#279 - Apostles and Prophets Together?
Prompted by a question from missionaries in Madagascar, Lynn Green unpacks Ephesians 2:20's claim that the church is built "on the foundation of the apostles and prophets" — and why we rarely see the two gifts operating on the same team. He defines how YWAM uses the terms apostle and prophet, walks through examples (including Loren Cunningham's "tripod message" and a story of Marti's own call to Jamaica), and argues both gifts matter most not by being co-located, but by staying accountable within mature, peer-led teams of elders.
