In the final episode of the season, Erin and Simon chat with Sydney MacNaughton! Hear Sydney explain how her faith plays out in her career as a pediatric speech-language pathologist, why she regularly practices silence and solitude, and how consistently moving as the child of house-flipping parents prepared her to never stay in one place for too long.

Erin chats with Melissa Dermody. From a one-traffic-light small town in Illinois, Melissa shares what brought her to Seattle, her experience as a special education teacher, and her advice on which TV shows you should make sure to bring tissues for.

Born and raised in Seattle, Heather Christiansen has known Jesus for nearly her entire life. She was a founding member of Cross & Crown with her husband, Adam -- the church's Pastor of Ministries. Heather shares how Jesus supported her through the challenge of facing demonic activity, her current foodie-favorite meal, and how she agreed to marry Adam on the condition that he would not end up becoming a pastor... whoops.

Meet Emerson Fulton -- one wife, two kids, and Director of Operations at Cross & Crown Church. Simon and Erin sit down with Emerson as he shares his story of truly realizing his sin for the first time in college, working a job that felt like he was a guest star on a season of 'Suits,' and eventually feeling called to work in ministry.

Simon and Erin chat with Kyle Igarashi. Kyle shares his take on what his "boring testimony" really means, the unique experience of growing up as a pastor's kid, and his enthusiasm for Tim Keller podcasts.
