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.
