Episode Synopsis

The podcast episode focuses on Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,” and unpacks the importance of reputation, integrity, and the spiritual meaning behind names. The speaker explains that names not only identify us but also carry legacies and reputations, using biblical examples such as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Though given Babylonian names (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), these men refused to compromise their faith, standing firm against idolatry despite pressure from King Nebuchadnezzar’s rule. The message highlights how the world may label believers with derogatory names or try to reshape their identity, but God’s name and calling remain higher. Ultimately, the sermon encourages listeners to live honorably, guard their testimony, and remember that a good name before God is worth far more than riches or worldly approval.
