I do not think I was quite aware of how much good, actionable insight the first chapter of 1 Timothy (CSB) contained. Passage after passage is succinct, but infinitely applicable to all types of ministry, personal or otherwise.
The two epistles to Timothy are books I spent more time with when I was actively preparing for ministry as a teacher, but perhaps they are two books I should spend more time with in order to gain some perspective on what it means to be a leader within the church as well.
