In this episode of The Unfolding You Podcast, Erin Smylie Walsh explores the themes of connection and growth through the lens of faith. She shares her personal journey of selecting a word for the year, 'connect', and reflects on the importance of remaining rooted in faith, especially during times of pruning and transition. Drawing from John 15, Erin emphasizes that pruning is not merely a form of discipline but a necessary process for producing more fruit in our lives. She encourages listeners to embrace the discomfort of self-reflection and to create space for growth by letting go of what no longer serves them.Takeaways- My word this year was connect.- Pruning can really just be a means for us to produce more fruit.- Cutting away branches creates space for us to grow.- Pruning is often just those circumstances of moments where the Lord goes, I'm nurturing you now.- Think of the space you need to create for more growth.- The Lord has put dreams on our hearts.- We often think about the ending of seasons as failure.- He wants to be with us in that mess.- Pruning can happen through discipline.- What a joy and a blessing is that for us as his flock.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Self-Discovery and Faith00:42 The Power of a Word for the Year01:58 Understanding Connection Through Scripture03:43 The Concept of Pruning in Our Lives09:01 Creating Space for Growthself-discovery, faith, connection, pruning, growth, intentionality, scripture, John 15, encouragement, personal development
