Podcasts about Pruning

What do you do when something in your business is still making money, still getting attention, and still looks like a success from the outside… but deep down, you know it's no longer the right fit for where you're headed?In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the hardest business decisions I've made recently: retiring the STR Virtual Summit for Women.On paper, it was working. But the more I looked at what my audience actually needed, the more I realized the summit wasn't the best vehicle to help women in this industry create real momentum. It was delivering a ton of information—but not enough implementation. And if you've ever bought a course, joined a summit, or downloaded the freebie only to never fully use it… you know exactly what I mean.In this episode, I'm sharing:why I chose to walk away from something that looked successful from the outsidehow I knew it was time to stop offering more information and start creating more implementationthe three questions I've been using to evaluate whether something in my business still deserves a placewhat it looks like to strategically prune offers, projects, or commitments that are pulling focus from your bigger goalshow I'm rebuilding the STR Sisterhood around a simpler, more actionable model with monthly challenges, focused trainings, and live supportI'm also sharing the thought process behind the new pricing model and why I intentionally wanted the most hands-on, implementation-focused option to be the easiest one to say yes to.If you've been holding onto a property, a service, a marketing strategy, or even a business model that technically “works” but doesn't feel aligned anymore, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to make smart pivots, clear out what's no longer serving your next level, and build a business that actually supports the life you want to live—not just one that looks good on paper.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:01] My decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women and embrace a new direction for serving the community[01:21] Why courageous pivots require letting go of what no longer serves your mission[02:23] I share the real reason behind my decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women, and it comes back to the women I created it for[03:31] The difficult realization that the biggest barrier was never a lack of information—it was the ability to actually implement what was being learned [04:22] The concept of Strategic Pruning as the lesson I want listeners to carry with them beyond this episode[05:34] My three questions for identifying what to eliminate and refocusing your business priorities [06:04] My vision for rebuilding the STR Sisterhood into a year-round community focused on action, connection, and meaningful growth [07:16] I share the boundary I'm putting in place as I reshape the STR Sisterhood and my commitment to creating a hands-on STR Sisterhood experience for women [08:49] My reassurance that the STR Sisterhood community remains open while my deeper support shifts toward women ready to take action Golden Nuggets:“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”“Having to pivot does not mean you have failed; it means you're paying attention. Real failure isn't changing course. Real failure is staying loyal to something that has quietly stopped working just because you're afraid of what people will think if you let it go.”“Letting go of something good, so something better has room to grow, has a name. It's called Strategic Pruning, and it's one of the hardest disciplines there is for a high achieving woman to practice.”“A good thing that pulls your focus is more dangerous than a bad thing you could easily walk away from.”“Pruning what you love is not failing, it is how you make room for what comes next.”Enjoyed the show?

During this podcast, you will hear the ins and outs of God's design in Creation and how it speaks to those who listen closely and observe carefully. Many of the parables from the Gospels reference common themes in nature or tools in a land manager's toolbox, such as fire, sowing seeds, pruning, etc.. We hope this podcast illuminates the deeper connection between the natural world and your spiritual connection with God, the Creator. Don't just perform the tasks associated with working the land, there is more to grasp and yield from it. Take time to really consider what draws you to the natural world, the lessons it holds, and God himself. If you have questions please reach out, we'd be happy to pray for you! Enjoy.Learn.Share!

