We’re continuing our Essentials of the Faith series with teacher and author Elizabeth Woodson! In this episode, Elizabeth W. joins Angie and Elizabeth H. to talk about what it means to be made in the image of God. You’ll hear about how image bearing is tied to reflection and relationship, and how sin distorts that design but grace restores it. This conversation unpacks why all people are image bearers, why sin matters, and how the gospel gives us the power and hope to live differently.

Today, we're joined by Bible teacher and author Kelly Minter to explore a foundational element of our faith: the attributes of God and how they are revealed through His works. As part of our ongoing Essentials of the Faith series, this conversation centers on how knowing God rightly shapes everything else we believe.

One highlight of the conversation includes a powerful discussion on lament as an act of worship. Far from being a contradiction, lament reveals the perfect goodness of God because we can acknowledge the evil of sin because we've seen what true goodness is.
