1 Timothy: A Strong Man Is Courageous: A 30-Day Devotional
By Vince Miller
()
About this ebook
This in-depth 30-day devotional and Bible study helps men grow more courageous in their role as spiritual leaders in their families, workplaces, and churches as they listen to the apostle Paul mentor his protégé Timothy. Timothy was known for being timid, but Paul—one of the greatest church leaders of the first century— spoke the truth into this young man, giving him courage to be a leader.
In 1 Timothy: A Strong Man Is Courageous, Vince Miller explains how Timothy lived in the metropolis of Ephesus, where Paul had planted a church years before. This church had fallen into doctrinal and organizational disrepair, and now Paul wanted Timothy to get the church back on track.
Every devotion in 1 Timothy includes a reflection from Vince drawn from Paul’s words, insights from other biblical books, and ideas for applying Paul’s advice to your own situation. As Vince will show you, God uses mentoring relationships for His glory on our journey to becoming spiritual leaders and learners.

About Vince Miller
Vince Miller was born in Vallejo, California, and grew up on the West Coast. At twenty, he made a profession of faith while in college and felt a strong, sudden call to work in full-time ministry. After college and graduate school, he invested two decades working with notable ministries like Young Life and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, as well as in the local church and in senior interim roles. He currently lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his wife, Christina, and their three teenage children.
In March 2014, he founded Resolute out of his passion for discipleship and leadership development of men. This passion was born out of his personal need for growth. Vince turned everywhere to find a man who would mentor, disciple, and develop him throughout his spiritual life. He often received one of two answers from well-meaning Christian leaders: either they did not know what to do in a mentoring relationship or they simply did not have the time to do it.
Vince soon learned that he was not alone. Many Christian men were seeking this type of mentoring relationship. Therefore, he felt compelled to build an organization that would focus on two things: ensuring that men who want to be discipled have the opportunity and giving them real tools with which to disciple other men.
Vince is known as an authentic and transparent leader who loves to communicate with men and who has a deep passion for God’s Word. He has authored several books, and he is the primary creator of all Resolute content and training materials.
