Hey friend! It is Linda driving this one today! And most of us know Jehovah Jireh as "The Lord Who Provides"—but what if we’ve been missing something even deeper?
In this episode, I sit down with Shelly Griffin, a Biblical scholar and dear friend whose understanding of God's names will challenge everything you thought you knew about faith, surrender, and divine provision.
We dive deep into:
-
The hidden meaning of "Jehovah Jireh" that changes how we see God's provision.
-
Why God doesn't just see—He sees TO IT.
-
The gut-wrenching story of Abraham and Isaac and why it makes no sense… until it does.
-
How God’s timing is never random—He provides in the exact moment we need Him.
-
The personal struggles, modern-day tests of faith, and why surrender is the key to experiencing God's presence.
If you've ever wondered:
-
"Why would God ask me to give something up—especially something He gave me?
-
Why does obedience feel so costly sometimes?"
-
"How can I know if God will REALLY provide?"
This episode will give you answers—and maybe even wreck you (in the best way).
