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.
