As believers, living out your faith means you’ll come up against resistance. It will be hard. There will be those who do not agree and even ridicule you for it. In our scripture passage today, Paul is challenging Timothy in much the same way, telling him to expect trouble, prepare, man up and get ready to take a punch. It's about the confidence of moving forward in Christ. Let's listen and grow!
