A God Who Does Not Change and Cannot Be Shaken
God’s Immutability and Impassibility

If God could change, His promises could fail. If God could be emotionally wounded, His sovereignty would weaken. In this episode, we examine two often misunderstood attributes of God: His immutability and His impassibility. Scripture reveals a God who does not shift, adjust, or evolve, and who is not subject to emotional turmoil or suffering as creatures are. Far from making God distant, these truths secure our confidence in Him. God’s love is not fragile, His mercy is not reactive, and His purposes are never in danger. This episode calls us to rest in a God whose nature is steady, whose will is settled, and whose faithfulness never wavers.