We speak with Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz about his latest satire, ‘Rosebush Pruning’, which follows a wealthy if perverse American family as they take up residence in a villa under the Catalonian sun. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Cameron-Wilson says that cinemas are suffering from the heat, Wimbledon and the World Cup with box office down 31%. He wasn't keen on #1, the live action version of Moana which lacks magic and mostly feels like a cartoon. Although it's not for everyone, he was more interested in #23, Rosebush Pruning, a black comedy about a family with an abundance of problems on a country estate with the likes of Jamie Bell, Callum Turner and Elle Fanning. It's a curate's egg with no narrative thrust. As it is shocking and nasty in places, it's not one for gentle souls. His highlight of the week is the Blu-Ray release of Oh! What a Lovely War, Richard Attenborough's directorial debut. A musical satire of the First World War with an amazing star cast, it holds up remarkably well. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's FarmCon Conversations starts with corn, soybeans, wheat, and the latest USDA numbers, but the better discussion is really about how Kevin thinks through risk, markets, business, and change. Kevin explains why he took profits on a bullish corn position after the USDA report did not deliver the acreage cut he expected, even though the market still rallied. His reasoning was simple: “When things change, I change.”A few ideas worth listening for: Corn and soybeans are carrying weather premium, but both still need fresh confirmation. Kevin explains why corn needs heat during pollination to keep adding premium, while soybeans need August weather, China, energy, or crush demand to bring in the next wave of buyers. Wheat is becoming an export-reliability story. The U.S. crop is historically tight, but Kevin spends more time on whether Russia can actually move wheat reliably through key export channels. FOMO is not a strategy. Kevin explains why he is still nibbling selectively in stocks, metals, and industrials, but refuses to chase just because other people are making money. Demand-driven markets give you more than one chance. Kevin talks about AI, metals, industrials, and commodities through the lens of finding real demand stories and waiting for better entries. Pruning is part of growth. Kevin shares why businesses often need to cut weak branches, stop watering dead plants, and focus more attention on what actually creates return. The sunk-cost trap hurts investors and business owners. Kevin explains why looking backward at what you already lost or spent can keep you tied to bad positions, bad projects, and bad decisions. A few more takeaways from Kevin: “The rearview mirror is super small. The windshield is super big for a reason.” “Most of the hay is made in doing the worst part of the job consistently on a daily basis.” “They mentally can't hold the magnifying glass still long enough to get a fire started.”

Welcome to Episode 666 of the Veg Grower Podcast. This week Richard has been juggling warm, humid weather, kitchen‑garden pruning, allotment challenges, and an exciting new project helping a young couple start their very first vegetable garden. It's a classic midsummer mix of maintenance, problem‑solving and inspiration. Here's what's been happening. In the Kitchen Garden The week began with early‑morning gardening sessions — the only time cool enough to work comfortably. Richard has been potting on cucumbers, cabbages, cauliflowers and kale, watering in the mornings to reduce slug activity, and making steady progress despite the heat. Grapevine Pruning A major job this week was pruning and training the productive grapevine. Richard explains how careful thinning improves fruit size and airflow, and shares his experiment with a Bramley apple grown from seed and trained as a step‑over tree. It's decorative, compact, and a fun long‑term project. Water Conservation A new rainwater collection system has been attached to the greenhouse, along with an additional water butt. With rainfall scarce, every drop counts. Down the Allotment Warm, humid weather has made allotment visits tricky, but straw mulch continues to keep beds moist and plants healthy. Richard has been heading down early at weekends to stay on top of jobs. Potato Problems A late frost in early May killed the foliage of the first‑early potatoes, and the harvest has been disappointing — only enough for a couple of meals from a whole bed. Richard reflects on how weather extremes affect yields and why growing your own food matters more than ever. Mixed Harvests Despite the potato setback, other crops have been more encouraging: Broad beans Courgettes Overwintered onions (small but usable) Rhubarb Tomatoes from the greenhouse Broad bean plants have been cut back, with roots left in the soil to return nitrogen. Straw Mulch: Still the Hero Straw mulch has once again proved invaluable, keeping potatoes and other crops less stressed and prompting Richard to buy another bale to replace what's been used. Recipe of the Week Warm Summer Cabbage & Herb Pan‑Fry This week's recipe is a simple, delicious cabbage dish perfect as a barbecue side. Finely shredded cabbage is sautéed with onions, garlic, wholegrain mustard, butter and fresh herbs. Quick cooking keeps it sweet, and it's a great way to use summer cabbage A New Vegetable Garden Project One of the most exciting parts of this week's episode is the start of a brand‑new edible garden for Lisa and Alistair, who have just moved into a house with a large front garden. Richard visited to help them plan their first vegetable patch, offering guidance on: Clearing and reorganising an overgrown compost area Removing unwanted trees Preparing a 10×20 metre vegetable area Planning for a greenhouse Installing sunk IBC water tanks Building raised beds (possibly from reclaimed sleepers) Garden designers John and Bryony will help shape the layout, and Richard will be checking in monthly to track progress. Listeners can follow the project on Instagram at Rooted at Belvedere.

