Send us Fan MailGUEST: PASTOR MATT MORRELL, Fourth Baptist Church in Plymouth, MNIt's been said that the most important thing about a person is what they think when they think about God.In other words, the more accurate our understanding of who God is—and the more willing we are to obey Him—the more we will think and live as God intends, for His glory and our good.Creation is God's general revelation to all people. Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been cle1arly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”Simply by looking at the world and the universe around us, every person everywhere knows that a magnificent, powerful, supernatural God exists. No one has an excuse for unbelief—He is clearly seen through creation. An atheist or agnostic is simply suppressing the truth because of a desire for unrighteousness.But general revelation through creation does not reveal the infinitely rich tapestry of God's nature and ways. It does not show us how sinners can be restored to a right relationship with Him. For that we need special revelation—the Word of God, which He supernaturally inspired men to write.Every page of the Bible reveals who God is: His stated will, His interaction with mankind, and His holiness and justice perfectly balanced with His compassion and mercy.One of the most instructive ways God reveals Himself in His Word is through His many names—about twenty or more. Some He established for Himself; others He inspired men to ascribe to Him. Names such as Yahweh, Elohim, and Adonai, along with compound forms like El Shaddai, Yahweh Shalom, and Yahweh Jireh, sharpen the believer's understanding of who God is and how He works.There is much going on in our country and in the world right now. But what could be more important than focusing on the One who created it all and who is in control of it all—the self-existent, eternal, triune Yahweh Elohim?Our guest today is Matt Morrell, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church and president of Central Seminary in Plymouth, Minnesota. He has been preaching a summer sermon series on the names of God and how Christians can anchor their faith and hope in Him.Matt also serves as pastoral advisor to the board of The Christian Worldview, providing personal and organizational accountability to a sound local church.---------------PROGRAM NOTES:THE NAMES OF GOD Sermon SeriesElohim Jehovah/Yahweh Adonai El Shaddai Jehovah Rapha Jehovah Shalom Jehovah Jireh Jehovah Shammah Jehovah Nissi

Welcome back to Wake Up Into Your Dream!This week, Barry returns to the Women Arising series with a very special guest and dear friend from Tanzania, El-Shaddai Matthias.We had the privilege of meeting El-Shaddai during our recent ministry trip to Tanzania, and we knew her story needed to be shared. She is a powerful example of a woman arising in this hour, one whose simple "yes" to God has opened doors she never could have imagined.Because this episode was recorded in a remote area of Tanzania, the video/audio quality isn't what we would have hoped due to limited internet service. We appreciate your grace as you listen, because we truly believe the message is worth it.Tune in now and be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to say "yes" to whatever God is asking of you.
The Logos Hope team share a service centred on the power, authority and honour of the name of Jesus. The team begin by introducing themselves and the work of OM's Logos Hope. Bauka, from Kazakhstan, explains that although the team come from different countries, the focus is not on flags or national identity, but on introducing people to Jesus. He also asks the church to pray for Kazakhstan, where evangelical Christians are a very small minority. Anne Marie then shares a short testimony using the illustration of fleas in a jar. When a lid is placed on the jar, the fleas learn to jump only so high; even when the lid is removed, they keep living as though they are still restricted. She connects this to Ephesians 4, encouraging people not to live trapped by past hurt, fear or limitation, but to walk freely in the calling God has given them through Christ. Gloria's main message focuses on God's name. She begins by asking people to think about the name of someone they love, showing that a name is not just a sound or label — it represents the person. In the same way, God's name reveals his character, authority and presence. She teaches from the third commandment, warning against taking God's name in vain. This does not only mean using God's name as a swear word; it means treating his name as empty, casual or powerless. Gloria challenges the church not to reduce God's name to everyday slang, but to recover reverence for the name of the Lord. She then explains that God revealed himself to Moses as "I am who I am", showing that