Is how you view the covenant family today different from what you previously believed? Describe some different examples of imaging God and anti-imaging God (or taking on the image of the serpent). What does it look like for you to rightly image God today in the specific circumstances in which God has placed you? How does knowing Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus Christ himself are your covenant family affect how you view yourself?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Journey Women podcast.
0:07.0	Wherever you are on your journey to glorify God, we're so glad you're here.
0:12.0	On the Journey Women podcast, we'll come alongside you in the seasons and challenges of life to help you no one love God in His Word, find your hope in the gospel, and invest deeply in your local
0:22.1	church as you go out on mission for the glory of God. Today, we have the privilege of hearing
0:26.8	from Dr. Benjamin Glad, who compiled and edited one of my favorite new resources, connecting
0:33.2	scripture, a study Bible of biblical allusions and quotations on the New Testament. Dr. Glad
0:38.9	serves with the Gospel Coalition as Executive Director of the Carson Center for Theological Renewal,
0:45.2	and as you'll hear, he previously served for 12 years as professor of New Testament at Reform
0:50.3	Theological Seminary. Let me tell you, Dr. Glad is taking us all to seminary today in the
0:55.9	best of ways as we discuss the topic of the people of God and how it weaves its way through all
1:01.6	of Scripture. I can't wait to share this conversation with you all, but before we go there,
1:06.1	I want to say a big thank you to all of the Journeyomen donors who make conversations just like this one possible.
1:12.7	If you'd like to help us, you can learn more at journeywomen.org forward slash gift.
1:22.7	Well, Dr. Glad, welcome to the Journeywomen podcast.
1:26.6	Hey, thanks so much for having me. It's a lot of fun to be here.
1:29.5	I have to tell you that I first interfaced with your work just last fall with the publication of connecting
1:36.3	scripture, the Christian Standard Bible's New Testament here, where you have these biblical
1:41.7	illusions and quotations to Old Testament references embedded
1:45.5	within the New Testament. And my pastor, actually, he recommended that I put that on my Christmas
1:51.4	wish list. And so that is what happens. I have been going through this and I found it to be a
1:57.1	wonderful resource for teaching the Bible. We're studying the sermon on the Mount right now, and it's just been wonderfully helpful to me and to the women in our church as we are trying to faithfully, you know, exposit the scriptures, teach the scriptures to our women. We love connecting scripture. In fact, it was so popular, I noticed that for a long time it was sold out. It's almost back in stock though,. Is that correct? Almost. It was completely sold out just a matter of like two months or something.
2:21.7	Yeah, Lifeway didn't think it would sell out that soon, obviously. It'll be back in stock.