God’s pruning process can feel difficult, but it is always guided by His love and purpose for our lives. In John 15:1-2, Jesus reveals that God is the gardener who carefully removes what prevents us from growing and producing lasting fruit. While pruning may involve letting go of things we value, God’s work is never meant to harm us—it is meant to help us become more fruitful. Just as a gardener trims away unnecessary branches to help a plant thrive, God sometimes removes distractions, unhealthy patterns, or even good things that keep us from experiencing His best. He knows where our energy is being spent and what needs to change so we can grow deeper in our relationship with Him. Although God’s pruning can be painful, we can trust the One doing the work. Our Heavenly Father sees the bigger picture and lovingly clears space for spiritual growth, renewed purpose, and the fruit of the Spirit to flourish in our lives. When we surrender what He asks us to release, we make room for greater dependence on Him. Highlights: God prunes our lives because He desires for us to grow and produce lasting spiritual fruit. A crowded life can spread our energy too thin and distract us from what matters most. God may remove both unhealthy things and even good things that keep us from His best. Pruning requires trust because God sees the growth and purpose that we cannot yet see. Letting go of what God removes creates room for deeper faith and transformation. The fruit of the Spirit grows when we remain connected to God and allow Him to shape our lives. Join the Conversation What is one area of your life where God may be inviting you to let go, create space, or trust His pruning process? How can you surrender that area to Him today?

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” – John 15:1-2, NIV Walking through a botanical garden, I noticed a pile of green stems, branches, and buds that had been cut off various plants and scattered on the ground. It seemed at first like someone had vandalized the garden. Just as I started to get angry about what I thought was a crime, I noticed a gardener at work farther down the garden path. He was cutting off parts of plants on purpose! That reminded me that pruning is actually healthy for plants, no matter how hard it may look for them to be cut. Gardeners prune plants to give them the energy and space they need to bloom fully. Pruning helps plants reach their full potential. Jesus reveals in John 15:1-2 that God prunes people. God cuts off what isn’t healthy and productive in our lives and gives us the help we need to be as fruitful as possible in our lives. In the plant world, a vine only has a certain amount of sap to give to its branches. If that sap is sent to 50 different tiny branches, none of them will produce big, juicy grapes. They will all be small and struggling. But if the gardener cuts those 50 branches down to five, all the energy from the sap will go into those five branches. The result will be fruit that’s healthy and sweet. The same is true for your soul. You only have so much energy. If your schedule is cluttered with too many activities, your limited energy will be spread so thin that you’ll become exhausted. You’ll be busy but not fruitful in the way God intended. Even though you’ll be doing a lot, you won’t be accomplishing what matters most from God’s perspective. That can all make your spiritual life feel like a wilted plant. You’ll feel burned out and unable to connect with God in the ways that will help your soul bloom fully. Sometimes, God asks you to step away from things that are clearly unhealthy. It’s easier to do that than to step away from good things God sometimes leads you away from, like a job that pays well but pulls you away from your primary calling, or a friendship that you’ve outgrown. When God prunes parts of your life, he does so because he wants to give you more blessings – but first, you need more space in your life to receive those blessings. Pruning can hurt. It can feel like you’ve lost an important part of your life, or even an important part of who you are as a person. But remember who the Gardener is. It’s your loving Heavenly Father, who has good purposes and plans for you. God doesn’t just hack away randomly; he prunes precisely what’s best for you to grow to reach your full potential. When God prunes your life, he’s clearing the way for a season of growth that you can’t even imagine yet. He wants your life to be like a beautiful garden that fulfills you and pleases him as he sees his good design for your life become a reality. You need to cooperate with God for that to happen, however. It’s vital to be willing to let go of whatever God wants to prune out of your life. So, take an honest look at your life right now. What’s taking the energy away from your relationship with God? Let the Master Gardener do his work to prune it away so you can grow and thrive! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how pruning is important for you to grow to reach your full potential, reflect on these questions: If you looked at your schedule as a garden, which areas feel the most overgrown or crowded right now? What’s one unhealthy activity you can prune out of your schedule this week to make more room for something that will help you grow closer to God? What’s one activity in your life that’s good but still might be keeping you from experiencing God’s best? How can you let go of it to make room for something better? When you feel God pruning something away from your life, how can you resist the urge to grab onto it and instead trust God to take it away? What kind of fruit of the Spirit (like patience, kindness, or peace) do you want to see more of in your life this season?

