Too often, Christian men and women have been told to find their identity and purpose in roles like husband or wife, or father and mother. These good roles are designed by God, and yet, they're not the starting place for human identity and purpose.  Ed Stetzer talks with Julia Higgins about your book Christ and His Bride: How Men and Women Tell the Story of the Gospel and how Genesis 1 points us to the idea that we are all created in the image of God and given the task of ruling over the earth in God's stead on Ed Stetzer Live.
