Before we ask Who is God?, we have to answer a more foundational question: What is God? In this episode, we walk through four ways people-consciously or unconsciously-define "God":

1. That Which We Worship - what we value most

2. A Celestial Being - something more powerful than us

3. The Creator (Unmoved Mover) - the source of all things

4. The Greatest Conceivable Being - the perfect, ultimate reality

We explore each with vivid examples, cultural references, and Scripture, helping us see that everyone has a "god"-even if they don't call it that.

This is the groundwork for all theological clarity. If we don't know what we mean by "God," we'll misunderstand everything else that follows.
