Episode notes
Apostleship Is God-Given, Not Paycheck-Based
- Paul asserts his apostleship comes from God's appointment, not Corinthian support or pay.
- He sometimes forgoes his rights deliberately to remove obstacles to the gospel.
Becoming All Things To Reach People
- Paul becomes "all things to all people" by restricting freedoms to better reach others.
- This flexibility is disciplined humility, not license to abuse grace.

- God's past provision didn't prevent Israel's idolatry and moral failure.
- Paul warns that grumbling and testing God are forms of self-idolatry like sexual sin.