God is self-existent, unchanging and unlike any human being. In the New Testament, this power and revelation are fully seen in Jesus Christ. Gloria points to passages such as Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:9–11, Romans 10:13 and Proverbs 18:10, showing that salvation, help, deliverance and refuge are found in the name of the Lord. Gloria walks through several names of God, including El Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rohi and others. Each name reveals something of God's character: provider, healer, peace, shepherd, righteousness, sanctifier, restorer and Lord of hosts. Her main challenge is that believers should honour the name of God, call on him with faith, and trust that the power in the name of Jesus is still active today. The sermon closes with declarations over the names of God and a call to live with renewed confidence, reverence and dependence on Jesus. 0:00 Logos Hope Team Introduction 0:27 Bauka from Kazakhstan 2:01 Praying for Kazakhstan 2:36 Anne Marie's Testimony 3:13 The Fleas in the Jar Illustration 4:12 Living Worthy of God's Calling 5:47 Gloria Begins: The Name of God 9:35 Why Names Matter 12:35 Do Not Take God's Name in Vain 17:25 The Name Above Every Name 20:38 Calling on the Name of the Lord 24:25 The Names of God 29:36 Declarations Over God's Names 36:57 Closing Challenge and Response
Amy Grant graces the show today! We discuss her upcoming concert in Glenside, PA this Saturday 8/1 (8pm), "The Me That Remains" (her first new album in 13 years), and Amy's perspective on the road she has traveled. We weave in a handful of songs to help chronicle that journey, from "Old Man's Rubble" (Amy's first-ever single) and "Sing Your Praise To The Lord" (her first #1 Christian single) to "Love Will Find A Way" (Amy's first mainstream single) and "Baby, Baby" (her first #1 mainstream single), plus the title track from Amy's new album. Part of the road Amy shared is also related to the album cover of "The Me That Remains" and includes a challenging battle the past six years regarding a church her great-grandfather purchased in downtown Nashville in 1925. The church focused on doing the work of Matthew 25 but is currently boarded up and in danger of being put on the open market. Amy and her family's hope is that a court ruling (scheduled for tomorrow--Friday July 31) will make it possible for the property to be transferred to another non-profit instead, which would allow the church to once again be used for charitable work. Your prayers for this would be much appreciated! You can find out more about Amy's concerts, music and more at www.amygrant.com :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Passage: Genesis 17:1-8. Series: Gather in the Name of God. Preacher: Colin Poyntz
Genesis 17 is not written for people who have it all together. It is written for people who have heard from God, made a mess in the waiting, and still need Him to speak again. After thirteen years of silence following Abram's detour with Hagar, God shows up and renews the same covenant He made years before. Before giving a single instruction, He reveals Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty, because His commands always flow from His character. He calls Abram to walk before Him faithfully and to be blameless, not meaning sinless perfection, but wholehearted and undivided surrender. Many people are not failing because they openly reject God. They are failing because they are divided, half trusting and half controlling, half believing the promise and half engineering the outcome.God renames Abram as Abraham, father of many nations, and Sarai as Sarah, speaking identity over them according to the promise rather than the present reality. The sign of circumcision is given not to create the covenant but to mark belonging to it. In the same way, a life that belongs to God today should bear visible marks of that belonging, not through performance, but through truth telling, generosity, repentance, and embodied obedience. When Abraham laughs at the promise and asks God to simply bless Ishmael instead, God responds with grace toward Ishmael but remains clear that His covenant will be established with Isaac. God is gracious toward our detours, but He does not rewrite His covenant around the shortcuts fear produces.One of the most powerful moments in the chapter is easy to overlook. After God speaks, Abraham obeys on that very day. Not eventually. Not after processing it for months. That very day, at 99 years old. Real faith does not just admire what God says. It moves. Covenant living is not about being impressive or perfect. It is about being wholehearted. God is not asking for a polished performance. He is asking for a surrendered life, trusting that the same God who kept His word to Abraham is still keeping His word today.

