Hi and welcome to Grace Drops!
You’ve found the home of podcasts and resources about threshold and name covenants. In the treasure trove of Scripture, these jewels have been pushed so far into the back shadows we’ve forgotten they even exist.
These short talks aim to uncover the importance of these covenants for everyday life and ordinary Christian experience. Most believers have discovered that, when they try to enter into the calling they sense God has placed over their lives, they are blocked by intense constriction, wasting and retaliation. Grace Drops explores why this happens.
Back in the late nineteenth century, just as the understanding of threshold covenant was disappearing, Henry Clay Trumbull recorded many contemporary cultural practices in The Threshold Covenant. It is available for download here.
While his book explains what this covenant is, it doesn’t tell us the spiritual ramifications of violating this covenant. However, Scripture is quite clear on this matter. Let mystery give way to revelation as you listen and read.
Grace and peace

111: Faithlines—Moses’ Mantle 3
Last session, we looked at how Nicodemus was involved in the repair of Moses’ mantle—how he participated in the mending of the rebellion of Moses against God in a matter involving a miraculous supply of water. Now there are three episodes featuring Nicodemus in John’s...
110: Faithlines—Moses’ Mantle 2
Last session, we delved into the need for repair to Moses’ mantle. Right on the threshold of entering the Promised Land, he’d ignored God’s instructions about drawing water from a rock and hit it instead of speaking to it. On the surface, it looks like a trivial act...
109: Faithlines—Moses’ Mantle 1
When I initially realised that the first and last chapters of John’s gospel are about the passing of Elijah’s mantle, I was surprised and delighted. When I later realised that the second and second-last chapters were about the passing of Joseph’s mantle, I was...
108: Prayer 14
Heavenly Father, The kings of the earth once took the royal mantles of the conquered and attached them to their own train. As they entered a temple, the display impressed their subjects, vaunted the king’s glory and honoured the deities who were the king’s patrons....