In this episode, I share what I've been moving through lately - a season of pruning. A quiet inner shedding of what no longer feels aligned so that something more true can emerge.We explore what it means to return to your authentic self beneath conditioning, perfectionism, and busyness - and how creating space, slowing down, and allowing ourselves to feel is what reconnects us to our creativity and inner truth.I also share a personal story of singing in a concert for the first time since eighth grade, and how that moment brought me back into the experience of shared voice, belonging, and creative aliveness.This is a conversation about remembering, beginning again, and choosing imperfection as a path back to life.In This Episode:* The season of pruning and inner alignment* Why space is necessary to hear your soul* How busyness disconnects us from ourselves* Emotional release and nervous system softening* Perfectionism as protection, not truth* Reclaiming creativity through imperfection* Singing in community and the experience of shared voice* Learning new things as a path back to aliveness* Choosing messy beginnings over waiting to be readyKey Themes:* Authentic self remembrance* Creativity as life force* Nervous system and slowing down* Community and shared expression* Courage to begin againReflection Questions:* Where am I pruning in my life right now?* What parts of me come forward when I slow down?* Where has perfectionism kept me from starting?* What is one thing I could begin imperfectly this week?If this resonates, I'd love to stay connected with you through my writing and upcoming gatherings.You can find me on Substack and through my website, where I'm slowly creating spaces for creativity, connection, and remembering together.Thank you for listening and thank you for being you.With love,ShannonShannonKinneyDuh.com | A Life That Lets Me Breathe Get full access to Shannon Kinney-Duh | A Free Spirit Life at shannonkinneyduh.substack.com/subscribe

I was sitting in a leadership meeting with a client's managers, going through the numbers. Labor costs were climbing. Revenue wasn't keeping up. So I asked the obvious question — what's happening here? Why are we bringing people on when the revenue isn't there to match it?   One of the managers looked at me and said, "We just come in, we get a list of goals — or a list of new ideas — and we figure out how to make it happen. That's all we do."   You could see it. The empowerment draining right out of the room.   These aren't bad managers. They're talented people trying to pick up pieces of rice — absorbing every new idea, dropping the thing they were building to chase the next one. And every founder I know does this for the same reason: they're passionate about growth. Nobody moves the goalpost maliciously. They do it because they love moving something forward.   But here's the hidden tax. Every time you shift the gears — add the new initiative, change your mind, change it back — you add cost, you add confusion, and you erode trust both ways. The rising labor was the price of chasing ideas that never aligned with the goals you set in January.   When you sit in the middle of every decision, what it actually tells your team is: I don't trust you to make the call. And what your team hears is: I don't know what the vision is anymore, because it keeps changing.   So we put it all on the table. Calendars, to-do lists, six months of initiatives. Three columns: non-negotiable, aligned, non-essential. Then we trimmed. It's no different than a rose bush — prune the dead branches and the thing starts growing again.   Because if people aren't clear on what you're trying to accomplish, they can't stand behind it. Not every opportunity is yours to chase. Just because every other business is doing it doesn't mean you need to.   So ask yourself honestly: is your team running your business — or are you running interference for your own ideas? Keep the goalposts in the ground. Let them kick the field goal.   Key Takeaways: • Growth isn't more. More inventory, more products, more menu items, more initiatives — that's the reflex, not the strategy. Look at what's actually working first. • Empowerment is not delegation. Handing your team a list of tasks while you sit in the middle of every decision isn't trust — it's a bottleneck. • Moving the goalpost adds an invisible tax. Those rising labor costs were the price of chasing initiatives that never aligned with the original goals. • Trust erodes both ways. The owner stops trusting the team to move things forward; the team stops believing in a vision that changes every two days. • People can't stand behind a vision they can't see. If your focus keeps shifting, your team can't keep the main thing the main thing. • Prune like a rose bush. Cut the dead branches — the non-essential, non-aligned ideas — and what's left finally starts to grow. • Not every opportunity is one you need to tackle. Evaluate it against your mission before you execute on it. • Get into a rhythm with your team. Meet regularly — what's working, what's not, where are we stuck — and adjust, instead of just piling on more.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00   Is your team running your business or are you running interference for your own ideas? 00:35   The goalposts keep moving — you add, you remove, you change your mind, then change it again 01:10   The team picking up pieces of rice — absorbing every shift, juggling it all 01:45   They don't just want to execute. They want to know their work matters 02:09   The client whose goalpost never stops moving 03:20   In the room for the financial meeting — labor up, revenue flat 04:00   The manager's line: "We just get a list and figure out how to make it happen" 04:26   What that statement says about trust between owners and their teams 05:10   Empowerment isn't delegation — and the owner sitting in the middle of everything 05:50   "I don't trust you to decide." "I don't know what your vision is." 06:37   The invisible tax — why those labor costs were really rising 07:20   Trust erodes both ways: the owner's frustration, the team's deflation 08:10   Given a leader's title — and just checking boxes and completing tasks 08:57   When things get hard, the easy move is to add something new 09:40   "Let me see your calendars, your to-do list, your initiative list" 10:55   Pruning the rose bush: cut the dead branches and it grows again 11:26   Initiatives that don't fit the brand — chickens with their heads cut off 12:10   Momentum drained: gaining energy, then forced to stop and shift gears 12:50   Not every opportunity is yours to chase 13:30   Want to rebuild trust? Stop moving the goalpost and empower your team 14:20   Keep the goalposts in the ground so your team can kick the field goal   If this one felt like I was sitting across the table talking straight at you — hit subscribe, share it with the founder in your life who keeps moving the goalposts, and leave a review so more Main Street owners can find it.   And if you're sitting there thinking, "My gosh, Theresa, you're speaking to me" — drop me a DM. We'll hop on a call, talk through how many goalposts you've moved, and build a plan to keep them in the ground so your team can finally get those projects across the finish line.   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

