Are you bearing real fruit—or just looking the part?
In this episode, I unpack what Jesus meant in the Parable of the Sower, the danger of presumption vs. assumption, and why your heart reflects your true spiritual condition. From pruning seasons to misplaced confidence, we’re talking real transformation—not just behavior change.
Scripture focus: John 15:4-9 + Proverbs 27:19
Let’s check the soil of your heart… and grow.
What you'll hear in this episode:
- God’s pruning process: What it feels like + why it matters
- My personal journey: Losing friendships, financial stretching, obedience in the unknown
- The difference between presumption and assumption (feat. King Saul's downfall)
- Proverbs 27: How your heart reflects your fruit
- Spiritual disciplines vs. actual transformation
- A breakdown of the 4 soils in Jesus’ Parable of the Sower
- Why many look fruitful but are spiritually withering
- What it means to be rooted in Christ and remain in the Vine (John 15:4-9)
💬 Let’s walk this out together — one honest conversation at a time.
