Paul, Timothy, and Podcasts

This sponsored post invites you to enjoy lively discussions with the most respected teachers from Westminster’s new MinistryNetwork.

Paul and Timothy enjoyed a special relationship. In 2 Timothy 1:4, Paul writes: “As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.”

Paul didn’t just teach Timothy. He embraced his young spiritual son with care, honesty, and vulnerability. Timothy knew what made Paul, Paul. That’s true mentorship—a gift that many people in ministry lack.

We look up to the Paul-like teachers of today. We listen to their talks, follow their ministries, and read their books. In our celebrity-driven culture, these teachers often appear perfect and untouchable. It’s easy to forget Spurgeon’s words: “Is it not a curious thing that whenever God means to make a man great, He always first breaks him in pieces?”

Timothy had the privilege of witnessing the real person behind Paul’s apostolic persona. What if people today had a similar opportunity with modern teachers?

That’s the aim of the Ministry Network Podcast. Every week, our guests share their experience and provide a small window into their journey in ministry. Each episode is packed with moving theology, practical counsel, and real-life stories about the joys and trials of life in the church.

    Invisible Grief

    There is no path through this life that does not involve at least some measure of grief. This world is so broken that at different times and in different ways, grief affects us all. Some grief flows from what we loved and lost but other grief flows from what has never been and may never…

    Tiptoeing to the Edge of Cliffs

    Not too long ago, there was a trend in which people would see how close they could come to being hit by a train without actually being hit by a train. That’s about as stupid a game as I can imagine. Play stupid games, win stupid games, as the kids say. But researching sin when…
