Surrender Part 1

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.

Broken Cisterns Part 1

Kelly, Ashley, & Kristen meet up again to discuss what God means by “broken cisterns” and why heeding His warning is so important to having an unshaken faith. Idolatry = adultery against God, but was it only the Israelites who committed this grievous sin? No, unfortunately we can get caught up in worshipping non-gods in our modern times as well.
