This podcast explores the biblical concept of humanity's role as God's imagers or representatives on Earth, drawing parallels between God's heavenly council and his plan for humans in the earthly realm. It explains that Eden wasn't just humanity's home but also God's "home office," where he conducted business, including creating humanity in "our image," suggesting we share characteristics with God and his council. Ultimately, humanity was tasked with being steward-kings over creation, extending God's rule across the globe, a destiny believers can still participate in as they work to restore Eden and represent God in all aspects of life.
