Join Bishop Shannon Duckworth, Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, for a five-part podcast series exploring how the promises of our Baptismal Covenant can guide us through this moment in our national life. In each episode, she is joined by a trusted guest to reflect on one of the Covenant’s questions and explore meaningful, practical ways to refill our spiritual cups, speak the truth in love, pursue justice, and stay rooted in our Christian calling, especially in challenging times.
At the heart of these conversations are the foundational words of the Baptismal Covenant: to seek and serve Christ in all persons, love your neighbor as yourself, strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.
