As Paul wraps up his letter to Timothy, Paul gives him a charge. To flee from the sins that entraps so many pastors, the pursuit of money. And encourages him to instead pursue righteousness, godliness and the like. It isn’t enough for us to flee something…we also have to pursue something. Paul implores him to fight the good fight of faith. Keeping faith is a fight. Apparently Paul doesn’t believe...

On today's episode, Josh, Corey, and Kellan sit down and they discuss Glenn's Message that he gave this last Sunday on 1 Timothy 6:2-20. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen, as it will help this conversation make more sense to you. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

We have all heard the verse: “for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." However, most don’t know the context of that verse. It is found in the middle of a conversation about those who try to leverage gospel ministry for financial gain. Paul declares that it is godliness with contentment that we should be striving for.

Paul ends the book of 1 Timothy by giving instructions to those who are slaves. Slavery was a common part of life in the Roman Empire and Ephesus would have been no exception. What makes this text interesting is that there are no corresponding instructions to the masters in the church (at least in 1 Timothy). However, Paul does instruct a master in the church in a letter to Philemon.

On this episode, Josh, Joe, and I sit down to discuss last Sunday's message. We also dive into what we're doing for the 4th of July. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, I encourage you to pause here and give it a listen, as it will help make this conversation more sense to you.

The letter of 1 Timothy was written by the Apostle Paul to a young pastor named Timothy to help him understand how the church would operate. It makes perfect sense that Paul would address the expectations that come with being a pastor (also known as an elder, shepherd, and overseer). There are some benefits, such as being paid for your work: Paul makes it clear that the one who’s job is preaching...

On this episode, Josh, David, and Nate talk through Grant's message on the young widows and what the church is called to do for them. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen, as it will help make this conversation make more sense to you. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

In a world were the life expectancy at birth was 25-30 years, and making it to 40-50-60 was less than 30%, it isn’t surprising that Paul felt the need to address younger widows. It is like that there were many young woman who lost their husbands at a relatively young age. But, as we saw in the text last week, not all widows are equal. There are different expectations for widows depending on their...

Well, hey, and welcome to the Become Better podcast. My name is Nate, and I am so glad you are here. On today's episode, Josh David and I talk about the widows in the church and what we are called to do. We also answer a few questions. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

In our text, Paul reinforces the idea of church family by telling Timothy to treat those in the church as fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Paul then goes into great detail establishing the responsibility of the church in helping the widows among the people of God.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, Josh, Freddy, and Nate sit down and talk about last Sunday's message.

This text is challenging young believers to not let their youth be an excuse, but instead they are to be an example of what it looks like to follow Jesus. This text is also challenging those who are not young anymore to call out leadership in the young people around us.

Paul lays down an expectation for Timothy that applies to us all, we are to train ourselves to be Godly. What does training for Godliness look like? What specifically are we supposed to do?

Paul declares that lies from demons will not only be taught by hypocrites, but that people will abandon the faith and follow those deceiving spirits. Paul gives specific examples of some of the things that false teachers were teaching in the first century church in Ephesus. The question we need to ask ourselves is: what are false teachers teaching that would cause people to abandon the faith in th...

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate sit down and talk about how Joshua asked God to keep the sun still for a whole day, and also how much we love out-of-context scriptures. We also dive into last week's sermon and what Paul is encouraging Timothy with. We also talk about a series that we did a while ago, so if you would like to watch those...

So far, the purpose of Paul's letter to Timothy has been to teach people how they are supposed to act in the Church. This letter is like a practical ministry class for Timothy. Yet, right here in the middle of it, Paul gives us an early Christian hymn or creed. This is a declaration of the Gospel, and the mystery of godliness flows from it.

Welcome to Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate discuss the Cocodona 250 that happened while Josh was away. We then dive into last Sunday's message.

Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation...

Paul has made it clear that woman are not to be the authority figures in the church. So who is called to lead? The obvious answer is men, but can it be just any man? Absolutely not, there is a high expectation for those who would even be considered to lead the church.

In this text we will address one of the most controversial issues in the modern church: a woman’s role in the church. Paul explicitly says they must be silent. Is that really what it means? Does this expectation still apply today?
