We're not doing the usual “new year, new you” nonsense. Samantha lays out a radically practical (and deeply spiritual) approach to creating a year of focus, clarity, and momentum: start with identity, not goals.After hosting two in-person VIP Days—whiteboard sessions where clients map everything from vision and leadership identity to team hires, fires, and brand ecosystems—Samantha noticed the same pattern: most people try to “do” their way into results… without ever becoming the person who can hold those results.In this episode, you'll learn how to define the identity you're stepping into, run a 2025 Reality Check using your calendar and camera roll, and use the Be–Do–Have framework to change your self-concept so your habits (and results) stop collapsing like a cheap lawn chair.If you want 2026 to reward you, it's going to require discernment, discipline, and the guts to cut what drains you—even if it's profitable. KEY TOPICS:Why 2026 will reward leaders who are self-led, focused, and radically clearThe real meaning of “clear your channel, change your life”What Samantha does inside a VIP Day (identity, vision, ecosystem, team, systems)How to define your next-level identity (sensory + embodied, not vague)The trap of “I want a million dollars/downloads” without identity alignmentThe 2025 Reality Check: using your Google Calendar + camera roll as dataThe green/red method: what energized you vs. what drained youWhy you must stop keeping work just because it makes money“Pruning” your life without making it dramatic: letting things fall awayBe–Do–Have: why behavior change fails without self-concept changeHow identity creates consistency (and why “motivation” is overrated)Samantha's athlete story: “I became an athlete before I looked like one”Treating your energy like a business resource—and protecting it accordinglyWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityOwn It with Samantha Warren, identity work 2026, goal setting mindset, how to change your identity, be do have method, self-concept transformation, leadership identity, discipline and consistency, protect your energy, focus and clarity, annual review exercise, reality check exercise, Google Calendar audit, personal growth strategy, entrepreneur mindset, spiritual entrepreneur, thought leader strategy, visibility and impact, habits vs identity, stop self-sabotage, manifestation and identity

Pruning is one of the most influential decisions vineyard owners and operators make each season, and in this solo Q&A episode, Fritz tackles the most common — and most misunderstood — questions he hears in the field. Drawing on hands-on experience, Fritz walks listeners through the practical realities of dormant pruning, why it matters far beyond vine appearance, and how pruning choices directly impact vine balance, yield, and long-term vineyard health. Throughout the episode, Fritz addresses real-world concerns from growers, including how aggressive pruning should be, what mistakes show up most often in young versus mature vineyards, and how to adapt pruning strategies to site conditions and vine vigor.  Fritz explains how pruning windows can influence bud burst and frost risk, and why "earlier is always better" isn't necessarily true. He highlights warning signs that a vineyard may be over- or under-pruned and offers guidance for adjusting course before problems compound over multiple seasons. This episode is particularly valuable for vineyard owners who want to move beyond rote pruning rules and better understand the "why" behind their pruning decisions. By the end, listeners will have clearer expectations for what good pruning should accomplish and how small, intentional changes can pay dividends in vine performance and fruit quality over time. In this episode, you will hear: Pruning decisions directly influence vine balance, yield, and longevity Over-pruning and under-pruning both create long-term vineyard challenges Timing of pruning can affect bud break and frost exposure Vine vigor should guide pruning intensity, not habits or tradition Small adjustments made consistently can improve vineyard performance Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Episode 6 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a collision of high standards and real humanity—where big goals meet even bigger intention.Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun welcome a powerhouse lineup: Chris Vester, Maria Quattrone, Alan Whitman, Mike Modica, Matt McHale, with Jim Sabellico jumping in briefly to give flowers where they're due.This episode moves fast—but it lands deep.You'll hear Maria Quattrone share her 2026 word—Fearless—and the launch of her coaching and course work, including the Listing Boss 90-Day Listing Accelerator. She reflects on how consistency and community carried leaders through the unexpected, and later drops a rapid-fire “top lessons of 2025” that hits like a leadership manifesto: clarity, boundaries, momentum on boring days, and why rest is a strategy—not a reward.Chris Vester brings his signature grounding presence: 2025 was Pruning—not loss, but intentional elimination for growth. 2026 becomes Alignment, tied directly to his mission and advisory work, Align Your Nine. He reminds the room that “no is a complete sentence,” and that fewer, better things often unlock the next chapter.Then Alan Whitman, author of Break the Mold, unpacks the journey of transforming and scaling a traditional CPA firm—and why his 2026 must be Intentional, as he prepares to step into a new CEO role for a private equity-backed platform built to manage, protect, and grow prosperity for SMBs. He shares a practical speaking lesson that sticks: if you're trying to stop saying “um,” don't replace it with more words—replace it with a pause.Mike Modica adds the operator's perspective: Discipline and becoming Replaceable—not to disappear, but to scale through systems, trust, and leadership development in a high-stakes world where mistakes cost real money.And Matt McHale stitches it together—stewardship, leverage, and discipline—showing how relationships, consistent learning, and leadership development create compounding returns.If you're stepping into 2026 with a word, a vision, or a calling—this episode will sharpen it.

