A Leader to Develop (The Book of Titus)
Bible Passages on Succession: Post 8 of 9
Summary: Read Titus from the perspective of Paul equipping his successor in Crete. Perhaps he feels a sense of urgency because he knows his time on earth is short. Or, Paul is modeling what it means to prioritize the development of younger leaders. Regardless of his motivation, you can sense how important it was to encourage Titus in his leadership. The same could be said of Paul’s relationship with Timothy.
Key Insights: Developing the character and competency of leaders is biblical, smart, and essential for ministry to continue beyond your tenure.
