To the Apostle Paul, the Thessalonian Christians were more than just another church: He regarded them as his spiritual children. As such, he explained how he and his team nurtured them like a mother with a nursing child. However, in a fatherly way, they also challenged them to grow in the Lord. Likewise, Christ calls us to invest in others with both tenderness and wisdom, guiding them toward a deeper faith. Please open your Bible to First Thessalonians chapter two, and listen as Dylan Ocorr explains what it means to “parent” the Gospel into someone’s life.
