What Mothers Teach Us

In this Mother’s Day message examining 2 Timothy 1:5 and Acts 16, Pastor Byron honors Timothy’s mother Eunice and grandmother Lois for passing on authentic faith to Timothy, who despite being naturally shy and timid became Paul’s beloved spiritual son and ministry partner. He identifies three lessons Timothy learned from these godly women: transparent tenderness (unconditional love that sees potential), unhypocritical authentic faith (genuine walk matching their talk), and firm conviction (unshakable beliefs transforming knowledge into action)—challenging mothers and grandmothers not to let hard times make them hard, not to let expectations compromise their authenticity, and not to let peer pressure change their biblical convictions.
