The Apostle Paul's Teaching on Effective Discipleship

Learn how Paul used the powerful images of athletes, soldier, and farmers, to give inspiration, guidance and instruction we can put into practice in our daily lives.

2 Timothy 2:1-8 in verse 7 Paul tells Timothy to take what he has written and reflect upon it, calling upon, or expecting God the to give insight. That is our goal today: to take these images of effective disciples and reflect on the qualities that bring about success in these worldly endeavors and consider how these might be helpful for us to apply to our personal quest to put on the mind of Christ and attain the better resurrection.
