Brant sits down with Marty Solomon, creator of the BEMA Podcast about his new book The Gospel of Being Human, The talk about identity, shame, and what the gospel is actually trying to heal.

Quotes:

"When the story starts with my sinfulness, the whole story becomes about the removal of sin instead of the restoration of shalom."

"If my fundamental identity is belovedness, then I'm free…free to make mistakes, free to stop protecting myself."

"Shame is what happens when guilt becomes my identity."

"The gospel starts with good news, moves through bad news, and ends with good news again — but we often forget how it starts."

"Adam and Eve isn't just a story about what happened back then. It's a story about why we sin today." . . . See Marty's books here. Check out Marty's website here. Want more of the Oddcast? Check out our website! Watch our YouTube videos here. Connect with us on Facebook!
