Curiously Kaitlyn

Why Does God Have a Name? (And Why It Matters A LOT!)


Listen Later

Let's dive into the surprising story behind God revealing Himself as Yahweh. Why does the Bible sometimes say God, sometimes LORD, and why do we almost never see "Yahweh" printed in English translations? Kaitlyn and Mike explore how this ancient name points to God's character, His promise of presence, and why the "philosophical God" and the "personal God" are actually the same God. They also unpack how knowing God's name shapes the way we read Scripture, pray, and understand Jesus.

And with Advent coming soon, Kaitlyn and Mike invite you to send in your kids' Christmas and Advent questions at holypost.com/curiously. The weirder the better.
