Perspectives Podcast, Season 2, Episode 18: Imago Dei – Age Differences
Jan 26, 2025
Summary
Join Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany as they continue the conversation of Imago Dei (“in the image of God”) – this time looking at age and using two prophets as examples: Amos and Jeremiah – one of the oldest and youngest prophets highlighted in the Bible. Through their digital Bible study, the two female pastors show how God uses people at all stages of life to make an impact – even when you don’t feel equipped with enough experience, social status, or believe you’ve aged out of relevance.

Through their digital Bible study, the two female pastors show how God uses people at all stages of life to make an impact – even when you don’t feel equipped with enough experience, social status, or believe you’ve aged out of relevance.
Representing different generational age groups, Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany demonstrate how we can set aside age differences to come together and find other commonalities.
Listen in for thoughts on:
- The importance of mentors and cross-generational conversations to fully see God’s vision, plan, and promise come into fruition
- Answering God’s call and trusting that our lives and work matters for God’s people.
- The need to deconstruct, let go, and leave the room for God to reconstruct us and through us.
