Is God different in the Old Testament than He is in the New Testament? In this episode, we dive into one of the most common and most misunderstood questions about the Bible. We talk honestly about passages that feel hard to reconcile, explore God’s character across both testaments, and look at how justice, mercy, holiness, and grace are present from beginning to end. Rather than pitting the Old Testament against the New, this conversation shows how Scripture tells one unified story of an unchanging God who reveals Himself more fully through Jesus. If you’ve ever wrestled with the “God of wrath vs. God of love” tension, this episode is for you.
