And we don't always know why he's asking us to do what he's asking us to do.

I always think about David.

You know, here he's this mighty warrior, and he's this captain, and he's leading people into battle, and, you know, God's given the Philistines into his hands.

And yet, you know, when Saul had an evil spirit, he's also just in the king's room plucking on a harp.

And, and I, I just wonder if that felt a little bit demeaning to him.

And I think, um, in a technical sense, originally referred to the, uh, you know, the first 12 apostles when they laid the foundations of doctrine and things like that.

I think now maybe people apply it to missionaries, church planters, and things like that.

Um, can broadly mean that, but the technical office of apostle I think is restricted to that foundational group-

so this would be-

Right.
