EP 16 - That They May Know

The plagues of Egypt are among the most familiar stories in the Bible—but what if we've been asking the wrong questions? Why ten plagues? Why the Nile? Why darkness? Why Pharaoh's son? In this opening episode, we step into the world of ancient Egypt and explore a civilization built upon Ma'at—the belief that the gods, Pharaoh, and creation itself worked together to maintain cosmic order. Discover why the Exodus is more than a story of liberation. It's a challenge to an entire worldview. Before the Nile turns to blood and darkness covers the land, we must first understand what God intended "that they may know."

EP 15- His Name Became Israel | Part 4: God Fights

In the final installment of His Name Became Israel, we arrive at one of the most mysterious and transformative moments in all of Genesis: Jacob wrestling through the night with the divine. But this story is far deeper than a strange encounter beside a river. Why does God come down into the dust to meet Jacob? Why does the text describe a struggle instead of a conquest? And what does the name Israel actually mean in Hebrew? In this episode, we explore the ancient Near Eastern backdrop behind cosmic mountains and divine encounters, the rich Hebrew wordplay woven into Genesis 32, and the profound significance of Jacob’s name change. Together, we trace how this moment becomes more than a personal transformation—it becomes prophetic, echoing through the entire story of Israel: a people who strive, wrestle, fail, return, and are ultimately preserved by the God who fights for them. This is a conversation about identity, covenant, humility, exile, restoration, and the God who enters the dust rather than remaining distant from it. If you’ve ever wrestled with God, with Scripture, or even with your own identity—this episode is for you.

EP 14 - Who Told Us This Was Confidence? The Disappearing Line (A Conversation with Fibi)

What changed—and when did it happen? Somewhere along the way, the line didn’t just blur… it disappeared. In this candid and thoughtful conversation, I sit down with my friend Fibi to talk about what we’re seeing everywhere—from the way we dress, to the way we speak, to the subtle (and not-so-subtle) pressure to present ourselves a certain way. What once felt suggestive or even inappropriate now feels… normal. Even expected. We talk about the slow shift toward a more sexualized culture, the quiet obsession with appearance that follows us into every space, and how this is shaping the way we view ourselves—and each other. From the dating world to everyday interactions, the impact runs deeper than we often admit. But this isn’t a conversation from a distance. We’re not standing outside pointing fingers. We’re in it too—learning, wrestling, and asking hard questions about what it means to live with clarity, dignity, and conviction in a culture that often celebrates the opposite. This episode is honest. It’s firm. And it’s rooted in love. Because maybe the real question isn’t just what changed… but who told us this was confidence?

EP 13 - His Name Became Israel (Part 3)

One brother is sent away.The other stays behind. But distance doesn’t always mean loss… and nearness doesn’t always mean blessing. As Jacob journeys into the unknown, an ancient name whispers again—El Shaddai—calling back to a covenant spoken long before him. Far from home, in unfamiliar places, the future quietly begins to take shape… not just in his steps, but in the children who will come from them. Two paths.Two choices.One unfolding promise. Both in the big moments and seemingly insignificant ones—God is working things out in ways no one would expect.

EP 12 - His Name Became Israel (Part 2)

A mother becomes a mastermind. A blessing sparks betrayal. Deception runs deep in the house of Isaac. In Part 2 of His Name Became Israel, we witness Jacob’s mother turn strategist, the blessing that sparks tension, and the man who becomes Israel navigating obedience, fear, and destiny. Secrets, schemes, and divine promises collide, revealing that no mess is too outrageous for Him who knows all things.
