The Gospel of Being Human

Description

What If Being Human Isn t the Problem but the Point? Many Christians have been taught to see themselves as fundamentally broken with a human nature defined by sin, separated from God, and constantly striving to be worthy. They have been taught that being human is something to overcome that their deepest instincts, emotions, and desires are untrustworthy. But what if that s not the whole story? What if God is inviting us to see our humanity as, in fact, very good news? In The Gospel of Being Human, Marty Solomon (host of the BEMA podcast) and Reed Dent invite you on a journey of curiosity, attention, and wonder asking better questions about who we really are and what Scripture actually says about our identity. As you go to God s Word to explore ten common perspectives about sin, salvation, and our relationship with God, you ll discover a more expansive and hopeful vision of what it means to be created in His image. Explore ten common theological perspectives and examine how they shape our understanding of God, ourselves, and others. Learn how curiosity, attention, and wonder can transform your spiritual life and lead to a more vibrant relationship with God. Challenge the belief that humans are defined by sin and discover how Scripture reveals our fundamental goodness as image-bearers of God. Reframe the gospel not as an escape from our humanness, but as a reclamation of what God called very good and an invitation to partner with God in restoring the world. Engage with timely conversations on faith deconstruction and reconstruction while holding onto a biblical faith that is both authentic and deeply rooted in Scripture. If you ve ever felt like your faith was missing something or wondered whether God s good news is bigger than you ve been told The Gospel of Being Human offers an invitation to step into a fuller, richer understanding of who God has always intended you to be.
