What's It About?

Titus is Paul's playbook for building healthy churches from scratch. He left on the island of — a place with a rough reputation — to organize the new churches there. The letter covers appointing solid leaders, shutting down false teachers, and one of the most beautiful passages in the Bible: 'The grace of God has appeared, bringing for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness' (2:11-12). It's short but punches way above its weight.
