113: Trillia Newbell | Celebrate God's Creativity

Trillia Newbell joins me to discuss her book geared toward elementary aged students, Creative God, Colorful Us. We discuss laying a foundation for the image of God in man, the image of Adam in man, and the diversity of the family of God. Questions Trillia and I Discuss: (3:31) Share with our listeners a bit of your faith journey.  When did you come to know Jesus? (5:52) You have been writing about diversity for years, but your approach is not from a political point of view, but as it relates to the church.  Share a bit of why diversity is a topic we must discuss in the church. (7:38) Your writing is multi-generational and as a mom of 3 young children I am grateful for that.  Your newest book Creative God. Colorful Us. is written with the elementary age child in mind.  How do you break down for elementary age kids the idea that they are made in the image of God?  (11:54) What impact does being made in the image of Adam have on our relationships? continued Quotes to Remember from Celebrating God's Creativity: "God is creating a people of every tribe, tongue, nation, in His image, everyone, every person, whether they know Jesus or not, bears the image of God." "Over and over again, in the Scriptures, you see God calling people to Himself, from every tribe, tongue and nation." "We are made in the image of God to reflect Him in His character. So these would be communicable attributes. He is kind, we can be kind, He is loving, we can be loving....I am helping people see that we have, by His grace and kindness, the ability to reflect Him, but not only the ability, we bear that witness whether we even know it or not, that any good thing is really from the Lord."
