    Being Human

    What does it really mean to be human? In this episode of The Holy Trinity Institute Podcast, Malissa and David explore how Scripture’s story—creation, fall, redemption, and restoration—shapes our understanding of identity, dignity, and purpose. They reflect on how cultural narratives of autonomy contrast with the biblical vision of embodied image-bearers renewed in Christ, and consider how a gospel-centered view of humanity reshapes our relationships, work, and everyday discipleship. Inside this episode: What it means to be made in the image of God — embodied, dependent, and dignified How modern culture’s vision of the “self” differs from Scripture’s story of humanity Why sin distorts — but does not erase — our created worth How redemption in Christ restores our identity and reshapes daily life and vocation How a biblical vision of embodiment informs conversations around gender, sexuality, and human flourishing Resources mentioned in this episode: ⁠What God Has to Say about Our Bodies: How the Gospel Is Good News for Our Physical Selves by Sam Allberry Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/evening-kisses License code: ODESUSTTXDCE0SFF
