The secular world sees our identity as something that we achieve instead of receive. They take the brokenness of a fallen world and fashion it into identities in everything but Jesus Christ. So, how do we stand firm when the world pulls us to adopt these broken identities? How do we understand our natures in light of the God who carefully made us? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland break down what it means to live in Christ’s identity, not our own, and how we can firmly walk against the grain of our culture.
Since the beginning of creation, God has called us his. We are made in his image, given life from his breath, and called good. In today’s culture of the idolized self, it often seems like the world wants us to forget what it means to be made by God, replacing his glorious image with identities fashioned by human imagination. But what does it really look like to belong to God and how do we reconcile the voices of nature, culture, and Scripture? In this new White Horse Inn series, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland dive into the pressing question of what it means to be made in the image of God.
If God made both man and woman in his image as partners in the good work of filling up and caring for the earth, why does society seem to pit men and women against each other? Both in the church and in broader secular culture, men and women seem to be in competition rather than working in partnership. Could this be the reason why so many people are steeped with anxiety, gender confusion, or addiction? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland wrestle with the challenges of today’s culture, misconceptions within the church, and how to get back to the truth of God’s word.
The conversation of gender identity seems to have swept into every crevice of our culture. From debating gender “norms” to questioning the concept of biological gender completely, society has demanded to have a say in how men and women should understand themselves and the roles they play. But what are the ramifications of allowing the world to tell what we are to be instead of Scripture? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland untangle the narrative of creation as male and female and the importance of the differences we have been given by our Creator.
In the beginning, God spoke the world into existence. He made man and woman the crown of his creation, image-bearers of the Almighty God. Humans have a special place in God’s created order. But as we know, it didn’t take long for sin to enter the world, corrupting this image and changing our relationship to our Creator. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider our true nature as those created by God and why it’s important for us to understand our origin story.
