Episode 2.43

Building a Faithful Church

What if Paul wrote you a personal letter for how to live, lead, and finish well?

In this episode, Zach and Michael unpack the Pastoral Epistles — 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus — as Paul’s final, Spirit-inspired words to guide the church. Written to two young pastors in tough environments, these letters lay out what it means to guard sound doctrine, appoint godly leaders, and endure in gospel ministry.

Covered in this episode:

– Background on Timothy, Titus, and their cities

– Major themes: sound doctrine, leadership, and endurance

– Snapshots of each letter’s structure and purpose

– The “Faithful Sayings” and the Christological hymn

– Relevance for today: why leadership and doctrine still matter

Whether leading a church or living as a faithful Christian, the Pastoral Epistles are a roadmap for staying grounded in truth and finishing the race well.
