What does it really mean to be made in God’s image?

Most churches toss around the phrase “image of God,” but few explain its shocking, ancient meaning. In Genesis, the word used is tselem — the same word for idol. Wait… are we God's idols?

In this video, we explore what it meant for ancient people to call someone the "image of God" — and why this truth radically flips our modern understanding of humanity, dignity, and power. It’s not about looking like God or just having a soul. It’s about being a living, breathing place where Heaven meets Earth.

When we truly grasp this, it changes how we see ourselves, each other, and every system around us. No more hierarchies. No more Pharaohs. Every human carries divine dignity and responsibility.

👉 In this first part of my series on the image of God, we’ll unpack:
