Here is what we can conclude from Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna: Jesus isn’t promising to pull you out of what you’re facing He’s promising to walk with you through it. To strengthen you in it. To give you a hope that even death can’t touch. So don’t quit. Don’t walk away. Don’t lose heart.

This is part two of our Becoming Better podcast. Jason, Josh, and Nate continue answering your questions. Thank you for joining us, and we hope you enjoy the rest of this episode.

We want to make sure that we cover all the questions so we are going to do this as a two part series. We hope you stick around and listen to both episodes. Well we hope you enjoy this conversation.

The Biblical account of the church of Ephesus ends with a letter Jesus wrote to this church in Revelation chapter 2. From this letter we can see that they took seriously the expectation to get rid of the false teachers. Jesus commends them for doing so. However, in their eagerness to dispel false teachers, it seems they forgot the greatest command of all, to love God and love people.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. On today's episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and we talk about Josh's New roommate, and we then dive into Sunday's message.

We look forward to talking about that on next week's bonus episode.

Paul ends with a flurry of personal instructions and greetings. This is a reminder to us that Paul was a real person, who lived in a real time in community with real people. Among the many names in this text we find people who have helped Paul along the way and those who have hurt him. What is the hard thing God has called you to do? If you only have God with you to do it, is that enough?

On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate sit down and talk about which famous person they would want to have in a film about themselves. They also talk about the movement that we are seeing in the US.

Having reminded Timothy of the great gift and value of the Word of God, Paul ends this final letter to Timothy with one final charge: Preach the word!

Well on this episode Jason, David, and I sit down and discuss sundays message. This is a longer episode so you may have to listen over a couple listens. We hope that you enjoy this conversation.

While the false teachers are deceiving and being deceived, Paul reminds Timothy that it doesn’t have to be the case for him. Timothy was discipled by Paul himself and had a front row seat to witness Paul's life and ministry up close, both the good and the bad. Timothy got to see God at work in spectacular ways.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. In this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate sit down and talk about Sunday's message. They answer some of your questions. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

In this teaching, we dive into Paul's sobering warning to Timothy about the rise of false teachers and the dangerous attitudes that will characterize people in the "last days." According to Paul, this era spans from Christ’s ascension to His eventual return—and we are living in it now. Paul doesn’t hold back. He gives a list of 19 specific actions and attitudes that will become more and more prevalent. These traits weren’t just for some distant future—they were already threatening the church in...

Well, Hey, and Welcome to Becoming Better Podcast. I am your host, Nate, and I am so glad that you are here. On this episode, Ken, Jason, and I sit down and discuss last Sunday's episode.

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Do you want to be useful to the Master? How are you growing as a disciple?

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and talk through Josh's message this last Sunday. If you missed this message, then I want you to stop here and give that a listen, as it will make this conversation make more sense.

Paul once again specifically addresses the dangers of quarreling in the church. We all know of people who just like to argue over things that do not promote the work of God, and apparently this was a significant issue in the church in Ephesus. Yet, while we may find it annoying, Paul declares it to be deadly. He says it spreads like gangrene, leads to ungodliness, to a departure of the truth, and destroys faith.

On this episode Josh and I sit down and we talk about the weather this morning and then we dive into the message from this last sunday. If you havent listened to it then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

This passage of scripture opens with the word “remember," and verse 14 commands Timothy to “keep reminding people of the these things.” What is it that we are to remember and remind people of? The Gospel: The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and all that we gain from it. It is so glorious that it is worth anything that it costs us…even suffering and death.

Being a Pastor like Timothy comes with wearing many hats. There are lots of things that he is called to do, and much of what Timothy is tasked with has application for all disciples of Jesus.
