In this section of the lecture "Navigating Toward Courageous, Gifted Service" Bruce Dick invites you to turn to 2 Timothy 1:3-7, where Paul begins with thanks and memories. His service and worship of God has allowed him to be reflective. He remembers Timothy in his prayers, he is reminded of his sincere faith and he asks him to use his gifts for God's kingdom-building work. In these uncertain times the church should stand firm and be light to a world that is increasingly going dark.
