Episode Title: That Very Day: What It Means to Be a Man of Your Word

Episode Description:

At 99 years old, Abraham receives a new name, a renewed promise, and an ask from God that nobody would sign up for voluntarily. No numbing cream. No modern medicine. Just immediate obedience. Genesis 17 challenges everything about delayed obedience and convenient commitment. When God says "walk before me and be blameless," He's not asking for perfection—He's asking for a heart that says yes even when the ask is hard. This episode will make you reconsider what you've been putting off and why reassurance might just be another word for excuse.

In This Episode:

1. Why God changed Abram and Sarai's names (and what that means for you)
2. The power of speaking meaning over people through their names
3. God's covenant promise versus God's uncomfortable ask
4. What "walk before me and be blameless" actually means
5. Why Abraham laughed but still obeyed immediately
6. The difference between seeking reassurance and making excuses
7. What took the host a full year to obey (and why you shouldn't wait that long)

Key Quote:

"See 'walking before God and being perfect' is just like Leaving the Kid's Table, it's a daily choice. It's waking up and making the choice to follow God, to build your relationship with God, and do as God has asked you."
