Brice Schmidt - A Spirit of Power over Fear

Brice Schmidt works through 2 Timothy 1 at a gospel meeting themed "ancient solutions to modern problems," arguing that what keeps Timothy from fanning his gift into flame is not fear of Rome but fear of shame: of the gospel, of Paul's chains, of Jesus. Power, love and sound judgment are each read out of the chapter: power as giving up the safety that keeps you from climbing into your brother's pit, love as Onesiphorus searching Rome's cells, sound judgment as choosing suffering once you know what lies beyond death.
