This week, Laura takes us through 2 Timothy 3:1-9, where Paul describes 28 specific sins. This weighty list arrests our attention and serves as a warning about sin that is able to destroy both our hearts and our Church. We are all burdened with sin, but there is good news: Jesus has already carried all sin for all time to the cross. Paul calls Timothy and us to look outward and be wary of false teachers, look inward and repent of our own sin, and look upward to remember that we know the one who carried our sin. We can be free of shame because of Jesus.

Laura Swain longs to live in a world where every woman lives free of shame in her identity as a daughter of God. She’s a wife, children’s lit enthusiast, and homeschool mom of four. It’s hard for her to choose just one favorite scripture, but she loves Isaiah 52:6, when Yahweh says: “Therefore my people will know my name; therefore they will know on that day that I am he who says: Here I am.”
