Identity: Gift or Project? | Adam Burton

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently deciding a landmark Title IX case that hinges on a simple question: Does the word "sex" refer to biological reality or gender identity? During oral arguments, even leading legal experts struggled to define what a "man" or a "woman" actually is.

In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton opens Genesis 1:26-31 to uncover the true source of our identity. We discover that we are not "breakdancers" performing solo, but partners invited into a "waltz." Learn why your body is a gift, not a canvas, and how to treat yourself like a gardener rather than a sculptor.

📖 Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31
