In a world marked by confusion, compromise, and fear, Christians are called to stand firm in the truth of the Gospel and live with bold, unashamed faith. In the opening of 2 Timothy, Paul encourages Timothy—and us—not to let fear keep us out of the fight, but to build on the foundation of faith we've received. God has given us everything we need for this task: the right people in our lives, the responsibility to grow, and the power of His Spirit to stand strong.
