  1. Why does Paul send Timothy to the Corinthians?

  2. Why did Paul call himself a spiritual father?

  3. What is the difference between a teacher and a spiritual parent?

  4. Is every believer called to be a spiritual parent, or just church leaders?

HEART: These questions help us wrestle with what we believe.
