Today, we're diving into the profound topic of living from the image of God and how the impressions we allow from people and situations can distort our true identity. We explore the idea that many of us carry images shaped by past experiences, whether they be traumatic or simply misleading, which can leave us feeling devalued. Using the playful metaphor of Silly Putty, we discuss how these impressions can stick to our hearts and influence our perceptions of self-worth. Together, we reflect on the importance of recognizing these false images and returning to the truth of who we are as image bearers of God. Join us as we unpack this journey of peeling away the misleading layers and embracing our true selves in Christ.
