Ken and Steve conclude their study of 2 Thessalonians, focusing on Paul's final chapter about Christian community and personal responsibility while working through protection from evil, idleness, and authentic discipleship.

• Paul asks for prayer that the gospel message would spread rapidly
• The Lord protects believers from the evil one through spiritual preservation, not necessarily physical protection
• Paul uses strong language about work ethic with his famous "if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat" statement
• Clear distinction between those unwilling to work versus those unable to work
• Busybodies who meddle in others' affairs rather than focusing on their own work are addressed
• Church discipline involves temporarily withdrawing association to encourage repentance
• Paul authenticates his letter with his own handwriting as a distinguishing mark
• The hosts debate what book of the Bible they'll study next
