About this listen

In this episode of Where Faith Lives, we’re talking about navigating friendships through seasons of change, pruning, and being set apart.


Friendships don’t always end because something went wrong. Sometimes they shift because God is doing something new.


This conversation is for anyone who has felt the quiet tension of outgrowing relationships, questioned alignment, or wondered why their circle feels smaller in this season.


We explore:

  • ​The reality that seasons change — including friendships
  • ​Why pruning is preparation, not punishment
  • ​Misalignment versus rejection
  • ​Discernment in friendships at different levels of faith
  • ​The importance of influence and proximity
  • ​Being set apart without pride or bitterness
  • ​Trusting God in seasons that feel quiet, unfamiliar, or lonely.


This episode is rooted in grace, truth, and obedience — not judgment.

If you’re in a season where your relationships feel different, this conversation is meant to remind you that you’re not doing something wrong. God may simply be refining, realigning, and preparing you for what’s next.


Some conversations are recorded in quiet moments.

Some are recorded with a traveling microphone, in real life and real seasons. Wherever faith is being lived — that’s where this conversation meets you.
