As Paul closes 2 Timothy, hes reminded of the people that are closest to him. Everyone needs a Paul, Barnabas, and a Timothy in their life: a leader (someone who will not accept mediocre in your life ), a peer (one who is a co-laborer), and a younger person in the Lord that you are discipling. If you dont have a leader and a peer, having the younger person in your life will not be effective. All three are necessary in a Christians walk. Everyone needs to think about who they have as their circle of friends. Friends, from a biblical context. are designed for our growth. (Part 3 of 3)
