Lynn explains how the Corinthians’ fascination with elite leaders, worldly wisdom, and personal freedom clashes with the shame and power of the cross. She also highlights Paul’s warnings about divisions in the church, misguided ideas of “servant leadership,” sexual immorality, and lawsuits among believers, all rooted in a distorted view of spiritual freedom.
