Titus 2 Relationships for Military Wives, Missionaries, & Frequent-Movers

Posted on December 22, 2016 by Jess Connell

This question recently came in: I was thinking about what you spoke about [in this podcast episode, called “Lean In & Learn from Other Women”] and the thing that stuck out most to me was how you learn most by living life with others. While I completely agree, I am stuck wondering HOW to make…

Christians, Cribs, & Co-Sleeping (Is it “Heartless” for a Baby to Sleep in a Separate Bed?)

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Jess Connell

Let me start out by saying this: I am pretty sure I have done it all. I’ve slept with a baby on my chest or in the crook of my arm– on the first night, in the hospital, in my bed at home after home births, and (accidentally) in a chair when I was trying to stay…

The Elusive Titus 2 Woman

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Jess Connell

Virtually everywhere we have lived, I’ve heard it– younger women lamenting the lack of wise women who can give them solid biblical teaching, & biblical encouragement. Titus 2 describes an older woman who is: reverent in behavior (appropriate, respectful, respectable, godly) not slanderers (gossipy) not slaves to too much wine (drunks) able to train/teach younger…

Christian Woman, Are You a Wise Teacher Yet?

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Jess Connell

  Do you remember this rebuke in Hebrews? “Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.” (Heb 5:12)  Can you imagine hearing this? I’m afraid too many churches… and too many women in our churches……

Where Are the Titus 2 Women?

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Jess Connell

  “Older women are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good, so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children, to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their husbands, so that God’s message…

What Does Titus 2 Mean For Me?

Posted on May 13, 2015 by Jess Connell

Virtually all Christian women have read Titus 2. But practically speaking, what does it look like? What does it mean for you and me? Last month, we attended a home education conference with keynotes by Dr. Voddie Baucham. During the pastor’s luncheon, he took a few moments to address the “Titus 2 woman.” I want to share some…

Is THIS The Reason You’re Spiritually Stuck?

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Jess Connell

Are you spiritually “stuck?” Feeling like you have questions but no answers? Stagnant in life but unsure how to start growing again?  I was 16 years old when it began. I was a coming-out-of-rebellion teen; she was a young mom (in her 20s) with 3 little ones. In free moments of my busy high school life,…

The Opposite of the Titus 2 Woman

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Jess Connell

In 2011, I took my first biblical counseling class, and one session focused on the “Anti-Psalm.” The goal was to better understand what a text is saying by carefully thinking through the exact opposite meaning. It can be insightful to see the “opposite” of a text, and gives an excellent way to clarify the actual meaning. I previously did this with Proverbs 31. Let’s…
