What if the problem isn’t that you’re too human — but that you haven’t fully believed what it means to be human at all? We get so many mixed messages from religion and the world around us, but what does God say about humanity?
Dr. Baxter Kruger, theologian and author, has spent decades recovering a vision of the Gospel that most of us were never handed: one where your humanity is not a liability, but the very form the Son of God chose to wear forever.
You are not a mistake, a problem to be managed, or a soul barely tolerated by a reluctant God.
You are the object of the Father’s delight — known, named, and welcomed into the life of the Trinity before the foundation of the world.
Let that settle for a moment. You probably have never heard those words spoken in churches. But they are the heart of the Gospel.
The Gospel is not just about where you go when you die. It is about who you are right now — a fully human being, restored to relationship with the Father, Son, and Spirit, and set free to love, to laugh, to grieve, to create, and to be genuinely alive. In this conversation, Baxter Kruger shows us why that matters and what it changes.
