Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 1:1-5, where we begin with a story of deep friendship, joy, and generations of faith. Paul then charges Timothy to give himself to a life well-lived, as he follows Paul's example. That said, Paul's definition of a life well-lived flies directly in the face of what culture might expect. Paul's life included difficulty, prison, beatings, rejection, and much lack of physical things - but it was soaked in the gospel, the grace of Jesus, and passion for Jesus and his ways to be made known to all. We are faced with the question: are we pursuing a life a life well-lived according to the Bible's standard, or our culture's?
