Emily & Bethany equip you to live thoughtfully as a Christian by discussing & teaching various theological topics. We believe every Christian is called to be a theologian because theology isn't just knowing about God, but knowing His heart.

No Graven Images: the Real Problem with the Golden Calf (Image of God Pt. 1)
•
Season 4
•
Episode 111
We’re kicking off season 4 of the podcast with a 3-part series on the image of God. In this episode, we explain why pagan kings and rulers were feared and worshipped by their citizens & courts, why Israel’s golden calf wasn’t as simple as trying to just replace Yahweh, and why humanity’s sin against God hasn’t only been that we view ourselves as more than God created us to be, but also less than He created us to be.
