Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1-9

Homework: Ask for help. As Jean Vanier-- founder of L'Arche communities-- says, "Life comes from the recognition that I can't do it on my own." This week, live into that, and reach out to others for support. Practice asking for help.

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1

Homework: What gifts has God given you personally? Are you using those gifts? How you can you be more mindful about using those gifts? Consider what you can do to move that along - pray for clarity, discuss it with a close friend, give something a try that you've been thinking about, etc. What fires you up? What gifts feed that fire? Follow your fire!

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:17-25

Homework: Confession reimagined. This week, we step into the practice of being in relationship with others by seeking out confession. The confession practice is this: identify who God is calling you to be, and ask someone close to you to hold you accountable to that vision. It is a challenge, but it is also a life-giving, vision-making endeavor. Through all of that, know that God loves you no matter what.

Have a great week!

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:1-16

Homework: Three times throughout the day, express gratitude to someone in your family. Try this practice throughout the week ahead.
