This episode is about a few of God's attributes, and focuses on ones exclusive to God. These are not the typical ones but we wanted to start with a foundation built solely on God alone. More attributes on how God is love, just, merciful, and good will be in our second episode on this topic at the end of the season. God is self-existent. God is immutable. God is omnipresent. God is omniscient. God is omnipotent. Disclaimer: Madi and I are in no way experts, but we do believe it is essential to strive to learn more about who God is, and obediently live in boldness and confidence.
