Scripture has a unique call for us as women, and T2D is how we at HCTW respond in obedience to this call:

“But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine… 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.

Titus 2:1, 3-5 

This is life-on-life, relational discipleship.T2D partners decide what tool or resource they will use to guide their discussions and time together. It may be a book of the Bible, one of the resources recommended by the Hope Women’s ministry, or an option of their own choosing.

Discipleship time takes whatever form the T2D partners prayerfully discern is best for their circumstances. Although some T2D partners may also choose to spend time in each other’s space, cooking meals, caring for their children, or doing errands together, the most important part is that T2D partners are spending quality time in prayer together, and deliberately opening God’s Word so that discipleship is solidly rooted in Scripture.

Each T2D partnership decides for themselves how often they wish to meet together, and for how long. We recommend choosing a frequency that is as often as possible, where both parties can very comfortably commit. Once a month for two hours is a great starting point! We highly suggest prioritizing consistency over frequency. 

Here are the steps to get involved in T2D:

1. LISTEN to this audio recording to get up to speed on how we think about and approach Titus 2 Discipleship here at Hope Women. 
2. PRAY for the Lord to direct your steps as you seek a discipleship partner.
3. FILL OUT the T2D intake form so that we can track with you as you seek a match, and support you in getting connected.
4. PREPARE for discipleship by considering your capacity and making a short list of sisters you will approach.
5. ACT on your conviction; ask a sister to walk with you for the next year. Let us know about your new partnership at women@hopechurchtw.ca so that we can pray for you, provide any needed resource, and check in regularly.
