What is that old definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. You know, in that short little sentence we find a good description of human history. "I can make this work on my own, without turning to God. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can." This second episode of Season 3 gives a look at Isaiah's take on humanity's stubbornness.

The finale of our second season! After our adventure through a wide range of interviews, it's time to bring it all together into a meaningful final picture. I'd say this is as political as I get, and as symbolic. Buckle your safety belts everyone (or better put, snap on your life jackets). *Story written and read by Wes Young.

East and Wes is back for Season 2! This premiere episode looks at the Church as a real and relevant player in current events.
