    Episode 523: Titus 1 Part 2 Liars, Evil Beasts, and Lazy Gluttons
    Jan 16 2026
    No, we are not talking about your ex in this podcast! Paul is writing to Titus who has been left behind to establish some leadership in the church at Crete. The people of Crete are known as deceitful and not very well liked by their own. Interesting fact, the Greek god, Zeus, was born on the island of Crete and hidden in a cave there. He starts off by establishing his authority as an apostle and what his intentions of writing is, “To establish truth to help them live righteous and grow in their faith.” It’s a similar message in his letters to Timothy. The word in the Greek Paul uses is epignosis and it means a precise and exact truth. It’s exactly what the disciples in Crete need in order to know they are not being deceived by Paul.

  • Episode 521: 2 Timothy 4 Part 4 Paul’s Final Words To Timothy

    Episode 521: 2 Timothy 4 Part 4 Paul’s Final Words To Timothy
    Jan 9 2026
    This is the last epistle Paul would write and he has encouraged Timothy to take the baton and keep going. He has warned him of the challenges he faces and he has exhorted him to continue even in the face of persecution. He gives some final thoughts and gives some greetings to some coworkers including Priscilla and Aquila. These two people started the church at Ephesus which is where Timothy is when he receives this letter. But as he closes his letter, Paul has one request for Timothy...he tells him to get there before Winter. Why? Because he had just told him to bring his coat that he had left behind with Carpus at Troas. The man needs his coat because it will be cold soon! Paul is ready to go and he sees death as a ride into eternity to be with his Savior.

  • Episode 520: 2 Timothy 4 Part 3 Poured Out Drink Offering

    Episode 520: 2 Timothy 4 Part 3 Poured Out Drink Offering
    Jan 6 2026
    Paul tells Timothy his life has been poured out as an offering to God. What is he talking about? In the Old Testament, Jacob made an offering to God and with it, he poured out a drink with his offering. In Exodus, God commanded the priests to offer a drink offering along with the sacrifices that they make in the morning and the evening. Jesus was partaking the Passover with his disciples when he tells them, “This is the blood of the new covenant that is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive many people of their sins.” Paul gave everything to Jesus and to spread the gospel. He knew his life was coming to an end and he tells Timothy, “It’s your turn...give it all you got!”