It's the time of the year for feijoa pruning. When the last feijoa has fallen off, you can have a real go at it No difficult techniques needed (as with apples and pears and grapes - thinking a year or more ahead!): Feijoas fruit on new wood that grows in spring. So even if you literally whack them with a hedge trimmer (I do that!), next spring's new growth will give you fruit. But what about a tree that's getting a bit too high? Easy: you can really cut them back quite hard, because they'll grow again; but seeing you're going to do some surgery, you might as well do it real well: thin some of the branches inside the tree; That opens up the interior and gives the new growth a bit of space. It also gives the birds a bit of wriggle room to move Birds – like blackbirds and silvereyes – are the main pollinators of the feijoa flowers! Hence the colour red – birds can see red well). If you see a blackbird violently attacking the red flower stamens in late spring, don't panic! It's doing its job. For those of you that consider having a feijoa tree in the garden, here are two tips: 1) plant two trees next to each other (they require crosspollination) 2) Plant them now, while there is still some warmth in the soil – otherwise they'd sulk most of the winter. Sunny, well-drained soil - little bit of fertiliser each spring, topped by compost of good mulch, to keep roots moist during dry periods. For people on the sixteenth floor (remember, Jack?) may I suggest a reasonably large pot with quality Living Earth Tub mix and the variety Bambina, a small grafted plant with small feijoas that can be eaten skin-and-all. Just a bit of liquid fertiliser and regular watering – you'll love it! Feijoas have very few pests and diseases I thought we were lucky – so far – in Canterbury: no guava moth? Guess what: a week or so ago, Julie found at least three larvae (caterpillars) in our fruit, resting in trugs on the kitchen floor. Guava moth is a real bugger from Oz, no products registered for control as yet. A regular dose of Success on developing fruit might stop caterpillars getting in.

Let me ask you something, Thrivesters.  When was the last time you took a hard look at your life and asked:"What's no longer serving me?"Not what's annoying. Not what's inconvenient.WHAT IS ACTUALLY DEAD WEIGHT?Because here's the epiphany I had this morning…You can't grow new blooms while you're pouring energy into dead wood.In this episode of The Thrive Hive Podcast, we're taking another lesson from my hydrangeas and applying it to something much bigger: your life.As I was pruning my hydrangeas today, I found myself thinking about how often we hold onto things that have long stopped serving us - relationships, commitments, habits, routines, beliefs, even versions of ourselves we've already outgrown.And just like the beautiful hydrangeas, when we leave the dead wood in place, that dead wood consumes energy that could be fueling something beautiful.Here's what we're diving into:The Hydrangea Principle - why thriving requires regular pruning, not just planting.Recognizing Your Dead Wood  -  how to identify the people, habits, obligations, and thought patterns that are quietly draining your energy.Why Letting Go Feels So Hard - the guilt, fear, and identity shifts that often keep us holding on longer than we should.Making Space for Growth -  because every time you remove something that no longer belongs, you create room for joy, possibility, and what's next.The Power of Seasonal Check-Ins  -  why thriving isn't a one-time event. It's an ongoing practice of noticing, adjusting, and realigning.Thriving isn't about adding more, Thrivesters. Sometimes it's about removing what's standing in the way.Your bold, quick action step:Make a list of three things currently draining your energy. Then ask yourself: "What would happen if I stopped feeding this?" Links & Resources:Thrive Hive Coaching: https://forms.gle/omjSjMK4UTafn8SQAFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDJoin the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠ https://the-thrive-hive-with-nancy-medoff.kit.com/597e99564dVisit my website: https://nancymedoff.com/

