In Part 1 of this 2-part episode, Amy Beck is joined by Dr. Trina Boice to explore the Hebrew language of covenant faith.

Together they unpack three transformative words from the Old Testament:

• • Hineni (הִנֵּנִי) — “Here I am. I am ready.”
  • Hesed (חֶסֶד) — Covenant love, mercy, loyal kindness.
  • Kadosh (קָדוֹשׁ) — Holy, sacred, set apart.
• • And a special bonus word!

• 
  

  These words reveal how deeply the Lord’s covenants are rooted in love, holiness, and divine readiness.
  🎧 Tune in next week for Part 2, featuring three more Hebrew words that bring even greater insight into God’s eternal character.
