In a world as confusing as Crete was 2,000 years ago, what does it take to build a church that thrives? In this episode, Stephen Davey looks at Paul’s instructions to Titus—a mission to establish spiritual leadership on the Island of Crete, a place filled with strange religious beliefs, rampant deception, and broken lives. The Cretans needed something different: not more gods and more empty rituals, but true hope and leadership rooted in Jesus Christ. Stephen challenges us to consider what it means to be biblically faithful leaders today, even when the culture wants to erase distinctions, roles, and the call to godliness. The message Titus received is just as necessary for us now as it was then: the church needs men willing to step up, to lead, to be shepherds and guides, even if it’s counter to what society wants. Join us as we explore the kind of spiritual leadership that God desires and that the world desperately needs. You’ll be challenged, inspired, and perhaps even a bit uncomfortable—but that’s exactly where growth happens.
