On this Trinity Sunday we think about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three persons, one God. In the beginning we see all three present, and that man is created in their image, the image of God. Much has happened since that time, and that begs the question: Are we created in the image of God? And that might make us first ask this question: What is the image of God? As we see Jesus who is fully God and fully man, maybe He can provide an answer for us.
On the first Sunday of Pride Month, Pastor Justin preaches on our themes of reclamation and joy, sharing that we are all made in the image of God.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we think, work, and relate to one another. But what does AI mean for truth, identity, and what it means to be human? As technology races toward AGI and even transhumanism, Christians need a biblical framework for understanding these cultural shifts. In this episode of the Truth Changes Everything podcast, Randall Niles—a pastor, lawyer, and leader at GotQuestions.org and AllAboutGOD.com—explores the worldview driving the AI revolution and explains how the biblical doctrine of the image of God (imago Dei) provides clarity and hope in an age of accelerating technology. We discuss: How AI is changing everyday life The worldview behind AI, AGI, and transhumanism Truth and identity in a digital age What it means to be made in the image of God How following Jesus reshapes our use of technology Why authentic community and human presence matter more than ever Whether you're curious about artificial intelligence, Christian ethics, or the future of humanity, this conversation offers a thoughtful biblical perspective on one of the defining issues of our time.

Heb1:1-3 Christ the Image of God
Elizabeth Berget joins the podcast to explore the maternal heart of God — tracing how the Hebrew word rakum, often translated simply as "compassionate," is linguistically rooted in the word for womb, and what it means that God reaches for that word first when describing himself to Israel. The conversation moves through pregnancy, labor, and the crucifixion, the theology of secure attachment, what scripture's birth language reveals about salvation, and why expanding our image of God isn't a departure from orthodox Christianity but a return to something ancient that's largely been lost in translation.ELIZABETH BERGET is a speaker and author of Love like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God. Her work has appeared in Christianity Today, Coffee + Crumbs, Mothering Spirit, and other online spaces where mothers gather to find meaning in the mundane. She shares her thoughts in her Substack newsletter, Back of the Flock, where she explores the image of God in the everyday work of motherhood. Berget has lived in Africa and Asia but now resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her husband, three kids, and one mischievous dog. And yes, she'd love to hold your baby.Elizabeth's Book:Love Like a MotherElizabeth's Recommendations:Nervous SystemsLiving EasterConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Two Trees Podcast, we explore the story of Cain in Genesis 4, asking what it means to bear God's image outside the Garden—and what happens when that calling is rejected. Tracing Cain's motives, his refusal to master sin, and his failure as both priest and brother, we examine how the ground itself becomes a witness to his rebellion and how exile shapes the biblical theme of wandering “east of Eden.” Yet even in judgment, God's unexpected grace appears in the mysterious “mark of Cain,” not as punishment but protection. This episode challenges us to look beyond the mark itself and wrestle with the deeper question at the heart of the story: why does Cain choose violence, and why does God extend mercy to the undeserving?

COL1:15-17 Christ is the Image of God
God is a God of relationship and covenant, operating through unilateral agreements extended by grace (diiathe) rather than bilateral, human-style contracts. Before creating man, God first entered into a covenant with Himself—specifically the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—to make mankind in His image and likeness. This original "Edenic Covenant" granted man the authority to rule over the earth, a mandate that man failed to fulfill after falling into sin and relinquishing dominion to Satan. Despite this break in fellowship, Bern emphasizes that God remains faithful to His word, eventually establishing a "new and better covenant" through the blood of Jesus to resolve the problem of sin and restore the original relationship.A primary focus of this study is the tripartite nature of man, who is composed of spirit, soul, and body to mirror God's own tripartite nature. Drawing from the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, Bern argues that man was created sequentially: first as a spirit to walk with God, then as a living soul (nephesh) formed from "fine particles" or dust, and finally as a physical being. The "coats of skin" described in Genesis are interpreted not as animal hides, but as the physical body itself, which served to "wall in" the soul and spirit as a consequence of the fall. While this physical existence introduced pain and labor, the study concludes that a millennial restoration will eventually allow mankind to fulfill the original command to possess the earth in a perfect, eternal age.For more information on our books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please go to: https://www.walkinginpower.org
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Echoes of Eden series, Tim and Steve continue their journey through Genesis 3—moving beyond the fall itself into its deeper consequences, surprising grace, and the first glimpse of the Gospel.What actually happens after humanity's disobedience? Is this story about punishment… or something else entirely?As the narrative unfolds, we encounter the protoevangelium—the first announcement of Good News—pointing forward to Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death. Along the way, we wrestle with some big theological questions: Did God punish Adam and Eve—or reveal the consequences of their choices? What really changed in humanity after the fall? How has the doctrine of original sin shaped the Gospel we preach today? Drawing from the writings of Ephrem the Syrian, this episode also explores a breathtaking vision of Paradise—not just as a lost place, but as a present reality and a future hope fulfilled in Christ.This conversation invites you to rethink the story: From fear to love. From punishment to restoration. From exile… to the promise of returning home.
In this deeply honest and theologically rich episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes Jen Oshman—author, missionary, and mom of four daughters—to tackle a question many women silently struggle with: Is it good that I was born a woman? Together, they candidly explore how issues of body image, shame, and the cultural pressures of womanhood can lead to deep-seated doubts and frustration. Drawing from global and biblical perspectives, Jen Oshman shares insights gathered from years of cross-cultural ministry and studying God’s word. She addresses the vulnerabilities women face, both physically and socially, and how Western and global cultures shape our understanding of femininity. Jen Oshman unpacks what the Bible says about being female, highlighting the unique and powerful stories of women in Scripture that often get overlooked, and discusses why God’s design for women is not only intentional but also very good. Key Topics Covered Why the question, “Is it good that I was born a woman?” is more common than we realize The impact of shame, fear, and the lived realities of being female in our culture How body image struggles can be rooted in deeper frustrations about being a woman A biblical look at femininity—separating culture’s checklist from God’s truth The meaning of “helper” (Ezer) in Genesis and its empowering implications Why diversity among women in Scripture matters—and what we can learn from their stories Studying tough Old Testament laws (like menstruation) in context and seeing God’s heart of care for women Practical encouragement for women who wrestle with their purpose and God’s plan for their gender How to dig deeper into biblical womanhood with Jen’s new Lifeway Bible study, “Very Good” Connect with Jen here: https://www.jenoshman.com Grab a copy of Jen's new Bible study: "Very Good" on Amazon here.** Amazon affiliate link.

