Episode 11 - Elohim: The God Before Everything

Exploring the name of God: His Identity, character and theological meaning.

In this episode of The Simply Christian Podcast, we take a break from our journey through Genesis to explore the very first name given to God in Scripture: Elohim — the God before everything.

Genesis doesn't open with an argument for God's existence, a philosophy, or a list of commandments. It opens with a name. So, in this episode, we slow down and ask what that name reveals: A God of power, of majesty, and of absolute authority, whom stands before creation, behind creation, and above creation — the One from whom everything comes and upon whom, everything depends.

Along the way, we discover how the names Elohim, YHWH, and Adonai unfold God's character across Scripture — the transcendent Creator of Genesis 1 who draws near in Genesis 2, walking in the garden with His people.

And we see how these names converge in the most astonishing claim of all: The Word became flesh, and how the Creator stepped into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ.

If life feels formless, empty, or dark, this episode offers a liberating truth — the God who spoke light into the first darkness still speaks light into your world today, and He can be trusted with your tomorrow.
