What does it really mean to be made in the image of God?
In this series, Imago Dei, Greg and Nathan dive into one of the most foundational truths of the Bible: that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26–27). But what does that actually mean? How does it shape our identity, purpose, and relationships?
Through honest conversation and practical insight, they tackle key questions like:
How are humans different from animals and angels?
What’s the difference between being like God and being God?
What does the image of God say about our worth—even in a broken world?
How does it affect the way we relate to others, steward creation, and find our purpose?
And how does Jesus show us what it really means to live as true image-bearers?
Whether you’re new to theology or looking for a deeper understanding of your identity in Christ, this episode lays the groundwork for a powerful journey through the doctrine of the Imago Dei.
