When life collapses beneath you, what name of God do you call on first? Most Christians never learn the deeper meanings behind the names that reveal His character, His closeness and His power to meet them in their hardest places. Award winning author and international missionary Grace Fox joins Dr. Sherri Tenpenny to expose the forgotten truths inside God’s most intimate names and why understanding them can change everything about how you survive crisis.
Grace shares the harrowing moment in Nepal when she handed her medically fragile newborn to her husband and watched him board a plane alone. No job. No home. No insurance. No guarantee she would ever see her baby alive again. What God whispered to her in that moment became the foundation of her faith for the next forty years. And it came from a name of God she thought she understood… until she actually needed it.
She reveals the name that carried her through more than a dozen surgeries, meningitis and two years of uncertainty. She explains why God sometimes calls you back into the very situation you ran from. And she shares the stunning moment in Scripture when Jesus turned toward a terrified, untouchable woman and did something no one expected. Grace says that story contains one of the most misunderstood meanings of “shalom,” and when you hear it, you will never hear that word the same way again.
Dr. Tenpenny and Grace walk through the seven names in her book, but not as a gentle devotional. These names become a map for surviving real life. Yahweh Shalom for chaos. El Shaddai for exhaustion. El Roi when you feel invisible. Abba when you’ve been abandoned. Yahweh Ori when you’re standing in a darkness you didn’t choose and can’t escape.
Why does knowing God as Father set Christianity apart from every world religion. Why did Jesus draw public attention to the woman who touched His cloak instead of protecting her anonymity. Why does God allow dark seasons instead of preventing them. And what do you do when you’ve taken in too much bad news and your heart starts blaming God for what mankind has caused.
The answers inside this episode may surprise you, and some may unsettle you. But every one of them will deepen your understanding of the God who sees you.
