On today's program, we learn from the example of three women from Paul's epistles, Phoebe, Eunice, and Lois. Phoebe, the great servant and helper described in Romans 16, meant the world to Paul. Eunice and Lois, Timothy's mother and grandmother, offer models of how to train up a child in the ways of the Lord.

One key verse is critically important for all of us in today's study. It is Paul speaking of Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:5, "when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also." Eunice and Lois modeled a faith that wasn't fake, a faith that was genuine, without hypocrisy, a faith that was willing to admit error, a faith we would do well to model.
