When an earthquake shakes the foundations of your faith, where do you turn?

Hospitality is the gospel in miniature.

A godly leader cares more about being faithful than being successful. 

The church community is always faced with external pressures from the world, and internal pressures from the failings of her own people. That makes it tempting to follow angry leaders who promise certainty... but Paul invites us to follow gentle leaders, who promise Christ.

Nothing obscures Jesus more than abusive church leadership. When we think about leadership, we think about power, but Jesus thinks and leads with humility.

What if one of the reasons people leave the faith is because so many of God's people are just angry men and superficial women? What if this text, so harsh to modern ears, contains with it some of the biggest reasons for hope for both genders throughout history?

Faced with powerful enemies who would persecute her, the church of Jesus Christ has only one option: violent resistance. Just kidding! Pray for them. They will need it.

A totalitarian anti-Christian culture. A church compromised by conspiracy theories and self-righteousness. 1 Timothy is a book written for anyone losing faith, losing focus, or losing heart.

In a polarized world, everybody wants to team up and go to war with the Other. But Jesus teaches us that the biggest battle is with yourself.
