If you are a woman who can't find a godly, Christian mentor locally, you're invited to pull up a chair to this virtual table of women seeking deep discipleship. In each episode, you will listen to and respond to solid, biblically based teachings from Mentor Joy Abad on spiritual and emotional health, with an uncomfortable focus on surrender. This community doesn't just listen to the Word of God; we obey (practice) what it says.

In this episode, we begin to dig in to all of our favorite word . . . the s-word—surrender.

Surrender is a whole-body; whole-life action verb that too often gets glossed over with sweeping generalizations. In this episode we’ll begin to talk about some of the nuances to the word and why I’m choosing to focus on it for this season.

Conversation starters:

* Which subtitle resonated with you and why?

The Nitty Gritty Parts of Surrender—Invitations to develop callouses on your soul and muscle memory in your body to let go
God’s invitations to live from a posture of open hands, open heart, eyes fixed

* Do you believe that the ability to surrender requires building spiritual muscle memory, or do you believe it primarily is dependent on something else? Please explain.
