When you think about "image," what comes to mind? Grasping the importance of being made in God's image is one of our spiritual essentials but most people don't have a good understanding of what it means. In this episode, Sean & Khalil explore the biblical narrative surrounding God's Image and explore how a deeper understanding of what scripture says here shapes and changes how we live, what we live for, and how we share God with those around us. In summary, We were created for the purpose of imaging God. Sin is the failure to be righteous and to image the Creator as we were made to; it is falling short of the image of God by failing to represent His character and communicable attributes in creation. But Jesus frees us from sin and invites us back to God's original plan for his creation. resources For more conversations like this one, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, give us a rating and follow us on social media Follow & Support Follow us on Instagram https://www.patreon.com/wtttpodcast (Support us on Patreon)

what's one of the most subtle and socially acceptable sins of social media today? One word: Slander. If we are made in the Image of God to reflect him to the world around us, how does that impact the way we live and relate on social media and in digital spaces? We have embodied beings (we have a body) in an increasingly disembodied world. There are many things we would never do in person that we consider okay on social media. Sean and Khalil wrestle with this topic and how Christians are meant to live in digital spaces - something the Bible may not speak directly about, but to which it still has plenty to say.

The word evangelism is either a buzzword that means everything or a confusing term that means nothing to many of us. But what is evangelism really? And if it's an essential part of the Christian life and witness, how do we do it well? That's our conversation with Andy Zeizmer from A Jesus Mission; they actively live out the Great Commission, seeking to proclaim the name of Jesus through everyday means and both ordinary and extraordinary methods around the world.

We're talking with a Messianic Jewish Rabbi to help us understand how this lost idea literally has the power to transform discipleship, shape our families, and change our lives forever.

this time on the podcast we want to introduce you to one of the spiritual disciplines that most affect the development of our hearts. The Christian spiritual discipline of memorization; also known as scripture memorization. The process of memorizing scripture is so powerful because it moves the word of God from a collection of words we merely process cognitively into something that transforms our heart spiritually; it becomes deeper than knowledge, it becomes part of our very being as image-bearers. When scripture becomes a part of who we are, there is no other option but for the word of God to flow from us through our words, our actions, and our character and transforms our lives.