X2M.249 Prévoyance — The Remnant and the Secret Place Series: CR20 Place De La Concorde Psalm 30 opens the gate: sorrow in the night, joy in the morning, lament turned into dancing. The Lord does not merely rescue from the pit — He restores the song after the silence.¹ Micah 5 sets the battlefield: the daughter is surrounded, the ruler is struck, the city is besieged, and Bethlehem appears too small to matter.² Yet this is where the King emerges. This is **Prévoyance**: To see provision before it appears. To prepare before vindication manifests. To enter rest while still surrounded by siege. To stand in holy agreement before the promise becomes visible. In **Place De La Concorde** architecture, X2M.249 is the foresight event. The remnant learns to hold the square before deliverance arrives. The old head of fear is removed; the true Head installs peace, order, and covenantal sight in the heart. The siege is real. Supply is pressured. Provision is threatened. The enemy whispers scarcity, insult, displacement, and fear. But the Lord is not absent from pressure. He is forming a people who can stand inside it without being defined by it.³ Hannah teaches the first motion of Prévoyance. She moves from barrenness to birth, from affliction to praise, from longing for the promise to offering the promise back to God.⁴ “My heart rejoices in the Lord.” “My horn is exalted in the Lord.” “There is no rock like our God.” This is prophetic equilibrium: praise before proof. Mary completes the arc. Her Magnificat carries Hannah's song into incarnation. The humble servant becomes the womb of fulfillment. The seed promised to Abraham takes on flesh.⁵ This is the remnant pattern: The seed falls. The stump remains. The branch emerges. The Spirit rests. The scattered are gathered. Praise launches inheritance into fruitfulness.⁶ Prévoyance is not prediction. It is Spirit-formed foresight — preparation for what God has spoken before the visible realm supplies evidence.⁷ That is why the secret place becomes central. Psalm 91 is not escape language. It is combat architecture. The one who dwells in the secret place abides under the shadow of El Shaddai. The remnant learns war not first by striving, but by abiding.⁸ Joshua remains in the tent after Moses leaves. He is formed in presence before he is entrusted with the land. The armies of darkness may surround. The siege may appear complete. But the remnant does not measure reality by the enemy's circumference. It stands in agreement. It waits in peace. It holds the square until the King's order becomes visible. Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before! Decrease time over target: PayPal or Venmo @clastronaut Cash App $clastronaut X2M.249 Prévoyance is not about predicting what comes next. It is about seeing from the secret place — standing in holy agreement, preparing without fear, and holding the public square of the heart until the King's vindication appears. **Footnotes** ¹ Psalm 30: lament becomes joy. ² Micah 5: siege, smallness, and emergence. ³ Pressure reveals covenant identity. ⁴ Hannah models praise after affliction. ⁵ Mary carries the promise into incarnation. ⁶ Isaiah's remnant logic: stump, branch, seed, Spirit. ⁷ Prévoyance: foresight without fear. ⁸ Psalm 91: abiding as warfare. ⁹ Place De La Concorde: agreement, headship, and peace under the true King.
Join Fr. Assisi Saldanha, C.Ss.R. for an insightful journey into the heart of biblical storytelling in this episode of the Who's Who in the Bible series. As we begin this reflective study, Fr. Assisi turns our focus to the prime mover of the biblical landscape—God Himself. Through a warm and prayerful exploration, he unpacks the significance of the various names attributed to God throughout scripture, such as Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, and El Shaddai. By examining these titles, Fr. Assisi helps us move beyond simple facts to develop a deeper, more personal relationship with the Divine. The discussion expands into the Genesis creation narrative, contrasting it with ancient mythological stories to highlight the unique, effortless, and orderly nature of God's creative word. This episode invites listeners to ponder the balance between God's magnificent omnipotence and His tender, personal care for each of us in our fragility. We invite you to continue this meaningful journey by exploring the full series as we dive deeper into the characters and themes that shape our faith.

El Shaddai Great Are You Lord arr. Sean Hooper - Sean Hooper by First Community Church
This week's teaching focused on El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, revealing His power most clearly in places of weakness, waiting, and impossibility. Through the stories of Abraham, Job, and ultimately Jesus, we're reminded that God is both the unshakable mountain who overcomes every power and the tender Father who sustains and cares for His people. El Shaddai invites us to stop carrying life in our own strength and instead surrender fully to the God who is enough for every fear, failure, disappointment, and need.

This heartfelt message, centers on the powerful and nurturing nature of God, specifically emphasizing the name El Shaddai, meaning “God Almighty” and “the all-sufficient one.” Drawing from personal experience and scripture, Pastor Char shares how knowing God's character—His faithfulness, strength in weakness, and unwavering presence—brings profound comfort and sustenance, especially during times of loss and hardship. Using biblical stories like Abraham's covenant and Job's suffering, her message highlights that God's promises remain steadfast even when circumstances seem impossible. Rather than focusing on unanswered questions or painful situations, her message encourages believers to anchor their trust in who God is, not in why things happen. Pastor Char also stresses the importance of community, vulnerability, and receiving God's healing and restoration. Ultimately, this message is a powerful reminder that God is both mighty to fight our battles and tender enough to heal our broken hearts, calling us to surrender, trust, and experience His presence deeply in every season of life.

