Risking Leadership: Training Timothy for Today's Church

Leadership is no simple task. To lead in a godly way involves a considerable amount of risk.

Paul understood this truth when the Holy Spirit inspired him to write his first letter to his disciple, Timothy. By studying Timothy's ministry (as recorded in Acts) and the instruction he received from Paul, we have much to learn about discipleship and ministry leadership.

Risking Leadership is designed as a self-guided study and/or a group study, taking the reader step-by-step through the entire letter of 1 Timothy, with special emphasis given to application to today's life and ministry leadership. It begins with a brief biography of Timothy, based upon Acts and other biblical texts that describe him.

This study is essential for effectiveness in the way you follow and serve Jesus Christ.

"I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord.

He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church" (1 Corinthians 4:17 NIV).
