Three Important June Conversations

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:42:14 +0000

June presents several opportunities for Christians to reflect on how the doctrine of the imago Dei—the belief that every person is created in God's image—shapes our understanding of human dignity and ethics. In this episode of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Chris explores three important topics through that lens: the value of fathers and fatherhood, the biblical view of human sexuality, and the church's responsibility to model ethnic unity. Examine with us how these issues are connected to a Christian understanding of what it means to be made in the image of God.