When I am weak, I lean on your strength. When I feel like I have nothing, I trust in your amazing abundance. Lord, I bring my impossibilities to you, knowing that nothing is too hard for you; you make a way in the most difficult of situations. Break through my doubt and fear and fill me with your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. I thank You for being my provider, my protector, and my refuge. In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently in a study on the names of God in the Old Testament. As we have mentioned, in the ancient world, names held a great deal of significance, indicating aspects of someone's character and purpose. Certainly, it is the same with God. God has many different names, all of which demonstrate one aspect of His character. Today, we are focusing on El Shaddai. This name for God is found seven times in the Old Testament. In our Genesis Scripture today, God introduces himself to Abram as El Shaddai. God personally met with Abraham and brought him a new revelation of himself. He is El Shaddai. Our translations use the English name God Almighty for the Hebrew El Shaddai. El Shaddai goes on to tell Abraham he would be the father of a many nations and that Sarah would bear a son. God changed both of their names, promised them a certain piece of land, then commanded a sign of his covenant, which we know as the sign of circumcision. God has waited a long time to bring this revelation to Abraham, so long that both Abraham and Sarah were past the age of childbearing. Romans 4:19-21 describes Abraham, "and without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old and the deadness of Sarah's womb." Later on in Genesis 17, it says that after El Shaddai spoke to Abraham, he had all the males in his household circumcised. Even Abraham at age 99 was circumcised! God Almighty asked and Abraham obeyed. We've talked about how the word El, in Hebrew, means God. Shaddai's translation is a bit trickier. There is much debate on how it should translate into our English language. Like many things found within Scripture there is deeper meaning here. Shaddai in Hebrew has many sounds and meanings within this one word, so let's dig a little deeper: · Shadu is a word in Akkadian language that Abram spoke and it means mountain. Thus, it would mean the God of the mountain. · Saday is a Hebrew noun that means a cultivated field or a wild place where animals abound. Thus, it would mean a God who is the creator of life. · Shad is a Hebrew noun which means breasts or relating to fertility. Thus, it means a God who nourishes or multiplies. · Day, at the end of word, means sufficient, enough, or abundance. And while we may translate El Shaddai as Almighty God in English, it really just isn't sufficient. El Shaddai is the God of the mountain who is Creator, who makes life out of nothing, multiplies it, and provides all we need and more in His great abundance. He is a God faithful to his promises. I hope you get a feel for the richness of the word. Part of our Scripture reading for today was also Psalm 91, a beautiful psalm of protection. And it reads something like this: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High God, El Elyon, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty, El Shaddai. To abide is an old word that means to remain in, to rest in. Thus, we call on El Shaddai when our life circumstances seem horrible or impossible and we need to lean into Him and remain in Him. In doing so, we receive his strength, his abundance, and his faithfulness. Out of his bounty, El Shaddai will pour into us and our life. Has there ever been a time in your life in which circumstances seemed impossible? Has there been a time in which you needed to be nourished back to life and reminded that we have a God who keeps His promises and wants you to be a part of them? Pray to El Shaddai today. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
There is power when a specific name is called on. Hypothetically, let's say we're on a boat in Bali, charting to the island of Nusa Pineda. If you hear me say, “Girls, come over here”, you would think, “hmmm, am I a girl? Yes – she wants to show me something and maybe it's something great I don't want to miss. But let's say we're on that boat in Bali, chartering to the island of Nusa Pineda for great adventures and you hear me say, “NURSE!”, you know that means something totally different. That means if you're not a nurse, this doesn't apply to you. But that means if you are a nurse, I need you to come quickly and help with a medical situation. That's all in the calling of a name. The name defines who is needed. You have many names perhaps. Friend, daughter, honey, mom, nurse, teacher … and each calls to you in a different way. For a mother, the sound of “Mom” turns every head in the grocery store. I'm Mom – what do you need? How can I take care of you? Now think about God. He reveals his different names to us for a reason – he wants us to call on him for who we need. The more you know his names, the better you can call on him and the more you can trust him. Remember, this study of the names of God comes from Psalm 9:10, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.” So far, we've studied 5 of the names of God. Let's do a review. Episode #2100: YHWH – The name you've always known since your first breath. A name not spoken, but rather breathed. LORD Episode #2101: Adonai – Lord, Master. The one responsible for you. Episode #2102: Elohim – Creator. The one who makes a new way when there is no way. The one who is making you new. Episode #2103: El Shaddai – God Almighty. The one whose hand is in everything and pours out his blessings on you. Episode #2104: Yahweh Rapha – The Lord who heals you – but not just your body, your mind, your heart, your relationships. Your entire life finds healing in him. Now, today, the 6th name of God revealed by God himself in scripture. A name he wants you to know so you can call on him in a very specific. A name he gives you so you can trust him more. Today's name is likely one you've never even heard of. A name that is very hard to pronounce, so together we're going to learn something new. Repeat after me – Mehhh Ka Desh Kem Together, Mehhh-ka-desh-kem. A name that tells you that you belong to him and he is actively shaping you. A name that gives you identity, value, worth, confidence and rest. A name that tells you to stop performing, stop trying to achieve so hard, stop trying to bend and contort yourself into perfection, and trust Yahweh Mekaddishkem to do his work in you. Is that what you need today? Girl, you don't have to figure this all out – you don't have to force anything – and you don't have to perform to please the Father. He's actually already done the work for you. We find this name in Exodus 31:3, but you won't see it in your English translation Bible. Without studying the original text of Hebrew, you'll completely miss this name God has shared of himself. Here's what you will see in your Bible: The LORD then gave these instruction to Moses: Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sing of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.” The LORD who makes you Holy in Hebrew was YHWH Mekaddishkem. Mekaddishkem comes from the Hebrew root “qadash” which means to sanctify, set apart, and to make you holy. So, what God is saying to his people here is I AM THE ONE WHO MAKES YOU FOREVER GOOD ENOUGH. It is my work in you that makes you holy. It's on ME to sanctify you. What does it mean that God will sanctify you? That's hard to explain isn’t it? What does that really look like? My friend, it's this simple and this incredibly unbelievable – You, in your totally flawed and imperfect state within the human condition are set apart for God's divine purpose and he is progressively and continually working on you to be more and more like Jesus. That is something you simply cannot do yourself, no matter how hard you try. What God is revealing to his people here isn't some unreachable complex theology, it's an identity shaping truth meant specifically of this people. YOU BELONG TO ME AND I AM ACTIVELY SHAPING YOU. You are “becoming” in me and through me. And who you're becoming is who he always created you to be – a girl who reflects Jesus! That's holy. That's sanctified. That's forever good enough. Your holiness is not self-produced. Think about God in his infinite and perfect ways – think about his unimaginable creation of the Universe all by just his spoken word – think of his power to do absolutely anything he wishes at any time – now really, do you think there's anything YOU could do that would impress HIM? Never. So, you can't stop trying to perform and earn your way to God's good graces. He's already declared you as worthy of his love. He's already claimed you as his dearly beloved Daughter of the Dance. You've already been set apart because of what HE did, not because of anything YOU have ever, could ever, or would ever do. You are set apart by God – you are different – you are HIS! This wasn't your responsibility. Your change, your growth, your newness comes from a source – that source is GOD – not you. You don't first act holy to be set apart. No, you are set apart, and once you understand that as your identity, you naturally begin to live differently. That's God's active, ever present, holy work happening IN YOU. You can't manufacture this holiness, you can only receive it. Open your hands and receive it. For real, open your hands right now and just receive his holiness. He's set YOU apart to be made holy by HIM. My sister, trying harder isn't your answer. Have you noticed all your efforts continually fall short. You know what gets you where you need to be? SURRENDER. You can't manufacture what God is trying to give you. You can only receive it with that open, surrendered hand and heart. Old Testament was about what you could do. Rules, laws, rituals, ceremonies, cleansing, sacrifices … and God's people continually messed that up. We simply couldn't get it right. We couldn't make ourselves holy. So, that's what our Jesus did for us. We're no longer a slave to continually trying to do the right thing. It's no longer about what you can do and what you can’t do – it's solely about WHO you belong to. This is belonging, and God says, “YOU BELONG TO ME – NOW I WILL MAKE YOU HOLY. I ALONE WILL SANCTIFY YOU.” Because God is the one who sanctifies you, you can know that your failure simply isn't in the way for him. You may stumble, God says that's all part of the process, and this is HIS PROCESS. Surrender and trust him along the way. Now, in closing, notice specifically where this revealing of God's name, YWHW Mekaddishkem comes – it comes after God gives his people the sabbath – a day of rest in his covenant with them. A day where he says, “Stop working. Stop striving. Stop trying to fix everything, and just rest in me. Let me work.” Is that what you need to hear today? Rest is part of the process of you becoming everything God desires of you. Will you trust God enough to STOP sometimes? Will you trust God enough to rest from the work too? YHWH Mekaddishkem means: God is not waiting for you to become holy – He is already committed to making you holy. He is actively sanctifying you. Stop trying to fix everything and start yielding to the one who is shaping you. You can trust YHWY Mekaddishkem completely.