Pruning is preparation, and it produces lasting fruit. This Sunday, Dehavilland Ford challenged us to stay rooted in the vine and to see this season not as punishment, but as God's careful work of formation. She reminded us that what feels like loss, delay, or cutting is often God creating space for greater fruit to grow. This message invited us to remain connected to Jesus and to resist the pressure to prove, rush, or manufacture outcomes. Fruit that lasts is never produced through hype or effort alone, but through a life anchored in Christ. As we step into a new season as a church, this word grounded us in the reality that abiding in Christ is what truly sustains vision, endurance, and love.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speaker Dehavilland Ford.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/  

A first-hand video report shows Palestinian Authority forces terrorizing Jews in Area C of Judea and Samaria—raising serious questions about security, Oslo-era agreements, and what's really unfolding on the ground. Today's podcast examines newly surfaced footage of PA forces blocking roads and training with heavy weapons, alongside stark warnings from Israel's Defense Minister that Judea and Samaria could face an October 7–style attack. With Israeli counterterror operations reducing terrorist attacks by over 80% in 2025, officials stress that sustained IDF presence and buffer zones are essential to prevent terrorist groups from re-establishing themselves. Today's episode also breaks down statistics that the media often ignores: terror trends in 2025, Israel's growing population, rising birth rates among Jews, declining mortality, and a 25% increase in Israel's GDP—all pointing to a very different reality than what the media often portrays. From Israel's recognition of Somaliland's independence and the riots taking place in Iran to demographic shifts and spiritual awakenings inside Israel, The Israel Guys connect the dots between security, sovereignty, and truth on the ground.  Join The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/ Join The Israel Guys member program: https://israelguys.link/TIGmember Purchase an "Israel" patch hat: https://theisraelguys.store/products/israel-1948-cap Sign up for the men's Pruning trip to Israel: https://serveisrael.com/volunteer/pruning/ Follow The Israel Guys on Telegram: https://t.me/theisraelguys  Follow Us On X: https://x.com/theisraelguys  Follow Us On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theisraelguys Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theisraelguys Source Links:  https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/420199 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/420192 https://thejewishedition.com/topics/health-medicine/2025/12/31/jewish-population-booms-media-see-malaise/ https://x.com/DovLipman/status/2000208282145673618?s=20 https://x.com/FrumTikTok/status/2005854810780717113?s=20 https://belaaz.com/news/at-least-2-killed-by-police-at-mass-protests-against-iranian-regime-in-tehran-elsewhere/  

In this New Year's Eve episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. Taniqua reflects on a year shaped by caregiving, profound loss, perimenopause, and unexpected renewal.After losing her mother to metastatic cancer and navigating grief alongside major life transitions, Dr. Taniqua introduces her word for 2026: pruning—the intentional act of cutting away what no longer serves in order to create space for growth, fruitfulness, and ease.This episode is both a reflection and an invitation: to pause, take stock of who you've become, and courageously release the habits, obligations, and expectations that are weighing you down in midlife.

