Ep. 83 90% of Us Don’t Know What Our Own Name Means — Does It Even Matter?
A Called & Curious conversation where faith, story, and brain science intertwine to help you live from the overflow.
90% of us don’t know what our own name means.
But does it even matter?
Spoiler: it matters — to God, to your identity, and to the way your brain is wired.
In this hands-on, heart-opening episode, you’ll play The Name Game — a mix of Scripture, neuroscience, and sticky-note soul work. Together, we’ll explore what your name really means, what God might be whispering over you in this season, and how five of His names can rewire the way you live, lead, and love.
🧠 Fun fact: studies show around 9 in 10 people have never learned the true meaning of their own name.
Bring a sticky note, a pen, and your curiosity — because this isn’t just a listen; it’s an identity reset you can feel.
Inside, you’ll discover:
• Why hearing your name lights up your brain’s identity center
• How pairing your name with God’s truth changes self-talk
• Five of God’s names that refill your peace and purpose — El Roi, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom, and Jehovah Rapha
• Real stories, real science, and a little Chick-fil-A sauce along the way
☕ Grab your coffee and come play The Name Game — one promise, one prayer, and maybe one napkin at a time.
💛 A little love from Ashriel, joy meets Jehovah Shalom.

Takeaway Quote to Share
The names we believe shape the lives we live — because what we call ourselves determines how we show up, and what we call God determines how we trust.

Maybe the reason God gave us names wasn’t just for identification — but for invitation.
Every time you hear your name, heaven whispers, ‘Remember who you are — and whose you are.’
