In this episode of DAUGHTERS, Carina explores creativity through a biblical worldview and asks why beauty, meaning, and originality are disappearing in modern culture. Inspired by the Renaissance Conference, she reflects on how creativity has been flattened, distorted, and detached from holiness and truth.Carina explains that all creativity flows from being made in the image of a Creator. When holiness is lost, beauty is lost. Drawing from Isaiah 6, she shows how true creativity begins with an encounter with the holiness of God, leading to purification, clarity, and commissioning.The episode also connects creativity to the Bible's role in shaping Western civilization. Scripture formed the foundation for human dignity, reason, science, music, and the arts by affirming that reality is ordered, meaningful, and knowable. This worldview made creativity, learning, and discovery possible.Carina reflects on music as a spiritual reality that cannot be explained by materialism alone. She contrasts biblical Christianity with nihilistic and deterministic worldviews that deny the soul, strip humans of agency, and ultimately collapse into meaninglessness.This episode is a call for Christian creatives to rise, create with truth and holiness, and align their gifts with God's purpose. We create because we belong to the Creator.Book a Quiet Coffee Chat Need someone to talk to or pray with?

It's Worldview Wednesday, so let's talk about Anthropology—what it means to be human. We're going to compare and contrast biblical Christianity with atheism in five key areas: (1) The superiority of humanity(2) The inferiority of humanity(3) The moral status of humanity(4) Humanity's objective nature(5) Humanity's subjective self-perceptionWe'll see why the two views aren't just contradictory to each other, but how Christianity is coherent and atheist anthropology (view of humanity) ends up defeating itself.=================Men, get real accountability and knowledge to help you become the worldview leader your family and church need.

AM Sermon

If I was to list the many ways in which today's cultural narrative is misdirecting and misshaping our kids, the topic of identity would have to be at the top of the list. This is especially troubling when we realize that the search to figure out who I am is front and center in our kids lives as they grow through adolescence. Our friend Mike McGarry has written a book to help teenagers know and live out the beautiful reality of finding one's identity as a divine image bearer. Stay tuned as I chat with Mike about leading kids to the truth about who they are, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

This Sunday, we stepped into a powerful moment in Scripture—where worship, motives, conflict, and God's mercy collide. In Genesis 4, Cain and Abel bring their offerings to God… and one is accepted while the other is rejected. Why? And what does that say about the posture of our own hearts today? If God examined your heart behind your worship this week—what would He find?At New Promise Church, you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Matthew 5:27-30 - In His second case study, Jesus explores the connection between the call to faithfulness to the one-flesh marriage covenant and the little looks and thoughts that reduce our brothers and sisters to sexual objects. In Jesus's kingdom, His disciples will fight to dignify one another as the divine image bearers that we are--and they'll live in light of the radical stakes that Jesus introduces here. All of this without shame, but in the loving light of the forgiving, merciful grace of our savior. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 6 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"] Questions for reflection: 1) What parallels did you notice in the stories Cameron shared about women's response to Jesus in the 2nd century and British journalist Louise Perry's response to Jesus over the last few years? 2) Why are Christians sometimes accused of being anti-sex? How would you answer that charge? 3) Talk about "covenant commitment" as the center of the biblical sexual ethic. 4) Jesus affirms the Old Testament's prohibition of adultery, but then He reveals its deeper heart. Why is Jesus concerned with what people do even with their eyes and minds? 5) How is this teaching good news for women, in particular? 6) What are some radical measures you could take to step into this fight in light of verses 29-30?

Send us a textIn this episode, Rev. Chad Bowen joins us to unpack a big question from one of our church kids: “How are we made in God's image when we can't see God?” Together, we explore what it means to “image” God in the world—not by what we look like, but by how we live. From creativity and innovation to stewardship and community, we discover the many ways God's character is reflected through us as we care, create, and connect with one another.ABOUT CHAD: Rev. Chad Bowen serves as pastor of First United Methodist Church in West Point, Mississippi, and is a graduate of Millsaps College and Duke Divinity School. He and his wife Katie live in West Point with their two young children.Thanks for listening to the Embodied Holiness Podcast.

What about if the most profound power that you will ever walk in already resides within you, awaiting only your recognition? What if your confidence, your access, and your influence hinge upon the cognitive grasp of a singular verity, which is the essence of your authentic identity?You are His masterpiece. You are His embodiment upon this Earth; His reflection, His expression, His authority manifest through your very life and existence. Shaped in His likeness, imbued with His nature, you are vested with the wherewithal to fulfil God's will and counsel in the world. You are the Imago Dei.It is insufficient to bear the title Imago Dei without the consciousness of it. When identity is obscured, the world reflects that uncertainty.Yet, when we awaken to our divine nature, as said in 2 Peter 1:3–4, creation resonates in kind. Opportunities beckon. World systems align. Your original purpose recognises you and shifts to embrace all that you carry as God's agency on Earth.

