What WAS YOUR Name?

• Why did God change Abram’s name to Abraham?
• Why did Sarai become Sarah?
• And why did God do it before the promise was visible?

In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener teaches Genesis 17 with sharp biblical clarity, Hebraic worldview, Ancient Near Eastern context, and real life application. This is not a small detail in Abraham’s story. This is a covenant identity moment.

God appears as El Shaddai, calls Abram to walk before Him and be blameless, renames Abram and Sarai, gives the sign of circumcision, and speaks future identity before circumstances catch up. This episode shows why names carried weight in the ancient world, why covenant signs mattered, and why so many people today are still letting pain, delay, fear, shame, and appearances speak louder than the word of God.

If you’ve ever felt like your life’s been named by disappointment instead of promise, this episode will meet you right there.

The Bible Rebinder I Mentioned on the Podcast

This is one of the three Bibles Melissa of MooseWorks Bible restored for me, beautifully rebound with a rugged new cover and exceptional attention to detail.

A Bible is more than a book. It is often a treasury of prayers, notes, promises, memories, and the record of a life spent seeking God.

If you have a treasured Bible that deserves to be preserved with excellence, I am honored to recommend Melissa of MooseWorks Bible.

Her work is marked by beautiful craftsmanship, thoughtful detail, and genuine kindness. She does not simply repair Bibles. She helps preserve the story they carry.
