Students make commitments to God—but those commitments don’t always change how they live.

In this episode, we focus on Exodus 24 and Exodus 32–34 to help teachers address a critical gap: moving students from knowing what covenants are to actually living them day to day.

From the covenant moment at Mount Sinai to the breaking point of the golden calf, these chapters reveal a pattern students still experience—commitment followed by drift. When students can see that pattern clearly, they begin to recognize it in their own lives.

This episode helps you create that awareness and guide students toward something deeper: real covenant living.

You’ll learn how to create tension between what students promise and how they act, so doctrine becomes something they feel, not just understand. You’ll also see how to center the Savior in moments of failure, showing students that covenant relationships are not just about commitment—but about returning, receiving mercy, and staying connected to Him.

This episode will help your students move from making covenants… to living them.
