In this keynote from TGC’s 2009 National Conference, Philip Ryken opens 2 Timothy to remind pastors that faithful ministry flows from the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. With encouragement from Paul’s example and the courage of Onesiphorus, Ryken calls ministers to hold fast to sound doctrine, endure criticism, and entrust the gospel to others. He urges weary pastors to find strength in Christ’s resurrection and assurance in God’s unwavering faithfulness—even when their own faith feels weak.
