Finding Our Purpose and Identity in Christ
Too often, Christian men and women have been told to find their identity and purpose in roles like husband or wife, or father and mother. These good roles are designed by God, and yet, such roles are not the starting place for human identity and purpose. Ed Stetzer talks with Julia Higgins about her book, Christ and His Bride: How Men and Women Tell the Story of the Gospel and how Genesis 1:26-28 tells us man and woman were created in the image of God and given a divine mandate—a regency mandate—to rule over the earth in God’s stead on Ed Stetzer Live.
