season 06 | 04.04 | 2 timothy: don’t cheat yourself

We close our series on 2 Timothy by exploring the metaphor Paul masterfully uses in chapter four of a marathon race. He wants Timothy (and us) to take seriously the task of being people that struggle forward together and that carry each other's burdens. While spiritual junk food, division, politics, and comparison of sin all threaten to break our unity - Paul offers us a better way to run.

season 06 | 04.03 | 2 timothy: you can’t fake the fruit

Paul had warned Timothy in the past about false teachers that are more concerned with gaining influence, wealth, and other ungodly things. Here, he again brings these charlatans to Timothy's attention, while reminding him that the fruit of his life and ministry will be what sets him apart. Like the popular social media trend of "Is It Real or Cake?", we also are faced with the choice daily: will we exhibit the fruit of the spirit or be like so many that choose the fake pursuits?

season 06 | 04.02 | 2 timothy: join the ranks

We continue our exploration of 2 Timothy by looking at three metaphors Paul explains are crucial for endurance: the soldier, the athlete, and the farmer. With the help of Kindred's own Michael Euperio, we explore what being "a good soldier" really means and discover a wealth of spiritual principles and practical help for making it through desperate times.

season 06 | 04.01 |2 timothy: fan the flame

This week we dive into Paul's legacy letter to his prodigy and teammate in ministry, Timothy. He begins this final letter to Timothy with three powerful reminders to live by: remember who you are, don't waste your life, & watch your mouth. Upon this challenge, we explore what it looks like to embrace suffering for the sake of our character and the sake of others
