When life feels uncertain or overwhelming, where do you run? This week, Dot and Cara explore the names of God and what they reveal about His character. He is our Shepherd, our Righteousness, our Protector, and our ever-present Emmanuel. This conversation moves beyond simply knowing God’s names to truly believing in them and the refuge they offer us. If you’ve ever struggled to trust who God says He is, this episode will encourage you to call on His name!
