Paul and Timothy’s relationship is one that we need in our walk with Christ. We need someone who will fan the flames in our life and we need someone who we’re passing down the treasure of the kingdom to. Who holds you accountable? And how are you holding others accountable in their walks with Christ?…

We need jethros in our lives. We need people who speak hard truth to and we need to be people who speak hard truths into others lives. How do we do both?Oleh Kingwood United Methodist Church
