The Bible is rich with timeless wisdom, and few relationships capture the heart of godly leadership quite like that of Paul and Timothy. As a seasoned apostle, Paul took Timothy under his wing—not just to pass on knowledge, but to shape a leader anchored in identity, character, and purpose. In a world constantly shifting its definition of leadership, Paul’s letters to Timothy offer us a clear, countercultural blueprint: one rooted not in power or popularity, but in integrity, service, and spiritual formation. Whether you’re a student, educator, or parent, these 10 lessons serve as a powerful reminder that leadership begins with who you are before it ever touches what you do.
