We celebrate three years by discussing 1 Timothy with a fresh lens: Paul’s stated purpose that believers be formed in love from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. We look past rule-keeping to the character and unity that make the gospel believable.

• why 1 Timothy feels complex and layered
• context over proof-texting in hard passages
• women’s roles, men’s holiness, and integrity
• jewelry, posture, and the motives beneath behaviors
• widows’ care and wise application versus legalism
• Paul’s purpose: love as the lens for conduct
• division as a spiritual tactic and how unity resists it
• questions to test whether debates help faith
