"You Are Gods" - Episode 1 in the new series, "Identity and Idolatry"

We begin our new series with a reminder of the thread weaving throughout the podcast this year: What are the forces that divide human beings and their communities? And where does the possibility of overcoming that division live? In many ways, our sense of identity is at the core of what divides us. In this first conversation, Jonah and Patrick explore the nature of identity formation and begin to develop a biblical picture of the true identity of the human self. What makes human beings human - our ego - is itself an identity power, a power to identify. But what is it we choose to identify with and why? The moment our motive is LOVE, then we are dwelling in God and God in us. Is it possible that we find the truest version of ourselves in devoted communion with God? These are the themes of our series “Identity and Idolatry.”
