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.
