That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him. en-us episodic We at GRINDIT want to encourage people to keep going, to keep grinding, when life gets hard. Quitting is not an option!

They have many issues and Paul tells them to welcome Timothy as they would welcome himself and to not intimidate him. But despite being a young man who seems to be shy, Timothy is brave and confronts the congregation about their sin and tries to correct their sinful behavior.

He went to Thessalonica, he met with the believers there, and he came back to Corinth and reported to Paul about what he discovered from his visit. As a follower of Jesus, can we have fear? Absolutely...but, it’s what we do with that fear. Do we let that fear hold us back from being obedient?