Have you ever walked through a season that felt uncomfortable or confusing, where things you once relied on began to fall away?In this episode, I am joined by Landry Bowers as we talk about spiritual pruning and why it is not a punishment, but a loving part of how God grows us. Just like a gardener prunes a plant so it can thrive, God removes what no longer serves us to make room for deeper growth and greater blessing.We look at biblical examples, including the Israelites' journey, to remind us that discomfort often comes before breakthrough and that trusting God in pruning seasons is essential to our faith.If you are in a season where things feel stretched, uncertain, or hard to understand, this conversation will encourage you to trust that God is working, even when it does not feel easy.Key Takeaways• Spiritual pruning leads to growth and renewal• Discomfort often comes before blessing• Pruning is a lifelong part of following God• Trusting God helps prepare us for what is nextYou can find Landry at:Honey Talk Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/11yoVcJ4GuItHYOIi9g3ME?si=G4e1h3bhTeKVp3IgX3sFWAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/honeytalkpodcast?igsh=dnF3NTd6cnk5NHpr

ADVENT WEEK THREE: JOYDecember 17 Rev. Jenny WynnTending Toward JusticeJohn 15:1-11I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joymay be complete. John 15:11As a child, I was heartbroken watching my dad remove flowers and tomatoeson brand new plants before planting. I couldn't understand why he would dothis to the plant. Eventually, I learned about pinching, deadheading, and prun-ing. Each requires removing parts of plants at specific growth stages. Thisallows for redirection of energy for fuller growth and better tasting fruits. Ilearned careful tending leads to deep joy at harvest time.John 15:1-12 uses the metaphor of a gardener and a vine to illustrate an abid-ing relationship with God and Christ that is rooted in love. This relationshipproduces fruitful discipleship. When the vine branches stop producing fruit,they need some pruning to redirect energy toward what truly matters, love.In Advent, as we long for a fruitful future free from violence, scarcity, anddeath-dealing systems, we must ask: what needs pruning in our lives andcommunities? Perhaps our tendency to judge rather than love, our impulse tohoard resources instead of sharing with those in need, or our silence whenfacing injustice?Pruning may be difficult, but when harvest comes, when everyone has enough,communities are healed and restored, joy is made complete. Just as my fa-ther's careful removal of early fruit led to abundant tomatoes, spiritual pruningredirects our energy toward love and justice, and toward cultivating the worldthat we seek.Take time to notice moments when you're tempted to judge, hoard, or stay si-lent. In those moments, ask: “How can I redirect this energy toward love?” Letthese redirections be your pruning practice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The online world is a weird place for Christians.You've got some legitimate life-changing, amazing, faithful humans doing amazing things as they partner with God in their business...Then you've got people who did it their way, and then label their success as God's doing...just to attract Christians into their orbit to monetize.In this conversation, Vince and Mukwenda talk about legitimately doing things differently. Allowing God to be a partner in your business. Letting go of outcomes. Worrying less about tactics and more about obedience.The answers aren't always what we want them to be, because the truth is, God disciplines those He loves. He prunes us so that we bear more fruit.There's no escaping the challenging times. The question is, what do we do in them?And how do we find peace within our businesses when it seems that business these days is all about hustle and grind and "being self made"?Find out in this epic talk.In this episode:0:00 Intro1:16 Faithustle origin story11:00 Where do the tactics come in?14:00 If God's not in your business...25:26 Open doors vs closed doors36:53 Being pruned41:00 Learn moreResources:Mukwenda on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefaithustle/Faithustle: https://thefaithustle.com/tour---

