEncounter #HealingInChrist #Testimony
