#NECESSARY ENDINGS PODCAST HOW TO#
What does this process look like in your life? Join me, and my treasured co-host and friend, Kalie Kelch, on this episode of the More to Be Podcast where we dive into John 15 as well as Joshua 3 and 4 to explore what God's work looks like in our everyday lives and how to join Him in it by faith. Yes, this requires a mindset shift away from what the world values compared to what is required of us to steward our heart, mind, body, and soul needs in order to love the Lord, ourselves, and others well. Hey Guys, Hope the New Year is going well so far for you and all that you are doing I am really excited about the 'Necessary Endings' simulcast coming up and hope you are planning to join us. Simply put, it is time for necessary endings and new beginnings in order to embrace whole-hearted breakthrough and authentic life transformation that results in aligning with God's best. Yes, it is time for me to prune again, even though so much appears to be thriving, for the sake of the whole bush. I can't help but see how this bush has been an annoying yet welcomed reminder of the timeless lesson of pruning. Ironically, I am in a different house now with one pathetic-looking rose bush that the pup keeps trying to steal petals off of on the way out to the yard. The Lord said, “Lis, you can have lots of bushes with hardly any blooms or a few bushes with lots of blooms.” I tearfully obeyed and I am so glad because the blooms have been beautiful in the last decade. I was sitting in the middle of my rose garden, tending to a dozen bushes. Recently, the Lord reminded me of the pruning I went through 12 years ago when He led me to shut down my blog and ministry dreams right when they were taking off. It is a remarkable task that leads to growth, yet it is so hard to do. Whether it’s a job, relationship, habit, methodology, or strategy, shying away from necessary endings will leave you weighed down, structurally unsound, and a shell of what you could be. You are a limited resource.Ĭonsider what areas of your life (or business) need pruning. Though art and music were bearing good fruit, they weren’t the fullness of what I wanted to do with my life. Music was a strength and opened many doors for me.īut I realized in my thirties that I had to prune music from being first place in my life in order to grow further. When I discovered music, I put art on the back burner. I won some awards and thought about being a comic book artist. But you have to accept that you can’t do all of them equally well, especially if you’re creative or entrepreneurial.Įarlier in life, my concentration was in art. You may have overlapping ideas and abilities. Over-relying on a strength makes it a weakness.Ĭhances are you are producing more than you can carry. But we can also become so enamored with the good things that are happening that ending them seems sacrilegious. Isn’t this such a great picture of personal or organizational growth? We often sprout fruit before we’re fully able to carry it. We've all heard endings that are abrupt, anticlimactic, or awkward: Well. Pruning strips away the excess buds that weigh the plant down. Two other necessary parts of a podcast episode to script in advance are the.
The wireframes allow the plant to carry the weight of the fruit it is already bearing. It produces more than it can provide for. The plant doesn’t bear fruit once it’s fully mature actually the tomatoes grow as the plant grows. You produce more fruit than you can carry.Įver see those wireframes gardeners use to help plants stand up? I never understood this until I saw how much time gardeners spend propping up tomato plants.
It’s not always easy and it often hurts, but shying away from necessary endings is a silent killer. The life application here is that for you to fully grow, you’ve got to be okay with endings.
One of the main illustrations in the book has to do with pruning: the selective removal of buds, unhealthy branches, or deadwood to help a plant grow and reduce the risk of it becoming structurally unsound. I highly recommend it, and I re-read it every year. One of my favorite books (it’s in my top 3) is Necessary Endings by Henry Cloud. A wise person once said, “To say yes to one thing means you have to say no to other things.” But one thing I’ve come to realize is that endings are just as normal and necessary. Like many people, I get excited about new beginnings.