Winter is arriving in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!Many of our listeners will know Martin Fish from his wonderful podcast Pots and Trowels - a gardener very much anchored in the Northern climes of the UK but also a Senior Show judge, Gardens advisor for the RHS and former nursery man. Martin (along with his wide Gill) has been an ever present fixture at many Flower Shows and always has his finger on the pulse of gardening in this country. So we have a good chat about the state of horticulture especially at the Flower Shows and also a little insight into his new garden too.LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Ending Well: A Pruning Deep Dive  This is week six of the Ending Well series, and we're talking about something a lot of us are living through in real time: pruning—the cutting away, the stripping back, and the strange mercy of God doing holy surgery on our lives at the end of a hard year. "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 ⏱ Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Intro + Why open enrollment and health insurance feel like a bad rite of passage 03:00 – CrowdHealth: what it is, how it works, and why it's different from insurance 06:00 – Week six of Ending Well: why pruning is the theme of this year 09:30 – Defining "pruning," "fruit," "wilderness," and "discipline" (without the Christianese) 15:30 – John 15 and how Blake accidentally prayed for pruning this year 20:00 – Wilderness seasons: dry, slow, hidden growth, and deep dependence on God 25:30 – Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through this year 30:00 – Loss and closed doors: when God rips things out of your hands 36:00 – Being forced to slow down or stop: "You can't heal on the battlefield that broke you" 41:00 – Loneliness, isolation, and when God clears the table so you can hear His voice 46:00 – Idols exposed: productivity, performance, and the golden statue God started tearing down 52:00 – When God prunes even good things (like the gym, routines, and rhythms you love) 57:00 – "Show me the purpose, Lord": praying for clarity in the middle of the mess 1:02:00 – How pruning makes you more like Jesus and prepares you for the "next level" 1:08:00 – Toy bins, clutter, and why fewer branches can mean more joy 1:12:00 – How to walk through pruning differently next time: slow down, surrender, obey faster 1:17:00 – Being honest with God instead of stuffing frustration and disappointment 1:21:00 – Why opening your Bible became survival, not a checkbox 1:25:00 – Friendship breakups as pruning: betrayal, loneliness, and healing with a limp 1:30:00 – Counting the fruit at the end of a brutal year What This Episode Is Really About In this deep dive, Blake unpacks pruning not as a punishment but as proof that God cares too much to leave you overgrown and exhausted. You'll hear about: How this year's pruning looked like: job pivots relational shifts homeschooling struggles closed doors and changed direction Why pruning is always connected to fruit, but not the kind the world celebrates Not achievement, numbers, or hustle But love, joy, peace, wisdom, humility (Galatians 5:22–23) The difference between: Punishment vs. discipline Chaos vs. God's clarifying love (Hebrews 12:6) Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through: Loss of things she thought she needed Doors slamming shut at the last second Conviction and refinement in hidden places Being forced to slow down or stop entirely Loneliness and isolation when life got too loud Idols exposed—especially productivity and performance The trimming of even good things to make room for better Blake also shares how her prayer shifted from: "God, why are You doing this?" to "Show me the purpose, Lord." And how that shift opened the door to real trust, deeper Bible hunger, and new fruit she couldn't see while God was still hacking away at the branches.

