Join Lee and Jenny as they explore the concept of re-conversion—much like the seasons of the year, this too is a continual process of deepening our commitment to the Lord and His gospel.

True conversion is not a single event but a lifelong journey of renewal, growth or change, and transformation.

They discuss the importance of intentionally replenishing our spiritual reserves, allowing the Lord to refine our hearts and deepen our discipleship.

As we seek Him daily, we are not only reminded of our initial conversion but are continually strengthened in faith, becoming new in Christ over and over again.
