In the first episode Season 3, Carrie Hurley welcomes listeners to 2025, sharing an uplifting message from Philippians 3:13-14 about embracing new beginnings and focusing on future aspirations.
The episode outlines significant changes to the podcast format, including a reduction in weekly episodes to feature a dedicated prayer episode on Wednesdays and an interview episode on Fridays, with a possible third episode on Mondays still undecided.
Carrie introduces a new community subscription, priced at $7 per month (but FREE for six months is you join before January 15!), offering micro podcasts, weekly scripture encouragement, and monthly prayer sessions, while also highlighting that 'The Verse Thing' subscribers can access the community for free. Closing with an invitation to join this community for spiritual growth, she underscores the importance of connection among listeners.
