Summary
What’s your name again?
One time I was podcasting someone fairly well-known, and within the first five minutes of our discussion, I called him by the wrong name (multiple times). Apparently, he wasn’t as well-known to me as I thought. Thankfully, his wife happened to be on the podcast too and she very graciously let me know that I had his name wrong. #Died
There’s a lot that goes into our names, especially if we go back and consider the significance of names in biblical times. We know that God has many different names, revealing different aspects of his character. And we also know that there are instances in the Bible where God changed someone’s name to give that person a new perspective and, oftentimes, a new beginning.
This month, I’m trying something a little bit different. On Mondays, I will be releasing short “Mini-Mess” podcasts, giving quick biblical truths with lasting values. As you may have guessed, we will be studying name changes in the Bible and their significance on how we live our lives each and every day this side of eternity.
As we continue to parent our kids in this new world with new rules, be reminded that God still rules. His word is an ever-present encouragement in the hard places we’re facing.
Grab your Bible. Let’s spend a few minutes together in God’s word.

| 0:00.0 | This is Cynthia Anoff, and you're listening to Pardon a Mess, or as we like to call these short episodes, a mini-mess. |
| 0:12.0 | Quick biblical conversations with lasting truth. |
| 0:15.0 | Glad you're with us on this new little endeavor I'm trying for the month of July. |
| 0:19.2 | We're going to use Mondays for a faith-filled |
| 0:22.1 | conversation, quick little podcast where we talk about the word of God and how it applies to our |
| 0:26.7 | lives right now, especially in the craziness we're living at this moment. And so my hope is that |
| 0:31.5 | in the middle of all the crazy things you do all day with kids around, and I mean, they are around all the time. Can I get an amen? And so I'm |
| 0:41.5 | hoping this will be a way for you to spend a few minutes in the word and we can talk through it. |
| 0:45.1 | And we'll do it this month of July. And then who knows, maybe we'll continue. And so we're |
| 0:49.6 | talking this month about name changes in the Bible, where God comes in and changes someone's |
| 0:54.5 | name. And there are several places, if you've been in scripture much, where you've seen |
| 0:58.3 | this happen. And typically God will change someone's name to mark one of two things, either |
| 1:03.2 | that he's renewing a covenant in their life or two, when there's been a transformation |
| 1:08.0 | of this person. And so the first one I want us to study, and you're going to stick with me here because |
| 1:13.5 | I'm going to go through some scripture with you and then we'll tie it together. |
| 1:16.3 | But at the end of our few weeks doing this in July, there's a major tie-in, and I think |
| 1:20.9 | it's going to be significant to all of us, so just stay with me. |
| 1:24.2 | But we're going to be in Genesis 17, and it's when God changes Abrams name to Abraham. |
| 1:30.3 | In Genesis 17, 1, it says, when Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, |
| 1:36.5 | I am God Almighty, walk before me and be blameless. So let's just stop right there. He's 99 years |
| 1:42.5 | old, and God comes and he introduces himself. And he says, |
| 1:45.9 | I am God Almighty. And so he's introducing himself to Abram, not because Abram is not familiar with the Lord. |
