Before new growth can take root, the soil of our lives has to be turned over. In this episode, Troy shares what it means to walk through a season of becoming—the in-between space where God shapes us, prunes us, and prepares us for what’s next.

Troy opens up about a personal moment of loss and faith, sharing how God used a simple classroom assignment on grief to remind him that the story wasn’t over. Together, we’ll explore how becoming isn’t about striving—it’s about surrendering. It’s trusting that even when life feels uncertain, God is still working beneath the surface.

In this episode:

• Learning to trust God’s timing in seasons of transition

• Why pruning is preparation, not punishment

• The hidden beauty of becoming before doing

Key Verses (KJV):

• John 15:1–2

• Isaiah 45:3

• Philippians 1:6

If you’re walking through a time of change, this episode will remind you that roots grow before fruit shows—and God is shaping something beautiful in you, even now.
