Jesus' Hebrew name Yehoshua and the personal name Yahweh
The hosts discuss that Jesus' Hebrew long-form name is Yehoshua and that names don't change across languages the way translations imply; one notes kids loved learning there is no 'J' sound in Hebrew and now call the book 'Yob.' They observe that rendering God's personal name Yahweh as 'the LORD' makes it feel generic, while Jonah uses Yahweh exclusively and names only two characters — Yahweh and Jonah — making the story more personal.