The 10 Commandments E4 — Before Yahweh gives the 10 Commandments to Israel, he reminds them that he is the God who liberated them from slavery and is entering into a covenant with them. So how does this connect with the first commandment, “You will have no other gods before me”? And what does that even mean? In this episode, Jon and Tim walk through the 1st Commandment, exploring how a command about ultimate allegiance can keep the newly liberated people of Israel (and us) free.

In the world of the Bible, names were never just labels—they carried identity, authority, and even power. In this episode of The Two Trees Podcast, we explore how the ancient cultures surrounding Genesis understood naming as an act of ordering the world, and how that context reshapes our reading of Adam in the garden. When God brings the creatures to Adam, this is more than observation—it is a divine invitation into stewardship, priesthood, and participation in God's rule. But what happens when that gift is distorted? From the blessing and cursing of the tongue to the deeper meaning behind renamed figures in Scripture, this episode invites you to rediscover the weight of words and the calling to speak life in a world shaped by exile.Authors note:. I MADE A MISTAKE. Around 53.26 I said Adam called his wife Ezer that is incorrect he calls her Isah which means woman Ezer is the word translated helper in verse 8. It's the word what describes what the Isah is suppose to be. I apologize.
Send us Fan MailWhy are there two creation accounts in Genesis?In this episode, Tim and Steve explore Genesis 2 and reveal how these complementary accounts give us a fuller understanding of who God is—both transcendent and deeply personal.Rather than repetition, Genesis presents a layered story: a God who speaks galaxies into existence, and a God who forms humanity with care and breathes life into them.This conversation unpacks what it means to live in “garden life”—a life of communion with God—and how themes like ruach (breath/spirit), poverty of spirit, and human identity point us back to our original design.
Marty Solomon joins me to talk about what it actually means to be human and why starting with belovedness changes everything. We explore how the stories we believe shape our view of God, ourselves, and others, why certainty can get in the way of real faith, and how to hold both our brokenness and our belovedness at the same time. This conversation moves from theology into practice - how we listen to the Spirit, see our enemies as human again, and participate in the shalom God is already bringing in the world.Marty Solomon is a theologian, the president and director of discipleship for Impact Campus Ministries, and the creator and executive producer of The BEMA Podcast. He and his wife, Rebekah, live in Cincinnati with their two children.

If we say with the Apostle Paul that "law is spiritual" can't that lead to antinomianism? Does a fear of antinomianism lurk behind the thinking of some theonomists? Is it behind the rhetoric of some abortion abolitionists who recently castigated all who did not think that Tennessee's legislators should make an abortive mother indictable either for first or second degree murder? Paul gives all those interested in law and public policy something to chew on.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the image of God (Elokim) He made him.” The majority of the secrets of the Kabbalistic esoterica are hidden in these cryptic words, but the magisterial work, Nefesh HaChaim, authored by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, begins by explaining a profound understanding of these words. There is indeed some overlap between man and God. God is the source of all power, the source of all vitality, and He endowed man with some of that power. We have the ability to move worlds. We have the ability to make cosmic transformation. In this very special episode, we begin our study of this fundamental work of Torah philosophy. What we learn radically reshapes our perspective of what man is and what impact man has.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

The soul and the body “are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature.” The Catechism introduces us to this profound mystery and begins to unpack our nature as a body and as a soul. Fr. Mike shows us how so much pain and confusion in modern times—and indeed throughout history—stems from an attempt to separate these two inseparable parts of our being. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 362-368. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). The Catechism teaches us about man's God-given dignity and unique place in creation. Fr.
