Who is a mentor in your life? Who guides you through the ups and downs, helps you make decisions, is there when you have questions and doubts?

The apostle Paul knew the importance of this kind of discipleship. He mentored Timothy, a young pastor who was facing all sorts of challenges. He also pointed the way for Titus, a pastor who was shaping an early church. Paul's letters to these young leaders are packed with instruction, guidelines, principles, and encouragement. His practical words of wisdom are valuable keys to discipleship in any generation.

As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

Jesus Christ is the center of the gospel.
The faith held by the church should be manifested in the behavior of the church.
Church leaders are expected to live above reproach.
There is accountability among the church body.
