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.

In this episode of Everyday Truths: Table Talks, Sherri and Tiff get real about what it looks like to follow God when the path isn’t flashy, the purpose feels unclear, and healing becomes part of the journey.

From stepping out of vocational ministry to starting something new without a blueprint, this conversation is full of honesty, laughter, and the quiet kind of courage that doesn’t always get applause.

🎧 You’ll hear:

What obedience looks like when it’s not impressive

How God often uses detours to do deep work

The unexpected importance of healing in your calling

Letting go of performance and pressure in ministry

Why small steps of faith still count

💡If you’ve ever felt stuck between a closed door and an unclear next step, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that faithfulness still matters, even when it’s quiet.

Table Talks Ep. 2 | The Unraveling, the Untangling, and the Unexpected Laughter

Well hey y’all—welcome back to the Everyday Truths Podcast! If you’ve ever felt like stepping away from a role meant stepping away from your purpose… this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, Tiffany and I continue the conversation about what happens after the big faith leap—when obedience feels messy, identity feels wobbly, and you start asking, “Did I just bench myself?”

This episode is raw, reflective, and packed with laughter (and a few shoutouts to miserable cows, cat-cow pose, and a flame-stickered cane 😅).

We’re talking about:

Letting go of titles, roles, and other people's expectations

Navigating calling when clarity disappears

My journey from vocational ministry into something I never expected

Sitting with grief (and learning to laugh again)

What small beginnings really look like in real life

If you're in a season of transition, trying to untangle your identity from your job, ministry, or past self—pull up a chair. We’re keeping it real and reminding each other that growth doesn’t always look like progress… and sometimes healing looks like hysterical pool laughter.