IMAGO DEI: LIVING IN YOUR TRUE IDENTITY AS THE IMAGE OF GOD

We are not God. We are not little gods, but we were created to be like God in character and lifestyle. Our lives should reflect the glory of God to others. When we do this, we are healthy and whole. The Bible describes this as holiness.Main Points:1. Our sin has distorted the image of God within us, and now we can't see ourselves as God sees us. We ascribe to labels the world places on us. We struggle with discovering our true identity.2. It is essential that you hear this message way down deep in your soul. Regardless of the circumstances of your conception, you were created by God. You were created for a purpose. Your life has meaning and value.3. To live the life God created and designed you to live, you must embrace the truth that you were created in the image of God. Your life is not an accident, a mistake, or an afterthought. Your life is important, and you are here today because of the will of God. Today's Scripture Verses:Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”  So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”Psalm 139:13-14 - “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

In this episode of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Innovative Church Leaders podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Eric Bryant⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ interviews ⁠ Dr. Lucy Peppiatt, the President of Westminster Theological Centre in Bristol, England. Lucy discusses ministry in a post-Christian context, the importance of training the next generation of pastors, and the role of theology in effective ministry. She emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of God's love and the importance of empowering women in the church. .

Questions about how to reconcile the image of God as a judge with his love, grace, and kindness, why our sins are considered to be sins against God, and whether the idea that our debt was paid by Christ means we escape the penalty for our sins by right, not grace.   For most of my life, God has been portrayed to me primarily as a judge—watching closely, ready to point out where I fall short. But I'm learning there's more to him than that. How do I begin to reconcile that image with the reality of his love, grace, and kindness? If I commit a sin against someone but then make amends and ask for forgiveness, how is it that I've also sinned against God, and why would God still need to punish me? If Christ was literally punished for our sins and our debt was paid, then how can it be said we are “forgiven”? Wouldn't we escape the penalty by right, not grace?

“God created man in His image: in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Thus reads verse 27 of the first chapter of Genesis, one of the most important lines ever written in history. The Hebrew phrase rendered as “in God's image” is b'tselem Elohim, and that is the title of a new book that traces the extraordinary career of this concept, known in Latin as imago Dei, throughout the course of Western civilization. Written by Tomer Persico, a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, the book is the biography of the idea that all human beings—not just kings or heroes—are created in the image and likeness of God. At the heart of the book is a deep irony: the religious idea of imago Dei contains within it the seeds of secularization; this religious innovation developed into a concept that would marginalize religion itself. The very emphasis on individual conscience and human equality that Judaism and Christianity cultivated eventually led to further questioning of law, and then authority, and then even the disciplines of religious life. That is, over the course of millennia, one of God's pronouncements led some to question God's providence and even God's existence. Now, if you're listening as an orthodox believer or theological traditionalist, you may be tempted to object: surely modern secularism represents a betrayal of the biblical depiction of the human condition, not an outgrowth of it, and there is much truth to that position. But Persico's argument is directed primarily at the committed liberal democrat who believes deeply in individual rights, human dignity, and equality, but who may not realize where these convictions come from. To that person, Persico seems to be arguing: even you, especially you, are an inheritor of a biblical idea. Your deepest moral commitments didn't spring from nowhere. They have a genealogy that begins in Genesis. On today's podcast Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver sits down with Persico to discuss what all this implies.

What does attachment theory have to do with discipleship, theology, or the church? According to Dr. Geoff Holsclaw, more than we realize. In this episode, Holsclaw—a pastor, theologian, and co-author of Landscapes of the Soul—joins Dru Johnson to explore how neuroscience and interpersonal attachment can illuminate both human development and the biblical story. From early childhood bonds to the way we experience God's presence, he explains how secure and insecure attachments shape how we relate to others, ourselves, and the divine. The conversation dives into the four “attachment landscapes” (Jungle, Desert, War Zone, and Secure), and how trauma or neglect in childhood can subtly shape a lifetime of relational patterns—unless there is healing. But the episode offers real hope: not only is repair possible, but Scripture itself shows us the way. Holsclaw connects attachment theory to key biblical moments—from God's face in the Psalms to Jesus' sending of the disciples. This is not a self-help take on neuroscience. It's a theologically rich exploration of embodied faith, community healing, and how God repairs the ruptures in our lives.

We enter a new chapter examining the dignity of the human person, and Article 1 shows us that we have dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God. We preserve that dignity when we exercise virtue and charity, and we do violence to it when we commit sin and evil acts. Fr. Mike hones in on the bold statement that we as humans are “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1699-1715.
