Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. Titus 2:15, 10

The Titus 2 model of older women living out the gospel and training younger women to do the same is vital. Its how we all thrive, how we are adorned with the beauty of Christ, and how we live out the gospel together. This small group study guide has been designed to help you cultivate a Titus 2 lifestyle in company with other women.

These intentional, grace-infused relationships are indispensable if we want to experience the growth, community, and influence God designed us to have in the church and the world. Ideally, invite a mix of older and younger women to participate in this study. This is a great way to start cross-generational conversations and develop meaningful, fruitful relationships between women who might not otherwise connect with each other. Here are some suggestions for using this guide with a friend or a group of women.
