#056 "God Alone is God - Part 1" (Deut. 6:4)

Is it narrow-minded—or deeply loving—to say that Yahweh alone is God?

In this powerful episode, Kate confronts the bold and often uncomfortable claim of divine exclusivity found in Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” But this isn’t just theology—it’s personal. It’s cultural. It’s urgent.

Whether you’re feeling hesitant to declare your faith in a world that demands spiritual relativity, or you’re longing for a deeper understanding of who God says He is—this episode invites you into clarity, courage, and conviction. You’ll learn:

• What the Shema truly means and why it’s still vital today
• How “hearing” in Hebrew means far more than passive listening
• Why God’s exclusive claim isn’t arrogant, but profoundly loving
• How to respond to today’s most common cultural objections
• What history, archaeology, and Scripture together affirm about the God of the Bible

This episode will challenge you, equip you, and—above all—lead you back to the heart of the One who simply says: I AM.

🎙️ Whether you’re wrestling with doubts or eager to stand firm, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss (and there's more - part 2 is on deck for next week!)
