After Paul mentions Timothy in his letter, he also mentions another friend and example, Epaphroditus.

This letter from Paul to a specific church includes a very detailed update about a mutual friend. Does it surprise you to read such a personal update in these verses? What do you notice in Paul’s words about Epaphroditus?

What do you want to pray about as you consider some of the people in your life and journey with Jesus who are dear to you?

Practice: Who is someone you are not related to, but you view as a spiritual brother or sister? Reach out to them with a note to let them know that you are grateful for their friendship and encouragement.
