#15 - Purpose in the Pain

This week at Hopewell, we celebrated an incredible move of God—12 people baptized in one Sunday! Pastor Matt reflects on how these moments are never routine, but powerful reminders of God’s hand at work in every story.

In this episode, we dive into John 15 and what it means to remain connected to the vine. Pastor Matt shares how seasons of pruning—though often painful—are actually God’s preparation for greater fruit. From personal struggles in ministry to the challenges of waiting on God, this conversation explores how pain has purpose, how pruning brings growth, and how abiding in Christ leads to true transformation.

We also talk about the next generation, the powerful role of parents in discipleship, and how God is shaping Hopewell’s future through the faith of young people.

Whether you’re in a pruning season or seeking encouragement to stay connected, this conversation will point you back to the One who gives life.
