God's Name in Vain? What It Really Means with Carmen Joy Imes

from Theology Project with Matt O’Reilly · host Matt O’Reilly

What does it really mean to take the Lord’s name in vain? In this episode, Dr. Carmen Imes joins Theology Project to challenge the common assumption that the third commandment is only about swearing. Drawing from her book Bearing God’s Name, she shows how this command is actually about identity, mission, and representing God well in the world. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to truly honor God’s name, this conversation will open your eyes.
