15. stop replaying the pain, do this instead!

If you’ve been in a season that feels heavy, confusing, or dark—this episode is for you. Today on the Pure Surrender Podcast, we continue our series on Light & Darkness and talk about what it really means to see God’s light in the middle of circumstances that don’t change.I’m your host, Brittany Hall, and I’m so glad you’re here.If you’re new, welcome! If you’re returning, thank you for joining me again.Last week in Part 1, we talked about gaining a new perspective in Christ, even when life feels overwhelming. In Part 2, we go even deeper as we study:✨ Isaiah 9:1–2 — “The people who walk in darkness will see a great light.”✨ John 1 — Jesus as the Light the darkness cannot extinguish✨ Genesis 1 — God separating light from darkness from the very beginningIn this episode, we talk honestly about what it’s like to walk through dark seasons, how the enemy tries to keep us replaying painful moments, and how God teaches us to turn the light back on in our hearts and minds. I also share two personal stories where God used literal, physical darkness to show me a spiritual truth—one about a power outage and one about a dimming bulb—and how He used both moments to speak directly to my situation.You’ll be encouraged to:• Fix your eyes on Jesus instead of the circumstance• Stop dwelling in the “land of deep darkness”• Allow God to change you, even if the situation stays the same• Recognize the light God has already placed before you• Separate yourself from what drains you and move toward what God is illuminatingBefore we dig into scripture, we open with prayer—asking God to reveal His light to you, comfort you, and walk with you through whatever you’re facing today.Whether your situation shifts tomorrow or remains the same, you do not have to stay in darkness. There is a great Light, and He is with you.🙏 If you missed Part 1, make sure to watch that episode too—it lays the foundation for this series.🙏 Join me next week for Part 3 as we continue exploring how God brings light into even the most difficult places.I love you guys.—Brittany ❤️00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:39 Opening Prayer01:28 Scripture Reading: Isaiah 903:09 Personal Story: Power Outage04:44 Reflection on Darkness and Light07:53 Scripture Reading: John 109:22 Scripture Reading: Genesis 110:04 Encouragement to Seek Light12:11 Final Prayer and Blessing12:51 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewSpotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/39Ope4PHKxHOueJhSZ7aTD Apple — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pure-surrender-podcast/id1836325555 Youtube — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyrk0VhLeDvclNjKzLGuoOxwHSk2xsRs Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/puresurrenderpodcast

08. family estrangement, rejection and abandonment (and what to do now)

Have you ever felt like God was stripping everything away—people, family, friendships, even opportunities you thought were meant for you? It can feel lonely and painful, but what if the pruning isn’t just about what He’s removing around you… it’s about what He’s doing inside of you?🌿 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.” – John 15 🌿In this message, we’ll walk through John 15 and discover the heart of a Father who lovingly prunes—not to harm you, but to draw you closer.

God is making room for new growth, lasting fruit, and a life that reflects His glory. 🍇✨If you’ve been feeling cut back or left empty, this video will remind you: you’re not being abandoned… you’re being cared for by the Gardener’s hands.📖 Scripture: John 15💌 Stay until the end for encouragement to keep abiding in Him when pruning feels heavy.00:00 Introduction to Pruning Seasons00:21 Welcome to Pure Surrender Podcast00:37 Personal Revelation and Conference Experience01:49 Scripture Reading: John 1503:11 Prayer for Guidance and Understanding03:51 Understanding Pruning in Life06:27 Surrendering Desires to God07:48 Types of Pruning Explained10:17 Encouragement to Abide in Christ11:58 Reflection and Final PrayerListen to the podcast onSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/39Ope4PHKxHOueJhSZ7aTD?si=YUsVQV9qQryMqdNJFeAVow&nd=1&dlsi=6e643f3584b64f6c Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pure-surrender-podcast/id1836325555Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyrk0VhLeDvclNjKzLGuoOxwHSk2xsRsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/puresurrenderpodcast

07. what I wish I knew before I became a christian

What it is, is a promise of presence—God’s unwavering presence in the middle of every struggle, heartbreak, and uncertainty.In this video, I want to share the truths I wish I had known before stepping into faith: that being a Christian isn’t a one-time decision, but a daily, intimate walk with God.

06. scripture and prayers for grieving the parent you wish you had.

Grief has a way of leaving us empty, misunderstood, and searching for answers. Maybe you’ve prayed for something with all your heart, like Hannah in 1 Samuel, and it feels like God hasn’t heard you. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of loss, or waiting for something that hasn’t come yet.In this episode, we walk through Hannah’s tears and prayers, and how God not only blessed her with a child but—more importantly—drew her closer to Himself. Her story reminds us that sometimes our situation doesn’t change right away, but God changes us. He meets us in the broken places, teaching us to “nurse” our relationship with Him first, and to let His presence be the comfort we’ve been aching for.We’ll also lean into the promise of Revelation 21:4: a day is coming when there will be no more tears, no more pain. But even now, God holds you. He holds your child. He holds the pieces of your story, and He’s inviting you back—into His arms, His comfort, His peace.✨ This is a message for the one who feels forgotten. For the one grieving in silence. For the one rededicating their heart and nursing their soul back to Him. You are not alone—God is with you.📖 Scriptures in this episode: • 1 Samuel (Hannah’s grief and God’s faithfulness) • Revelation 21:4 (no more tears, no more pain)🙏 May this message bring you closer to the God who loves you, hears you, and is holding you even now.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Message of Comfort00:39 Prayer for Comfort and Protection01:11 God's Promise of Help and Comfort02:18 Paul's Thorn and God's Grace03:41 The Story of Hannah's Anguish04:46 Hannah's Prayer and God's Answer07:06 Nurturing Our Relationship with God07:37 The Need for Spiritual Rebirth09:06 Craving Spiritual Milk12:33 Final Prayer and BlessingListen onSpotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/39Ope4PHKxHOueJhSZ7aTD Apple — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pure-surrender-podcast/id1836325555 Youtube — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyrk0VhLeDvclNjKzLGuoOxwHSk2xsRs Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/puresurrenderpodcast
