Episode 55: Confident Reliance

38 minutes

Make this Lent the most fruitful Lent ever. Join Lisa and Laura as they explore Passionate Discipleship, a nine-week Lenten Bible study series. In these powerful episodes, they'll unpack Paul's wisdom to his closest friend, Timothy, and reflect on how we can apply it to our lives today. As we grow in personal holiness, we will boldly step into our call as true disciples by reaching out to the next generation and passing on all that we’ve learned. Today, they discuss Lesson 2: Confident Reliance, and what it means to leave a legacy and why thinking about our death is essential to becoming true disciples of Christ. What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind? How do you want to be remembered? And why does it matter? Tune in and find out!
