Black Girl Bible - Janai Imani

Season 4 Episode 09

Topic: Peace Beyond All Understanding

Gideon met God in a cave, terrified and unsure of himself. Yet out of that encounter came the name Jehovah Shalom—“the Lord is Peace.” In this episode, we explore how God meets us in fear, insecurity, and chaos, and speaks peace into places that feel out of control. We’ll talk about the difference between fleeting peace and the lasting, grounding peace that only God gives. This episode is for anyone longing for calm in the middle of emotional or spiritual storms.

Season 4, Episode 01 | Known By His Name

We begin Season 4 where Scripture begins. With Elohim, the Creator.

In this foundational episode of Known By His Name, we explore how God reveals His nature and character through His names, starting with the first name used for God in the Bible. As we study the creation narrative, we reflect on what it means to be formed with intention, purpose, and divine design, and how understanding God as Creator shapes the way we see Him, ourselves, and our faith.

This episode also invites us to consider how every part of our story, every joy, every trial, every season, becomes an opportunity to encounter a deeper aspect of who God is. As the opening episode of the season, this conversation sets the tone for a journey of knowing God more deeply by understanding why His names matter and how they transform the way we pray, trust, and walk with Him.

Scriptures referenced:

Genesis 1–2, Psalm 19:1–4, Isaiah 40, Jeremiah 32:17, John 1:1–4
