Christy and Kristen begin Season 3 with a discussion of several instances of humans "seeing" God in the Old Testament, how we can better clear out the distractions to gaze at God in our own lives, and thinking through why fire is often used in the Bible to signify the presence of God.

Kristen and Alyssa tackle the second half of the Surrender scripture writing plan, discussing how God makes our paths straight, how we need to kill our old nature in favor of trusting God, and how Jesus' surrender to the Father helps us imitate His example.

Ashley, Christy, and Kristen start off Season 2 by tracing the theme of Surrender through the stories of Ruth, Hannah, Ahab, Naaman, Manasseh, Nebuchadnezzar, & David. Some of these resisted surrender to God, but others willingly let God take control of their lives. In every situation, we learn that God is always pleased with our sacrifice of surrender to Him, no matter how long it takes.
