As we step into a new year, what does it mean to truly recommit our lives to God? In this episode, Brian Myers and Derrick Scott III welcome Warren Pattison to explore the rich Wesleyan tradition of covenant renewal. Together, they unpack Wesley's powerful covenant prayer, discuss how to prepare our hearts for genuine surrender, and discover practical ways to renew our covenant with God—not just on New Year's Day, but on any ordinary Tuesday. This conversation offers wisdom for living with open hands, avoiding spiritual burnout, and remembering that we belong to a God whose faithfulness never fails. Show Notes 02:54 - What is covenant?
