The Image of God: Reckoning with Margins and Liberation | Christina Foster Crawford’s Testimony

Do you see the image of God in the people we’ve pushed to the margins—and how might God use you today to embody Christ’s love?

Christina Foster Crawford shares the story behind a First Nations Inukshuk necklace from an NGO addressing gender, sexuality, and human trafficking, describing the Inukshuk’s stacked boulders as a picture of mutual support, “weightiness” (glory), and generational legacy. Drawing on Joseph, Esther, and others who led people from bondage to freedom, the talk connects past foundations to supporting the next generation toward ending exploitation. The Inukshuk is also described as a woman and a cross, evoking Canada’s Highway of Tears and the violence tied to lust, greed, power, and empire. Human trafficking is framed as intertwined with migration, poverty, consumerism, laws, economics, and church discipleship, calling viewers to recognize Imago Dei and resurrection hope.
