When your mentor is in chains and the gospel looks embarrassing, what do you do? In 2 Timothy 1:8–18, Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of “the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner,” but to suffer for the gospel by God’s power and to “guard the good deposit” of truth. This message explores how the risen Jesus abolishes death, flips honor and shame, and calls us to stand with costly, faithful believers.