Episode Overview In this powerhouse episode, John Kitchens sits down with Oklahoma City powerhouse and brokerage owner Will Mahan for a raw, real, and revealing conversation about leadership, obsession, building culture, and the evolution every top-producing agent must go through to truly become a CEO. Will takes us through his 15-year journey—from life insurance to top-tier real estate producer, to team leader, to eXp influencer, and now the founder of a rapidly growing hybrid brokerage built around entrepreneurship, investing, and true wealth creation. He breaks down why most agents stall out, why leadership matters more than ever, and how to build a business that aligns with your strengths, your energy, and your long-term vision. If you're craving clarity on scaling, culture, leadership, and building a business that actually gives you time, money, and location freedom, this episode will hit you right between the eyes. Key Topics Covered Will's Origin Story & Early Pivots How selling life insurance built the foundation for his real estate success Why obsession—not interest—is the real separator in this industry The mentors who shaped his business mindset and leadership style The CEO Shift: From Hustling to Building a Business How Will realized "commission checks" weren't the same as "building a business" The mindset traps that hit agents once they reach $250K… $500K… and even $1M GCI Why ego is the silent killer of progress Leadership, Culture, and Obsession The difference between being interested, committed, and obsessed Why humility is the single greatest leadership trait What Will looks for in mentors and why "yes-men" are dangerous The Decision to Launch His Own Brokerage The strategic thinking behind leaving eXp How he identified a massive gap in the OKC market The rise of the Hybrid Agent and why his brokerage attracts entrepreneurs, investors, and multi-cultural talent Building a culture where agents learn flipping, BRRRR, private money, and wealth-building methods—not just how to get commissions Why Most Agents Never Grow—Even at 7 Figures The harsh truth: agents stop doing what got them to success The false comfort of leverage when you don't reallocate your time correctly How agents accidentally sabotage their growth by abandoning the fundamentals Pruning for Growth: Cutting 30% of His Brokerage Why Will intentionally reduced his agent count to increase production The dramatic results: double the transactions with fewer agents What his top 25 agents do that the others don't: They show up They take notes They stay coachable They stay consistent The Heart of the Business: People, Passion, Purpose – Why leading with energy and passion fuels culture – The fulfillment that comes from watching agents become wealthier, empowered, and confident – How to create a business that supports your life—not the other way around Resources & Mentions – The Need to Lead by Dave Berke – Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin – Agent to CEO Coaching Framework – John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway You don't build a real estate business by accident—you build it with clarity, consistency, leadership, and obsession. As Will demonstrates, the path to real freedom comes from knowing who you are, what energizes you, and building the business that aligns with that vision. "Show up with passion. Show up with energy.

Presented by Julie Busteed Do you like to work in the garden? I love to see the results of all the work—planting, watering, weeding and pruning. In John 15, Jesus teaches the Father is the gardener who lovingly tends the vine. Part of that tending is pruning. Pruning is essential to the life of a vine, and Scripture uses that imagery to help us understand our own life with Christ. In a vineyard, pruning renews the vine and shapes it. Without pruning, a vine grows wild. It will produce many shoots and leaves but far fewer grapes. The gardener cuts back healthy branches—not to harm the vine, but to help it focus its energy so it can thrive. Pruning makes room for new growth and greater fruitfulness. Pruning happens when the vine is dormant, after the harvest season. Even in dormancy, the vine is still alive and still supplying what the branches need. This resting period isn't wasted time; it's preparation. The vine is strengthening its core, preserving its energy, and getting ready for the next season of growth and fruitfulness. In the same way, God prunes us. Seasons of pruning might feel like cutting back, slowing down, or letting go. God may remove distractions, attitudes, habits, or commitments that keep us from bearing fruit. Sometimes he even prunes good things so better things can grow. These seasons can feel quiet—almost dormant—but God is still at work, nourishing, shaping, and preparing us. Pruning is so important because it leads to even greater fruit. Jesus says, every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit (John 15:2). Pruning isn't punishment—it’s intentional care from a Father who wants our lives to flourish. When we remain connected to Christ, the true Vine, we can trust his pruning is purposeful. It clears away what hinders us, renews us, and positions us for greater growth in the seasons to come. For the Christian, pruning is a mark of God's love and his desire to make our lives fruitful, meaningful, and deeply rooted in him. When we stay connected to Christ, every season—even the dormant ones—becomes part of his transforming work in us. Joseph's life in the Old Testament is a powerful picture of pruning before fruitfulness. He endured deep hardship—sold into slavery by his own brothers, then falsely accused and imprisoned. Yet through every season of suffering, God was shaping his character and preparing him for a greater purpose. In time, Joseph was elevated to second-in-command under Pharaoh, where he used his God-given wisdom to save Egypt and ultimately rescue the very family who had betrayed him. His story reminds us seasons of pruning often precede seasons of remarkable fruit. May you and I remain faithful—connected to the true Vine—even during the dormant times. Even when we are being pruned. Because God is a loving Gardner and is doing this for even greater fruit in our lives.

