Mike and Tim delve into the true meaning of salvation, exploring how restoring our vocation as God's image bearers reframes our understanding of being saved. From Genesis to Jesus, they discuss how salvation is about more than just sin management—it's about embracing our true humanity and living out our calling in community.

Key Takeaways:

• Worship as a Way of Life – Understanding worship as the totality of human life rightly oriented toward God, not just religious activities.

• Image Bearing and Idolatry – How imaging something other than God leads to idolatry and brokenness, and the importance of restoring our vocation as God's image bearers.

• Jesus as the True Image Bearer – Discussing how Jesus perfectly embodied what it means to be human, restoring our humanity and vocation.

• Reframing Salvation – Moving beyond a focus on sin management to seeing salvation as the restoration of our true human vocation in Christ.
