In this week’s episode, Mickey wraps up 2 Corinthians and begins 1 Timothy, highlighting the life adjustments that come with our new identity in Christ and the Kingdom way of living we’re called to.

He then reflects on Paul's challenge to the Church in Corinth to "Examine their lives in order to see if their faith was genuine."

Mickey then reveals the heart behind the challenge, transformation motivated by love, quoting Paul's words to Timothy, "The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, clear conscience, and genuine faith."

Finally, Mickey closes with a challenge to us: examine your life with the Holy Spirit's help. What needs to change so you can mature, and live a life that fully honors Jesus?

We hope this episode encourages you as you engage with this week’s readings.
