Season 5, Episode 2: What's in a Name?

Names matter throughout the Bible, and in this fun and fact-filled episode, Dan and Sean take a fascinating look at some of Scripture's most memorable names and name changes. Why are there so many people named Joseph? How do we keep the four different Josephs straight? Did Saul really change his name to Paul? And who exactly was Judas—not Iscariot?

Along the way, Dan and Sean explore the meanings behind biblical names, the significance of God-given name changes, and how names often reveal something deeper about a person's identity, mission, or relationship with God. From Abraham and Sarah to Peter and Paul, this episode uncovers surprising connections and clears up some common misconceptions.

Whether you're a Bible trivia enthusiast or simply curious about the people behind the names, you'll enjoy this engaging conversation filled with insight, humor, and plenty of biblical facts. Join us as we discover what's really in a name!
