In this episode, Erika and Veronica explore the Hebrew name of God El Olam, meaning “Everlasting God.” First introduced in Genesis 21:33 when Abraham called on the Lord after establishing a covenant, this name points to a God whose existence and faithfulness extend beyond time itself. Scripture repeatedly reminds us that while human life is temporary, God remains constant “from everlasting to everlasting” (Psalm 90:2). El Olam reveals a God who is not limited by history, geography, or the rise and fall of nations, but who sovereignly rules over all time. Understanding this name helps us trust that the same God who was faithful to Abraham remains faithful to us today.