There is a name God reveals of himself for when things look absolutely over. When the world says it's officially impossible. When you're at your end, without further possibility or hope and in need of a true miracle. This is where God says he is “El Shaddai”. El Shaddai. El means God and Shaddai means many things in many ways. It's not just one thing … just as God is not one thing. • Shaddai comes from the root word shadah which means to shed or to pour out. In this way, God is the one who pours out blessings, abundantly and continually. • The Hebrew word shad means chest or breast. God is both the strength of a man's chest and the all-sufficient nourishment of a woman's breast. • Shaddai also comes from the root word shadad, which means to display great power. • And when Shaddai was translated into Greek, the word pantokrator was used – which in English is Almighty. Specifically, one who has His hand on everything. Layers upon layers of deep meaning are in this name God reveals of himself. El Shaddai. He pours out blessings, he is strong with great power, he is more than enough, and his almighty hand is in everything, always. Girls, THAT IS OUR GOD! We see God use this name in Genesis 17:1. Speaking to Abraham, he says, “I am El-Shaddai – ‘God Almighty.' Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” The truth of this situation is Abraham is 99 years old and what God is saying is officially impossible. But God had made a promise to Abraham when he was 75 years old, a promise for descendants of his own. A man who had waited his whole life for children and he finally gets a promise from God in his old age, and then he's left waiting again. Waiting and waiting and waiting. And while he's waiting, God stops speaking. At this point, he's been waiting on the promise for nearly 25 years and even worse, it's been 13 years since the last recorded word from God to him. It was if God had gone silent and forgotten his promise. Abraham is 99, ain't no way it's happening now! Have you ever felt like God has gone silent on you? Like he used to be so near and so clear, but you somehow lost that connection. And with this disconnect, you are left wondering if his promises still stand for you and your future. That's a real feeling – one I have felt before and I bet you have too. My sister, God can handle those feelings. You don't have to hide them from him, you can be honest. This is where God meets Abraham – in the long waiting and wondering after years of silence and messy self-created problems. This is where God reveals that he is El Shaddai. Here, where the promise still hadn't happened, Abraham's body was incapable and Sarah's womb had cobwebs. God introduces himself right here at this point of impossibility. El Shaddai, Almighty and All-Sufficient. He is the God who can override natural limits without permission, understanding or explanation. And notice this … God waited all this time to reveal himself as El Shaddai. He waited for 25 years AFTER he made an impossible promise to Abraham. He waited for 13 years after he had last spoken to him. He waited in the painful silence and the impossible growing even more impossible. He waited until Abraham had absolutely no ability left whatsoever, and he waited until there was no hope left in that promise at all. And this is where El Shaddai comes on the scene. Why? Because only the Almighty, All-Sufficient one could do anything about this situation. Here's the truth, you don't need El Shaddai when you can work things out on your own. You don't need El Shaddai when you have other options. You don't need El Shaddai when there's still time. You need El Shaddai when it's humanly OVER. When the doctor says it's incurable. When the door is not only closed, but dead bolted shut. When it's 25 years past the deadline. When it's so far gone there's nothing but a pitch black tunnel ahead with no light to be found. That is when you need El Shaddai. This name of God comes with promise, it comes with identity, and it requires trust. Trust for what seems ridiculous to be trusting for. I don't know what you're finding so hard to trust for, but I bet there's something in your life that requires the power of El Shaddai. My friend, he is here for you. His hand is in everything, including your thing. He is more than enough for this situation that's way too far gone. His power is still over this! What God is saying to Abraham here is, “I am El-Shaddai, God Almighty. I am FULLY CAPABLE, so you just stay fully surrendered. Abraham, you live right and I will get this right!” Wow – there it is. That's precisely the message God has for you today. Hear him loud and clear. My girl, you live right and I will get this right! I am fully capable, you stay fully surrendered. El Shaddai requires trust over control and faith over striving. When you feel not enough… When you feel so far behind. .. When you feel completely incapable… When you feel like the opportunity has already passed and it's too late … El Shaddai says, “I am not limited by what you lack.” Your lack of answers doesn't limit God. Your lack of time doesn't affect God's infinite timeline. Your lack of resources doesn't deplete God of