In this episode, I share a lesson that came to me while spending a full day working on the landscaping in front of our home. What began as a simple Saturday project of trimming bushes quickly became a powerful metaphor for life and business. Some of the shrubs in our landscaping had grown far beyond their intended place. They were healthy in one sense, but they had become invasive, disproportionate, and unmanaged. A light trim was not enough. Some of them had to be cut all the way back to the core. As I worked through that process, I realized that the same thing has been happening in areas of my life and business. Through my daily audio journaling practice, I have been paying closer attention to where my time, energy, focus, and commitments are actually going. That practice has revealed places where good things have grown beyond their proper boundaries. Some activities are valuable, but they have started to encroach on the space intended for something else. In this episode, I talk about how this has shown up in my business calendar, my invitation engine, my CRM, podcast production, commitments, spending, tools, and even identity. I also share how I am learning to distinguish between what needs a light trim, what needs radical pruning, and what may need to be removed altogether. The central idea is this: Unmanaged growth is not the same as healthy growth. Sometimes the next level does not begin by adding something new. Sometimes it begins by cutting back what has overgrown. In This Episode, I Talk About Why I decided to work on my own landscaping for the first time in twelve years. How overgrown holly and Japanese barberry bushes became a metaphor for life and business. The difference between healthy growth and unmanaged growth. Why some things need more than a light trim. How daily audio journaling has helped me identify blind spots and patterns. What I have noticed about my calendar, commitments, and business model. How CRM optimization began encroaching on my invitation engine. Why not every good idea belongs in the moment when it appears. The importance of pruning distractions even when they are valuable. Why pruning often looks ugly before it looks healthy. How I am evaluating my weekly commitments to The Cliff Ravenscraft Show and Podcast Answer Man. The question we all need to ask: “What has grown beyond its intended place?” Key Takeaway Not everything that grows is healthy simply because it is growing. Some things in life and business start out useful, beautiful, or productive, but if they are left unmanaged, they can eventually take over more space than they were ever meant to occupy. The work of pruning is the work of intentional leadership. Reflection Questions What has grown beyond its intended place in your life or business? What are you maintaining simply because it has always been there? What needs a light trim? What needs to be cut back to the core? What may need to be pulled out completely? Where have you confused activity with alignment? Where might things need to look bare for a season so they can become healthier later? Reach Out If this episode resonates with you and you would like help getting clarity on where to prune, where to simplify, and where to focus next, feel free to reach out. Email: cliff@cliffravenscraft.com Until next time, I encourage you to take everything you do in your life to the next level.

Pastor Jim explores the birth of Isaac as a testament to God's perfect faithfulness, timing, and grace. He emphasizes that despite the human impatience and sinful "Plan B" strategies of Abraham and Sarah, God remained committed to his original promise. He highlights the painful, yet loving pruning required when human mistakes create messy consequences, specifically regarding the casting out of Hagar and Ishmael. Ultimately, he illustrates how these Old Testament events serve as a theological foundation for the New Testament, pointing toward the miraculous arrival of Jesus. Pastor Jim concludes that believers are saved not by their own merit or performance, but through unmerited grace and faith in God's promises.Support the showThanks for listening!

