Text-Driven Women

What do Paul's words to the Thessalonians have to do with spiritual mothering and our discipleship relationships among women?

We're continuing to dive into the sixth characteristic of a Text-Driven Woman--A Woman's Legacy--and evaluating if we are building sandcastles or for eternity.

Notable Quotes:

When you look at your everyday life, are you making time in an attempt to build a legacy of spiritual mothering? Are you unsure of what this looks like when you do gather with another woman? Spiritual mothering is an aspect of living with an eternal perspective focusing on the three eternal things: God, His Word, and people’s souls. Therefore, when you gather you should be cultivating six things.

Questions:

Who has been a spiritual mother in your life? 

Who can you be a spiritual mother to?

Spiritual Mothering: The Titus 2 Model for Mentoring Women by Susan Hunt

Are you building sand castles or building for eternity? The legacy of a text-driven woman is a woman who has her eyes fixed on Jesus–looking to make disciples, invest in the next generation, and teach young girls and women to know God and make Him known. Simply put: to invest and build something that will last.

A text-driven woman believes that both male and famale are created to complement one another.

More to Consider:

What understandings or ideas (presuppositions or experiences) do you bring when you read the Bible?

When you hear the word “distinctiveness,” what comes to your mind? Is it consistent with what God says about the equal value of women within the distinct roles He designed?

Since these distinctions were created to reflect the gospel in the world (Eph. 5:22-33), what are the implications of living out of synch with this design?

Sharing a meal is powerful. Opening your table is powerful. As text-driven women, let’s use them for God’s glory.

In 1999, Georg Andersen wrote a book titled “Silent Witness: The Language of Your Home.” In this book, Andersen proposed that every family should present and weave Christian testimony into their home, allowing it to speak volumes in sharing a powerful testimony. In taking the phrase originally coined by Andersen, what does it actually mean for your home to be a silent witness for Christ?
