What this episode covers

In this episode, Noah Wagner and Seth Pippin study 2 Timothy 2:14–19, where Paul urges Timothy to avoid petty disputes and instead “rightly handle the word of truth.” They unpack the tiers of doctrine—primary (salvation essentials), second-tier (denominational practices), and tertiary (friendly debates)—and explain their “good cup of coffee” approach to charitable conversations on non-salvific issues. The hosts warn against false teaching, comparing its spread to gangrene, highlighting the example of Hymenaeus and Philetus who led some astray. Yet the passage closes with assurance: God’s firm foundation stands secure—He knows His own, and His people are called to holiness.
