Image Bearers: Why You Were Made to Rule, Create & Reflect God
Why do you feel drawn to build, make, or create something bigger than yourself? Turns out that instinct isn't random — it's rooted in the opening chapters of Genesis.📖 Pre-order Jonny Ardavanis's new book Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God’s Good Gift here: https://a.co/d/04k0sFpoIn this episode, we continue our series exploring the biblical theology of work (pulled from Jonny's forthcoming book, "Get to Work") by digging into Genesis 1 and 2. We unpack what it means that humanity is made in God's image, what the Hebrew words "radah" (rule) and "kabash" (subdue) actually mean, and why God — who could have created a "finished" universe — instead invited us into the ongoing work of cultivating, building, and creating beauty.We also talk about Bezalel, the little-known craftsman in Exodus 31 who was the first person in Scripture described as "filled with the Spirit of God" — not for preaching, but for his artistry. Plus: why beauty isn't just decoration but a reflection of who God is, how "ordinary" work like folding laundry or fixing pipes can be done to the glory of God, and why your job (whatever it is) matters more than you think.📖 Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:1, 1:26-28, 2:2-9, Exodus 31, Psalm 145:16, Psalm 147:13✉️ Sign up for free weekly newsletter devotionals at www.dialinministries.org🙏 This episode is brought to you by The Master's University — committed to Jesus Christ and the authority and sufficiency of His Word.
