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

106: Faithlines—Joseph’s Mantle 5
Like all mantles, Joseph’s mantle is an inheritance that ultimately comes from the great Giver of all gifts, the Lord Himself. And unless it returns to His hands for repair and mending, it becomes increasingly tattered and defiled. As we’ve seen, it passed through the...
105: Faithlines—Joseph’s Mantle 4
Back two episodes ago, we learned how the spirit that influenced Joseph to dispossess the Egyptians—the Canaanite war-goddess Anat—was trounced by Deborah and Barak. Together they opposed the Canaanite king Jabin and his general Sisera and, through a manoeuvre worthy...
104: Faithlines—Reuben’s Mantle
I’m just going to press the pause button on the series about Joseph’s mantle to look briefly at Reuben’s. John’s gospel has the mirror-like symmetry of an epic Hebrew poem. In addition, one of its major themes involves the passing of mantles to various disciples:...
103: Faithlines—Joseph’s Mantle 3
In many respects, dispossession of inheritance didn’t start with Joseph. His father Jacob dispossessed Joseph’s uncle Esau of his birthright and the blessing of the firstborn. Joseph’s great-grandparents Abraham and Sarah started the generational pattern by...
102: Faithlines—Joseph’s Mantle 2
Joseph always had dreams of having power over others. He dreamed of his sheaf of grain standing upright in the field while the sheaves of his brothers came to bow down to it. And then, to make matters worse, he dreamed that eleven stars, as well as the sun and the...
101: Faithlines—Joseph’s Mantle 1
No one is good—except God alone. It’s worth reminding ourselves of these words of Jesus on a regular basis. We tend to live in a kind of bipolar mindset when it comes to this statement. On the one hand we have no trouble affirming Paul’s similar sentiment in Romans...
