What we name things shapes what we experience from them. In this message, Pastor David explores the biblical weight of naming — not just what we call our children, but the meaning we assign to our trials, our identity, our circumstances, and even God Himself. He shares how years of insecurity trained him to sort every experience into a "bad bucket," and what shifted when the Lord began redefining his name — beloved, Christ-bearer, king — as a journey He was inviting David into. He walks through the story of Naomi trying to rename herself Mara while God quietly refused to agree with it, and gets vulnerably into what it looked like to declare life over his son Titus in the NICU instead of partnering with the fear that was screaming for attention. James says to count it all joy when you face trials — not find the silver lining, but name the whole thing joy. That's not denial. It's faith that says every tear is a seed, and the God who sees you now is already preparing the harvest. If you've been assigning the wrong name to what you're walking through — or to yourself — this message is an invitation to let Him rename it.
