Episode 497: The Gospel of Being Human: An interview with Marty Solomon

Greg Bryan and Jim Reske interview Marty Solomon on his latest book, called The Gospel of Being Human.In the book, Marty Solomon and Reed Dent invite readers to rethink their assumptions and explore the following:• What Does It Mean to Be Human?: Misunderstanding ourselves leads to misunderstanding God. Reclaiming our identity in his image reshapes how we see ourselves, God, and others.• Deconstruction Without Losing Your Faith: Experiencing doubt through deconstruction and reconstruction can lead to a deeper relationship with God.• Breaking Free from Shame: When we define ourselves only by sin, we live under fear and unworthiness. The Bible offers a better story, where we are loved, redeemed, and invited to live in freedom and purpose.• Beyond Us vs. Them: In a divided world, the gospel reminds us that every person is both broken and beloved. God’s mercy bridges the divisions we’ve created and calls us to radical reconciliation.• When the World Feels Too Broken to Fix: When it feels easiest to give up, the gospel reminds us that God is still transforming the world through us.You can preorder the book today on Amazon or NavPress.
