Hi,
I would like some clarification on spiritual parenthood. Whilst I understand the need for discipleship I don’t understand the idolisation of spiritual parents. We are currently seeing churches take that and run in a way that that the head pastor (aka prophet) is consider “THE” father for entire congregation. Where is the line drawn between mentor and pseudo high preist? Isn’t the role of the shepard to serve not be served?! Especially in this age of false prophets and the lot. Would appreciate sincere feedback.
