In this solo sermon episode, I walk through one of the most foundational, and most misunderstood, doctrines in the Christian faith: the Image of God.

Not as an abstract theological concept, but as a truth spoken into real people, real suffering, and real identity confusion.

Before Israel ever heard the Ten Commandments, built the tabernacle, or stepped foot into the Promised Land, they heard God say something that shattered the worldview Egypt had drilled into them:

“You are My image. You belong to Me. Your worth isn’t in what you produce.”

This sermon episode explores that moment—how a nation of former slaves learned to see themselves not through Pharaoh’s eyes but through God’s, and how that same truth confronts the lies we still believe about ourselves today.

TAKEAWAYS FOR LISTENERS

You are not defined by productivity, performance, or comparison—your identity is bestowed by God.

Your daily work carries divine purpose because you are called to cultivate, steward, and create.

Your limits are gifts that remind you you’re human—and free you from pretending to be God.

Christ came not only to save sinners but to restore the fractured image within us.

The church is meant to be a living display of renewed humanity in a broken world.
