Taking the Disciple approach to the Skeptic Disciple, we will explore the encouraging message sent from Paul to a young Timothy:

As a teen, whenever someone asked (usually a pastor) what our favorite bible verse was, I’d try to either sneak out or pray I wouldn’t be called on.

I hated being put on the spot. I didn’t have a verse to quote from memory. Truth is I never read the Bible. It seemed so odd to me. But, the expectation was there. You’re a good kid, so you must read the Bible, and you must have a favorite verse.

But, if you ask me now. I’ll tell you that I DO have a favorite verse. And, it comes from 2 timothy. Where it is believed that Paul is encouraging Timothy to lead, despite his youth.

2 Timothy 1:7 “for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.”
