Episode 3: Formed Through Surrender — When Becoming Requires Letting Go

What are you holding that God may be asking you to hold differently?

In this episode of The Formation Room, Rev. Dr. Le’Tasha Morrison explores surrender as a practice of trust—not passivity, giving up, or pretending we don’t care. Sometimes becoming requires releasing our grip on control, expectations, timelines, outcomes, and even old versions of ourselves.

Through Scripture, reflection, and the Open Hands formation practice, we consider what it means to trust God with what happens when we loosen our grip.

Surrender isn’t giving up. It’s giving over.

Keep becoming.

What has your attention and who are you becoming because of it?

In Episode 2 of The Formation Room, Rev. Dr. Le'Tasha Morrison explores how the things that constantly capture our attention can participate in shaping our thoughts, desires, emotions, and ultimately, our formation.

From our phones and responsibilities to worry, relationships, and even the conversations we continue replaying in our minds, there's always something competing for our attention. But not everything deserves equal access to it.

In this episode, we explore attention as a spiritual practice, the connection between beholding and becoming, and what it means to intentionally redirect our attention toward the things that are forming us toward Christ.

You'll be invited to practice a simple Attention Audit and consider:

What has had the most of my attention lately?

What is it producing in me?

Does it deserve the amount of attention I'm giving it?

Because formation is always happening.

Pay attention to what has your attention.

And until we meet again...keep becoming.

What is the process of getting somewhere is forming you just as much as the destination?

In the first full episode of The Formation Room, Rev. Dr. Le'Tasha Morrison reflects on her journey toward running the 2027 Los Angeles Marathon and the unexpected lessons the miles are teaching her about spiritual formation.

From repetition and resistance to patience to unseen progress, marathon training is becoming more than physical preparation, it's becoming a classroom.

In this episode, we explore what happens when we stop focusing only on the finish line and begin paying attention to who we are becoming along the way.

Because the miles matter.

The repetition matters.

The resistance matters.

The process matters.
