Seeing God’s Faithfulness: How to Trace HIs Covenant Love in Our Lives

We say “God is faithful,” but do we really see His faithfulness in our own lives?
In this episode, Angela and guest Jennifer Tirrell linger in Deuteronomy 7:9 to remember who God is—the faithful God who keeps His covenant of love—and talk about how, as we obey and look back, we begin to trace His steady love across our days.

Description
In this interview episode of the Life as Worship podcast, Angela Mackey sits down with author and speaker Jennifer Tirrell to reflect on Deuteronomy 7:9 and the God who keeps His covenant of love to a thousand generations.  Together, they explore the context of Deuteronomy, where Moses calls a new generation to remember the works of God and live faithfully as His people, and they consider what that means for believers today.  This conversation is a rich reminder that God’s faithfulness is not only something to affirm intellectually, but something believers learn to recognize as they look back and ask where He has been working.  Angela and Jennifer also talk about how daily obedience—rooted in gratitude, Scripture, prayer, and remembrance—is not burdensome, but part of the way God leads His people into flourishing.
