The Renewed Image of God | Rob Laidlaw

In today’s episode, Dwight Habermehl is joined by Rob Laidlaw to talk about how we can be renewed in the image of God. They begin by reviewing how God created us with purpose and value, but how that image became broken when sin entered the world.

Rob shares how Jesus makes this restoration possible by dealing with both our wrong actions and our broken nature, and how God gives us new life through His Spirit. They also talk about what it looks like to live a Spirit-filled life—learning to trust God, surrender control, and allow Him to transform every part of our lives. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how broken things may feel, God is at work restoring us to who we were created to be—bringing real joy, peace, and purpose along the way.