Growers are turning to AI for vineyard advice — but what happens when the algorithms get it wrong? In this episode, Fritz sits down with Texas A&M Extension Viticulture Specialist Dr. Justin Scheiner to put artificial intelligence to the test and reveal where it helps…and where it falls flat. Fritz and Justin walk through real vineyard questions — on pruning cuts, choosing between cane and spur pruning, designing an effective spray program, and diagnosing puzzling leaf symptoms — then grade the answers provided by AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. Justin explains why, despite its convenience, AI can't replace Extension or experienced viticulture support. He breaks down how human experts interpret nuance, adapt recommendations to site-specific realities, and help growers navigate complex issues like fungicide resistance and disease pressure — areas where AI often oversimplifies to a fault. Listeners will come away with a grounded perspective on how to responsibly use AI in vineyard decision-making: as a tool for learning, not a blueprint for management. Justin also shares updates on forward-facing research at Texas A&M, including irrigation strategies powered by sensors and machine learning, and new work aimed at improving winery efficiency. In this episode, you will hear: AI can provide helpful general information — but often misses context critical for vineyard decisions. Pruning advice from AI may be incomplete or incorrect; human expertise is still essential. Spray program recommendations from AI can be risky without resistance management and site-specific strategy. Leaf symptom diagnosis requires more than a photo — pattern, vine history, and testing matter.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Veg Grower Podcast! I'm Richard, and my goal is to encourage and inspire you to grow more of your own food, no matter the space you have available. I share what I've been up to in my own allotment and kitchen garden here in Littlehampton on the south coast of the UK. After over 30 years of growing my own food, I'm still learning something new every single day. This week, I've been down on the allotment, getting stuck into some winter pruning, tending to my tools, and having a wander around the kitchen garden. Here's what's been happening. Winter Pruning It's that time of year to prune trees and bushes. I've been focusing on my apple and pear trees, both now fully dormant, making it easier to see the branches and plan the cuts. I start with the three Ds: Dead, Diseased, and Damaged branches. Clean, sharp secateurs are vital here to prevent spreading disease. These pruned branches go straight into the compost—yes, even the diseased ones, where they'll gradually break down over a few years. Next, I look for branches that cross or rub together and consider the overall shape and ventilation of the tree. Light and airflow are crucial for healthy growth, fruit production, and reducing fungal problems. One of my apple trees has been a bit of a challenge—it has a tendency to list over, despite staking. This week I hammered in a longer stake and tied the tree upright, then added straw mulch to protect the roots over winter. Mulching has worked really well this year, and I'm keen to continue using it wherever I can. Allotment Update Despite the cold weather, there's still plenty of life on the allotment. Some tender plants have succumbed to frost, but my brassicas and green manures are holding strong. The garlic is emerging nicely too, so I'm feeling optimistic about Christmas dinner straight from the garden! The council has been improving the roads and paths up to our allotment. The main track is still closed to vehicles, but it's looking much better than before. It's exciting to see this progress, although some neighbours have been trying to improve traction with old plant matter—trust me, it doesn't really work! After my allotment visit, I brought my tools home for a proper service. Tool Care Taking care of your garden tools is one of my passions. I give all my hand tools a thorough clean, sharpening, and treatment each year. Rust is removed, handles are sanded and treated with linseed oil, and metal parts are sharpened. I also use a bucket of sand mixed with used kitchen oil to store tools—it cleans, abrades, and coats them in one go. This simple routine keeps tools in great condition and ready to last for years. Chef Scott's Recipe of the Week This week, Chef Scott has been cooking Carrot and Parsnip Spiced Fritters. A brilliant way to use up stored root vegetables, these fritters are lightly spiced, crisp on the outside, and soft in the middle. Serve them with yoghurt or a poached egg—they're perfect as a light lunch, side dish, or garden snack. Ingredients: 2 medium carrots, grated 2 medium parsnips, grated 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 crushed garlic cloves 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp ground coriander 2 eggs 4 tbsp plain flour Salt and pepper Oil for frying Chopped parsley or coriander to garnish Method: Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated carrots and parsnips. Mix with onion, garlic, spices, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Adjust flour if too wet. Heat a splash of oil in a pan, spoon in mixture, flatten slightly, and fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and garnish. Feel free to swap spices—curry powder, garam masala, chilli flakes, or even grated apple can give a different flavour twist. Seed Planning Winter is also the perfect time to go through your seed collection.

