“COVENANT OR CONVENIENCE: When Love Was Real… But We Treated It Like It Was Replaceable”

About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of genuine love and the consequences of mishandling it through pride and neglect.

Everybody wants real love… but not everybody knows how to honor it. In this series inspired by Ezekiel 16, we’re unpacking what happens when love starts off genuine—but gets mishandled through pride, neglect, and broken trust. This isn’t just about relationships… It’s about accountability, healing, and asking the hard question: Did the relationship fail… or did we? *Covenant or Convenience — a journey through love, betrayal, and the truth we don’t always want to face.
