Episode notes
Body and Soul Unity
- Humans are a unity of body and soul, not just one or the other.
- This challenges the ancient idea of the body as a trap for the soul, and the modern idea of being in the "wrong body".
God's Will and Your Existence
- God wills each person into existence, whole and entire.
- Even if conception occurred in brokenness, God brings forth good, including your existence.
God's Love and Your Existence
- God loves everyone, but your existence is not a given.
- God wills you to exist specifically so he can love you and share his life.
