In this episode Kerry and Melinda Brown discuss what happens to Alma's community as they make a covenant with Christ. They show an inclusio in Mosiah 18 that helps us better understand the chapter. They look at what we covenant at baptism and explore what that really means, and how it happens for us today. They also discuss the importance of sacred places. They tie all of this into what it means to be on the covenant path.
