“These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.” Titus 2:4-5 (NLT)
Have you seen The Voice. It’s one of the number one shows in the country.
Each season they begin the show with blind auditions. The judges face the audience while the signers give it all they’ve got in hopes that at least judge will turn around and pick them to be on their team.
Each of the four judges builds a team and then begins mentoring the singers to help them in their journey to become the best singer they can possibly be.
The judges who are older and more experienced schedule some time to meet with the younger singers and…
- Give them helpful tips
- Teach them what they may not know
- Help them understand their strengths and weaknesses
- Make them aware of things they may not have known existed
- Are there for them when they need a listening ear or aren’t sure what to do
- Warn them of things they need to avoid
- Help them hurdle over the obstacles of fear, doubt and insecurity that may be hindering them from fully embracing their identity as a star.
Basically, they pour themselves into those who are now where they once were – the help them fulfill their potential.
Minus the judging and the competition, it sounds a bit like what we do at The MOM Initiative to me.
Mentoring. Titus 2 in real life! It’s what we are all about because it’s what God’s Word calls us to.
MENTORS who are older and more experienced schedule some time to meet with the younger women and…
- Give them helpful tips
- Teach them what they may not know
- Help them understand their strengths and weaknesses
- Make them aware of things they may not know existed
- Are there for them when they need a listening ear or aren’t sure what to do
- Warn them of things they need to avoid
- Help them hurdle over the obstacles of fear, doubt and insecurity that may be hindering them from fully embracing their identity as a mom.
Basically, they pour themselves into those who are now where they once were – the help them fulfill their potential and the mom God created them to be.
Okay, so The MOM Initiative and The VOICE are also very different… but they get the power of mentoring.
The CHURCH should get the POWER of MENTORING TOO!
Titus 2 ministries should be foundational to every women’s ministry because it is what the Lord has called us to do in order to not only leave a legacy of faith but to also reach women for Christ through the power of missional mentoring.
It’s what The MOM Initiative is all about. We minister to moms who know Christ and reach those who don’t… and we do it through mentoring moms in tailor-made MOM Groups across the world.
MOM Groups can be one-on-one, in a small group, or in a large group.
They can be in a home, at a park, at a coffee shop, in a low income apartment complex, at a crisis pregnancy center, in a juvenile shelter, on the mission field, or in a ob/gyn or pediatric doctor’s office.
MOM Groups can be organic in nature or very structured.
We help you tailor a mentoring ministry that works for you and make mentoring easy and missional!
It’s Titus 2 in real life – reaching the moms of this generation so we can reach the heart of the next generation.
* DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE A TITUS 2 MINISTRY?
* DO YOU HAVE MOM GROUPS IN YOUR CHURCH AND/OR COMMUNITY?
* HAVE YOU WANTED TO BEGIN A TITUS 2 MINISTRY BUT COULDN’T FIND ONE TO FIT YOUR NEEDS? YOUR VOLUNTEER BASE? YOUR SKILL SET? YOUR LOGISTICS?
The MOM Initiative can help you tailor a Titus 2 ministry in your church and help you leverage your current and potential community relationships to help you make mentoring missional and begin ministering to moms beyond the four walls of your church as well as within it.
If you’d like to know more, email me at info@themominitiative.com and schedule a personal conference call to discover how you can begin an new tailor-made Titus 2 ministry in your church or enhance the one you already have.

Oh…and by the way… if only 3 moms in 1/2 of the churches in the United States would mentor just 3 other moms, we could impact a million moms for Christ and ultimately reach 2.5 million children as a result!
So…Are you READY to JOIN the REVOLUTION? READY to TAKE TITUS 2 to the STREETS?
