About this episode

The episode discusses how to grow stronger through discipline, submission, and the grace of Jesus Christ, using metaphors of a soldier, athlete, and farmer from 2 Timothy 2:1-7.

The world breaks everyone, but not everyone comes out stronger. In 2 Timothy 2:1-7, Paul gives Timothy three pictures of strength: a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer. What they share is the willingness to embrace two things: resistance and rest. Growing stronger is not accidental. It requires discipline, submission, and patience, and it is made possible only through the grace of Jesus Christ. Scott Nickell • I've Got a Word for You • 2 Timothy 2:1-7 CONNECT WITH US!
