0153 | The Ten: Do Not Bear the Lord’s Name in Vain. Living in a Way That Honors the Name We Carry.

📖 What does it really mean to “not take the Lord’s name in vain”? It’s not just about what we say—it’s about how we live. In this episode, Pastors Stephen and Nate unpack the third commandment, showing how we bear God’s name through our actions, attitudes, and integrity. When we misrepresent God with our lives or misuse His name for personal justification, we violate a command that carries deep spiritual weight. This conversation challenges believers to live with reverence, humility, and a greater awareness of what it means to carry the name of Christ in a culture that desperately needs to see Him clearly.
