What does it actually mean to be made in the image of God? In this episode of Thinking Christian's Prepped Series, Dr. James Spencer dives deep into one of the Bible’s most profound claims about humanity. Exploring five major views—the substantive, functional, relational, filial, and Christological—James traces how each contributes to our understanding of human worth, purpose, and calling. But he doesn’t stop with theology. He challenges how modern culture often weaponizes the “image of God” language, embracing its benefits while ignoring its demands. This episode offers a robust, multi-faceted take on the Imago Dei—and it will reshape how you think about human dignity, personal responsibility, and discipleship in a world eager to affirm identity without submitting to the One who defines it.
