What is the self? What does it mean to be human? These are some of the major questions being asked in our cultural moment. The good news is that we can find creditable answers for them in the words of Jesus.

In this episode, Bryan & Bonnie Pue discuss what Jesus is talking about in Luke 9 where He says, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”

We cover the topics of:

-The biblical view of the self compared to the secular psychological view.

-The human identity in creation, redemption and glorification

-Humanity being made in the image of God.

- The integration of body, soul and spirit.

- Gnosticism and modern gender theory

- The hope of redemption we have in Jesus
