Sometimes the healthiest growth starts with subtraction.

In this week’s Table Talk, we’re unpacking the idea of pruning — not as punishment, but as protection and purpose. From garden analogies to real-life stories, we talk about why letting go can be so hard, how to recognize “beautiful weeds” that look good but block fruit, and the practical ways God calls us to trim back so we can flourish.

We’ll explore:

• What biblical pruning really means (and why it matters)
• Simple questions to help you discern what needs to be cut back
• How to heal and protect yourself after hard cuts
• Why even “good things” can become obstacles to God’s best
• The fruit God grows in us when we stay connected to Him

If you’ve been carrying too much, clinging to things out of habit, or just sensing it’s time to make room for what matters most, this conversation is for you.
