## Resource

In this episode of the Alabaster Jar Podcast, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Josephine Stringer begin part 3 of their 5-part series on the book of 1 Corinthians by exploring 1 Corinthians, un 7-10, showing that Paul’s vision of freedom in Christ is not for personal autonomy but for loving service within community. They highlight Paul’s radically countercultural teaching on mutuality in marriage and his affirmation of singleness as a faithful vocation, especially for women. Dr. Cohick also unpacks the complex issue of food sacrificed to idols, explaining how knowledge without love can damage weaker believers and compromise Christian witness.