Master Gardener Emily Clem talks with Urban Regional Extension Agent, Marcus Garner, about how to winterize your garden. Topics include pruning, mulching, and frost protection covers for plants during hard freezes. He also stresses the importance of tool maintenance and storage during the winter and suggests using the cold months to take inventory and plan for next year's garden. Other tips include wildlife deterrent, weather monitoring, and soil testing.Links:https://www.aces.edu/  (Alabama Cooperative Extension)https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/https://www.alcpl.org/Have questions about this episode?

✨ God's Pruning Shears Are Out — Preparing the Remnant for Kingdom Realignment | KIB 508

In this episode, we are discussing our next spiritual formation discipline: Pruning & Simplicity. Pruning is about cutting back so we can grow more fruitfully. It's recognizing the areas of our lives that are chaotic or distracting and making intentional choices to remove them. As we prune, we create space for God to work in us and in those around us. Simplicity goes hand-in-hand with pruning. It's about streamlining our lives so we can focus on who God is and what He wants for us. It's a reminder that busyness does not equal productivity, and that true spiritual growth often comes from removing the unnecessary. We'll challenge you to ask: What is God calling you to prune in your life? and explore how simplicity can lead to a deeper connection with Him. Episode Highlights:  Spiritual Formation Pruning Simplicity  Slowing Down to the Pace of God   Find More on Hope Bridge: Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Join our Prayer Network! Join The Bridge  

Are you in a season where God is cutting things back—relationships, opportunities, plans you thought were His will? You're not alone. This message reveals the surprising truth Jesus taught in John 15: God prunes not because you're failing, but because you're fruitful. In this sermon, Morgan shares a raw personal testimony of fasting, breakthrough, and unexpected loss—followed by the revelation that pruning is God's preparation for multiplication. Through Scripture, biblical examples, and practical wisdom, you'll discover: - Why God removes good things to prepare you for greater things - The five blessings hidden in every pruning season - The danger of resisting God's pruning—and the freedom of surrendering to it - How to survive “the drift” between cutting and new growth - How trust, thanksgiving, and perseverance unlock God's next chapter for your life If you've been confused, hurting, or wondering where God is in this season, this message will help you see His hand clearly, love His process deeply, and embrace the increase He's preparing you to carry. This isn't loss. It's love. It's preparation. And it's the doorway to your next harvest.

Pruned to Bear MoreIn the finale of our Difference Makers series, Pastor Brad teaches from John 15 on abiding and pruning. Abiding isn't a quick recharge—it's a plugged-in life with Jesus that produces real fruit. Pruning removes what siphons our energy into “leaves” (appearance, busyness, distractions) so more life can flow into what matters most: love, joy, peace, and the good of others. We get practical with three areas—schedule, downtime, and relationships—and ask God for courage to cut what keeps us from fruitfulness.DATE: 08/31/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