his resources. My friend, your timeline isn't restricting God and your resources are not defining his outcome. Go ahead and give him that impossible – give him that wayyyyy too late – give him that dead end and no hope – watch El Shaddai work!!! He will be more than enough for you. For my friend who is overwhelmed and stressed at work with an impossible load to carry – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who has watched the last thread of hope for someone to truly love you unravel and left you with a broken heart again – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who is still waiting and waiting and waiting, as you watch the promise coming true for everyone but you – you need El Shaddai. For my friend who doesn't even know how to hope anymore – you need El Shaddai. He doesn't need you to be strong here, he simply needs you to be surrendered here. Bring him that hopeless heart. Bring him that desperate need. Bring him that empty chair, that empty crib, that empty account, that empty spirit. El Shaddai, we're calling on you!!!!!!!! Remember what God is asking of you – LIVE RIGHT and stay surrendered – he will get this right for you. El Shaddai. The 4 meanings: 1. Shadah, shed your blessings. Pour them out abundantly, God. 2. Shad, both the strong powerful chest of a man and the all-sufficient nourishment of a woman's breast. 3. Shadad, displaying great power. 4. And pantokrator, the one who has his hand on everything! El Shaddai. He pours out blessings, he is strong with great power, he is more than enough, and his almighty hand is in everything, always. THAT IS YOUR GOD!

Avram is 99 years old when Hashem appears to him with a new name for Himself, El Shaddai, and an interesting command: walk before Me and be perfect. Rabbi Epstein and Tom spend this episode unpacking what that actually asks of a person, and why Rashi reads "walk before Me" as something more demanding than walking with G-d, and what separates Avram's path from Noach's.The verse goes on to talk about circumcision, and Rabbi Epstein relates the Talmud's exchange between Rabbi Akiva and a Roman about whether a perfect Creator would make an imperfect creation.Finally, we learn about the three spiritual safeguards of the land of Israel hidden inside the second blessing of Birkas Hamazon, and why the Crusaders lost Jerusalem to a people who shared at least one thing with Avraham's descendants.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Erika and Veronica explore the Hebrew name of God El Shaddai, meaning “the sufficient one.” This word is a hard one to translate into English, but the common current thought is that God is sufficient - He is enough. Erika and Veronica look at passages that discuss God being enough. This name of God is used in positive and negative situations. Naomi seems to have a tone when she says the One "who is enough" brought her back emptyhanded. Find out what we can learn about God when we realize He is enough because maybe that's all we finite creatures can handle right now and one day we will see how much greater and bigger He is.

In this episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job, we settle into one of the most important turning points in the book as Job shifts from defending himself before his friends to speaking directly to God. We spend concentrated time in Job chapters 13 and 14, watching Job dismantle the shallow theology being projected onto him and openly challenge his friends for misrepresenting God. We talk through the courtroom language Job uses, how his words echo later confrontations Jesus would have with the Pharisees, and why Job's desire to speak with El Shaddai reveals a deep longing for grace, mediation, and honest access to God long before Sinai. We also bring the text into real life, discussing suffering that has no clear cause, the temptation to assume hardship equals punishment, and how these same questions surface today in business loss, health struggles, and personal crises. As usual, the listener comments play a central role in shaping this discussion, with our desire that this effort be a shared journey of learning together rather than a detached study.What truly sets this episode apart for us is the emotional weight and transparency that unfolds as Elaine reads Job's words slowly and without rushing to resolution. We explore Job's hope-filled imagery of resurrection, his plea for God to withdraw His hand so real conversation can happen, and his refusal to hide behind religious language. The conversation naturally weaves Genesis, Adam's hiding, the longing to be clothed rather than exposed, and the danger of theological systems that silence pain instead of sitting with it. If you have ever felt worn down by easy answers, unheard in your suffering, or hungry for a faith that allows real questions, this conversation will be an encouragement to you.Here is a link to Toni Driver's YouTube Music Channel!!!https://youtube.com/@tonidriver1518?si=hvzHwHK1bi6P68TQIf you'd like to see the video of this discussion, hop on over to our Patreon page by clicking the link below:https://www.patreon.com/posts/150165047?collection=1984098Thanks for listening!
