Children of the Covenant: Choosing Christ Everyday (Ep. 79)

Join Jenny and Lee continue their season-long conversation about choosing Christ by focusing on covenants—not as checklists or pressure, but as a living relationship with the Savior.

They explore how covenants create safety, strength, and space to practice discipleship in real life, especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or imperfect.

This conversation reframes covenants as a gift that supports agency, growth, and belonging, rather than a standard we have to perform our way into.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of commitment or unsure how covenants fit into your everyday life, this episode offers a gentler, more grounded way to understand what it means to choose Christ through covenant relationship—one ordinary day at a time.
