from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth

When God makes humanity, the pattern changes. Not “let there be” but “let us make.” A deliberation. A conversation. And the result is a creature made in God’s image—*tselem*, a representative, a statue set up in his world. This episode explores what it means to bear that image: identity that isn’t earned, dignity that can’t be lost, purpose that comes from representing the one who made you. You are not defined by your output. You are part of what made creation “very good.” Want to go deeper in Genesis?