What does 30+ years of cross-cultural ministry actually look like from the inside? In this solo episode, recorded on her 59th birthday, Cynthia Anderson gets honest — about the surprises, the valleys she never would have chosen, and the convictions that have only deepened over three decades of disciple-making work across Nepal, India, Thailand, and Africa. This isn't a highlight reel. It's a real look at what sustained obedience costs, what it produces, and why the pattern of valleys leading to breakthrough doesn't stop. In this episode: Why God's love is not contingent on your fruit — and why that's still disorienting after all this time What Cynthia would do differently (margins, meetings, and what she wishes she'd said no to) The valley-to-breakthrough pattern traced across 30 years of field work A 1 Corinthians 13 rewrite that reframes what success in ministry actually looks like Why Caleb at 85 is still her model for what's next

This is the 7th and final part of the Pruning Season Series. This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. “If you do not prune on purpose, you will be pruned by force.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Everyone is asking what they should add to grow their business this year. A new offer. A new funnel. A new hire. A new strategy. But the CEOs who actually scale don't ask what to add. They ask what to remove. Because growth doesn't come from doing more. It comes from carrying less. And if you're still measuring your next level by what you can build instead of what you're willing to release, you are setting yourself up for a forced pruning season that will cost you more than it ever should. This episode is the line in the sand. Because from this point forward, you don't wait to be pruned. You lead it. If you are a six- or seven-figure CEO who has been carrying more than your next level requires, this episode will show you exactly how to stop. In the final episode of the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle delivers a powerful CEO protocol to help you audit your business, your leadership, and your identity so you can scale with alignment instead of exhaustion. We explore strategic pruning, business audits, leadership discipline, CEO identity evolution, team alignment, client alignment, and how to protect your capacity so your revenue, peace, and purpose can grow together. Here's the truth: most CEOs don't grow because they don't know what to do. They don't grow because they refuse to let go of what no longer fits. And what you refuse to release will eventually be removed for you. You'll walk away with a complete pruning protocol you can implement immediately, including five critical audits that will help you identify what stays, what goes, and what needs to transition so you can move into your next level with clarity, capacity, and confidence.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to audit your offers, clients, and team to identify what is draining your growth ✔ How to build a pruning rhythm into your leadership so you avoid forced breakdowns ✔ How to align your identity with your next level so your business can actually sustain it ✔And so much more This episode is a call to stop leading reactively and start leading with intentional discipline. To become the CEO who evaluates before the breakdown, releases before the burnout, and aligns before the revenue forces the issue. This is your invitation to take back control of your leadership by building pruning into your rhythm. Not when it hurts. Not when things fall apart. But because you have decided that your next level deserves space before it arrives.

Listen to Pastor Keith Benson speak about all the Lord has done at True Light Church, located in Southold, NY on the North Fork of Long Island. He teaches biblical principles, using scripture in a personal way.

In this week's sermon extra, Pastors Nick and Michael discuss The Gospel of John 15:2 and whether the things removed from our lives are always the work of the Lord, the result of living in a fallen world, or sometimes both. They also explore the idea of “liberating constraints” — how God can use limits, loss, and pruning to shape us into healthier and more fruitful people.

This is the 6th part of the Pruning Season Series This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. “Pruning was never the point. The fruit is.”  — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Everyone talks about what you lose in a pruning season. The clients. The revenue. The identity. The certainty. But almost no one prepares you for what happens next. Because the truth is, the most important part of pruning is not what you release. It's what starts growing that you cannot see yet. And if you've been questioning whether the cut was worth it, if you've been sitting in the silence wondering if you made a mistake, this episode is going to shift everything for you. Because you're not behind. You're not off track. You're in the exact moment where what you've been praying for is finally taking root. If you are a six- or seven-figure CEO coming out of a season of release, recalibration, or reinvention and you are wondering if it was worth it, this episode will give you your answer. In part six of the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle reveals what actually grows after the cut and why the gap between release and renewal is where everything begins. We explore business reinvention, CEO identity evolution, aligned revenue, leadership capacity, nervous system regulation, and how to recognize the fruit that is already forming in your life and business. Here's the truth: the fruit does not show up immediately after the cut. There is always a gap. And in that gap, nothing looks like it's working, but everything is moving. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of the five types of fruit that grow after pruning, how to recognize them in real time, and how to protect what is emerging so you don't sabotage your next level before it fully forms.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize the signs that your pruning season is producing results ✔ How to identify aligned opportunities, clients, and revenue after release ✔ How to protect new growth without rushing or forcing it ✔And so much more This episode is a call to shift your focus from what you lost to what is growing. It challenges you to stop measuring your progress by what's visible and start trusting what is being built beneath the surface.. This is your invitation to stop second-guessing the decisions you made in your pruning season and start recognizing the evidence that something new is already taking shape. To trust the process even when it doesn't look like progress yet.

