Eternal Perspectives: Gender, Choice, and the Mystery of Living Beyond Time

Episode 6

In this episode of Love for the Unseen God, hosts Josh and Geoff revisit their recent appearance on J Brown’s Yoga Talks Podcast to explore a challenging question: Why do we gender God? They consider the historical, cultural, and ethical implications of predominantly male imagery for God in different tradition—especially for people who may have experienced harm in religious or secular contexts.

Their conversation expands to contrast Christianity’s representation of God with other traditions that include both male and female deities, raising questions about how cultural frameworks may shape our view of the divine.

Along the way, Josh and Geoff reflect on the significance of Jesus’ crucifixion, the mystery of living beyond time, and the importance of choice and struggle in authentic faith. Together they emphasize that God is not made in our image but that we are made in God's—and that rediscovering this truth invites humility, compassion, and a deeper encounter with the eternal.
