His name was Moses. He was eighty years old. He had spent forty years in the desert tending someone else's sheep — a former prince of Egypt reduced to a shepherd in Midian.

And then a bush caught fire. And did not burn up. Moses turned aside to look. And from the bush, a voice spoke his name. What happened next is one of the most examined conversations in all of human history. Because Moses asked a question that nobody had thought to ask before.

"When the people ask me — what is His name — what shall I say?"

Last time, I asked a question I was told not to ask as a child. 

Who made God?

Today I want to ask a different question. One that science, philosophy, and ancient theology have all been asking — in their own languages — for thousands of years.

What is everything made of?

Not just physically. Not just materially. What is the deepest thing? What is underneath all of it — underneath the atoms, underneath the particles, underneath everything we can see and measure and touch?

I want to take you on a journey today across three very different disciplines — modern physics, ancient Greek philosophy, and a Hebrew text written thousands of years ago. And I want to show you something that still genuinely unsettles me.

They keep arriving at the same place. Let's explore that in this episode.

I started tracing. Her mother. Her mother's mother. All the way back. Until I hit the only name I knew at the beginning of everything.

And then I asked: Who made God?

The response? "We don't think about those things oo. Else you will go mad."

They laughed. And I learned to stop asking.

In this first episode of ABA, The Seed, host Aaron Boakye Acquah traces the question that started it all — from a childhood memory in a Ghanaian compound house to a personal revival that gave him a new name and a new assignment.

This episode covers: — The question that shaped a lifetime of searching — How culture and church can silence genuine spiritual curiosity — A journey into theology, quantum physics, ancient Hebrew, and Greek philosophy — The meaning behind the name ABA — and why this podcast exists — An open invitation to everyone who was told their questions were too dangerous

This is not a podcast with all the answers. It is a podcast that believes the questions themselves are sacred.

ABA The Seed is for the curious, the church-hurt, the hungry, and the honest. For everyone who stopped asking out loud but never stopped asking inside.

My name is Aaron. God calls me ABA.

And this is where we grow.
