Gender Identity and the Gospel: Creation, Identity, and God's Design

Gender identity has become one of the defining issues of our cultural moment. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins examines what Scripture teaches about creation, identity, the human person, and the goodness of God's design. Drawing from Genesis 1–2, Psalm 139, 1 Corinthians 6, and other key passages, Dave explains why a biblical understanding of humanity begins with God's creation of mankind as male and female and why our identity ultimately finds its deepest meaning in relationship with Christ. This episode explores body-self dualism, expressive individualism, the unity of body and soul, and the cultural assumptions that shape modern gender ideology. Most importantly, it highlights how the gospel restores what sin has confused and provides lasting hope for those seeking identity, purpose, and meaning.
