Holding the Rope for Others (3 John)

About this episode

Share a comment

In this episode, we dive into 3 John, exploring the life of Gaius, a man who faithfully supported missionaries, despite opposition from Diotrephes, a self-centered church leader. Through Gaius' example, we learn the importance of being a rope-holder—supporting those who carry the gospel to new places. We'll also look at the dangers of selfish leadership that can disrupt a church's mission. This episode calls us to examine how we support missionaries and serve alongside those spreading the good news. Join us as we unpack the lessons of generosity, selflessness, and the critical role of supporting God's global mission.
