Discover the Word Podcast

"What's in a name?" is a famous question Juliet asked in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. And while she wasn't asking the question about the Bible, when you read the Bible, you find that names mean a lot. Great meaning is attached to both people and places. And so it should be no surprise that when it comes to God, the central figure in the Scriptures, His name—or actually His names—matters a lot. So much so, in fact, that one name can't fully represent God's power and majesty. Join the group this week as they discover how knowing the names of God in the Bible can help us appreciate more of who God is. What's in a name? Apparently a lot. WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:📱On our website: https://www.discovertheword.org🎧Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3x2Swlq🎧Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3mk8ra1🎧Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/3D9Tttv🎧YouTube Music:  https://go.odb.org/yt-music-playlistLOOKING FOR MORE EPISODES of the Discover the Word Podcast?

When you read the Gospels, the Pharisees play a prominent role. So, when you hear the word "Pharisee," what do you think of? The dictionary defines a Pharisee as "a self-righteous person; a hypocrite." But were all Pharisees self-righteous hypocrites? Did all Pharisees reject Jesus?

The Bible uses many metaphors to teach us about God, and one of the most common of those metaphors is "shepherd." But of course, metaphors only work when you're familiar with the cultural details. Dr. Tim Laniak joins the group to take them on a fascinating journey into the world of shepherds and Biblical passages about them.
