Dr. Kyle Claunch, professor of systematic theology and elder at Kenwood Baptist Church, teaches Reformed Theology. He opens with Moses at the burning bush and explores Yahweh’s self-existence. He defines incomprehensibility: God can be truly known yet not exhaustively known. He contrasts extremes, discusses intimate covenantal knowing, and draws biblical proofs without losing reverent worship.

Episode notes
Approach God With Reverent Awe
- The burning bush scene teaches that studying God demands reverence, not mastery.
- Moses is told to take off his sandals because God is holy and masters the seeker, not vice versa.
Study Theology With Humble Posture
- Keep a posture of humility when studying doctrine and theology.
- Embrace awe and reverence rather than treating God as an object to be mastered.
God Is Self-Existent: 'I Am Who I Am'
- God names himself I AM to show his self-existence and self-definition.
- Yahweh indicates God does not derive being from anything external and is the only necessary being.
