In this episode we discuss the theological term Imago Dei and it’s impact on us in everyday life. It is both humbling and empowering at the same time. We also share the Gospel and how to grow in Christ once you have become a Christian. This episode features poetry by Cyrus Speaks.
Show Notes:
- Imago Dei is Latin for “Image of God”, is a theological term, applied uniquely to humans, which denotes the symbolical relation between God and humanity
- By seeing everyone as image bearers, we can view everyone as equals
- Once we become Christians we have to be intentional about growing in Christ