In this Scripture meditation on John 15:1–5 and 9–17, you’re invited to slow down and reflect on what it truly means to live a fruitful life. We often measure fruitfulness by productivity—what we accomplish, how much we produce, or how many people we reach. But in this passage, Jesus gently redefines fruitfulness. He invites us not to strive, but to abide. Not to measure, but to remain. Through the practice of Lectio Divina, this meditation creates space to listen for God’s voice and consider where He may be inviting you to let go, trust Him more deeply, and receive His definition of a fruitful life. This meditation is especially personal for me. As I’ve spent time with this passage, God has been reshaping my understanding of fruitfulness—leading me into a season of letting go and choosing to abide in Him above all else. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough… or if your life is truly bearing fruit… this meditation is an invitation to release those questions and return to the simple, steady call of Jesus: Remain in me.

Please Note: This is the first episode in the Pruning Season Series. “You don't have a strategy problem… you have a letting go problem.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. After having served thousands of entrepreneurs and small business owners who desire to grow, leverage and scale their businesses, I have learned that pruning is a big part of the journey of scaling. But here's the part no one tells you… growth is not being blocked because something is broken. Growth is being blocked because something is still working that you were never meant to take forward. And if you're honest, you already know what it is. The offer. The identity. The version of you that built this level. This episode is going to confront the lie that more strategy is the answer, and reveal the truth that your next level is waiting on your willingness to release what you've outgrown. If your business feels stalled, heavy, or misaligned… this is not the episode you casually listen to. This is the one that reads you. If your business feels stalled, heavy, or like it's taking longer than it should to reach your next level, this conversation will disrupt everything you think you know about growth. In this raw and real kickoff to the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle breaks down the truth about why high-performing entrepreneurs hit invisible ceilings, not because strategy isn't working, but because they're holding onto offers, identities, and business models they've already outgrown. This episode explores business growth stalls, CEO identity evolution, scaling challenges, nervous system resistance, letting go in business, and why pruning is the prerequisite for sustainable 7-figure and multi-7-figure expansion. Here's the truth: you are not stalled because nothing is happening… you are stalled because you are holding onto something God is trying to end. And no amount of strategy can override resistance to release. You'll walk away with clarity around what pruning actually looks like in real time, the five stages every CEO experiences in a pruning season, and how to recognize whether you are resisting, delaying, or actively stepping into your next level. You'll also understand why what feels like confusion is actually divine recalibration.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ how to identify when your business stall is caused by resistance instead of strategy ✔ how to recognize the difference between growth and misalignment ✔ how to release what is no longer serving your next level without fear ✔And so much more This episode is a call to unequivocally radical honesty. To stop pretending your next level requires more effort and finally admit that it requires more surrender. It is a call to release the version of you that got you here so you can become the version required for where you're going.. This is your invitation to to pause long enough to see what you've been avoiding. To name what you already know needs to go. To stop negotiating with your next level and start trusting that what you're being asked to release is not loss… it's preparation Resources Mentioned: Take the Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz Join the Waitlist for Sanctuary Apply for a Soul + Strategy Conversation Move to Millions: The Proven Framework To Become a Million Dollar CEO With Grace & Ease Instead of Hustle & Grind by Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon – Get Your Copy Join the Move to Millions Facebook Group for ongoing support and community engagement – Join Now Move to Millions 90-Day Business Growth Planner – Get Your Planner Powerful Quotes from the Episode: “You are not stalled because God is not moving… you are stalled because you are holding on.”  "Every door you refuse to close is keeping you in the hallway.” “You are not tired because you are doing too much. You are tired because you are doing too much of what you should have already released.” “Expansion does not happen through accumulation. Expansion happens through capacity.” “Pruning is a blessing even when it feels like punishment.” “You are tired because you are carrying what you were never meant to take forward.” “Pruning seasons do not last long… we make them last by resisting.”   Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: What am I currently holding onto that I already know I've outgrown? Where in my business am I trying to fix something that is meant to end? Am I adding more strategy instead of creating space? What identity am I afraid to release because it validates my success? What would happen if I trusted that this season is preparation, not punishment? Want more of Darnyelle?
