- 74: Titus 2 / Not Slanderers (2:3)
Today on the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're continuing our study on Titus 2. In this episode, we're walking through what it means to be a "slanderer" and also seven practical ways to root out slander.
DIGGING DEEPER GUIDE:
Read James 3:1-18. List all the ways the tongue is described.
Jesus included the sin of slander in the same list as murder, adultery, and sexual immorality (Matt. 15:19). Do you tend to be as concerned about the sin you commit with your tongue as you are about these other sins?
Much of what eventually becomes slander is “born and nourished” when our thoughts are unbridled, unrestrained, not under the control of Christ. How can Psalm 19:14 help you train your heart and mind against gossip and slander?
According to the lesson, what types of things are included in slander?
According to the lesson, what are some ways to root out slander in your own life or those you come in contact with?
What was one primary takeaway or lesson for you from this lesson?
How might our words and actions be different if our underlying desire was to fix our eyes on Jesus and be a woman under control?
Scripture mentioned in this lesson: Titus 2:3; Revelation 2:10; 1 Timothy 3:11; Ephesians 4:29, 4:31; Jeremiah 17:10; Proverbs 11:13, 16:28, 17:9, 18:8, 21:2, 25:18; James 4:11; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:8
Greek word mentioned: diabolos
22 min - 73: Titus 2 / Reverent in Behavior (2:3)
Today on the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're continuing our study on Titus 2. In this episode, we're walking through what it means to be "reverent in behavior" (Titus 2:3).
DIGGING DEEPER GUIDE:
How might a reverent spirit impact a woman’s behavior (at home, at work, how she spends her free time)?
What spiritual mature, older women do you know who exhibits “reverence’?
What are some ways that believers, women specifically, might misrepresent God’s character in the way we live?
Recognizing that every moment is sacred for the believer, how could this kind of thinking change the way we live each day?
Is there any attitude or behavior in your life that you wouldn't want people to see because it is not pleasing to the Lord? Something that does not reflect His character? How would an awareness of the presence of God make a difference in that area of your life?
What part can friendships and relationships play in our desire to live a reverent, holy life–both negatively and positively?
How are you doing with yielding control to the Lord, submission unto Him? Being “reverent in behavior” has a lot to do with the Lordship of Christ?
Define “reverent in behavior.”
20 min - 72: Titus 2 / Teach What is Good...Train (Titus 2:3-4)
Today on the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're continuing our study on Titus 2. In this episode, we're walking through what it means to "teach what is good" and to "train" women practically and how we're all teachers.
Digging Deeper Guide:
- What role does humility play in the discipleship relationship? A teachable spirit? The willingness to invest?
- Who are you learning from these days? Who are your teachers? What influences or voices are you allowing to speak into your life, shaping your heart and mind? You must have written down at least three women in your local church. If not, change that reality.
- Read Hebrews 5:12. What does this verse have to do with today’s lesson?
- For the next twelve weeks, we’re going to commit to memorizing our passage, Titus 2:1-5, 10. This will remind us of the curriculum we are to teach, when we gather.
- Are you modeling the beauty of an ordered life, living under the control and Lordship of Christ? Are then, bringing another woman alongside you, teaching what is good, and training them to live a life that honors and pleases the Lord?
- Call or text a woman in your local church this week. Make plans to run an errand together, grab coffee, etc. Start small: spend your time together getting to know one another, encourage one another, and exchange prayer requests with one another. Follow-up on those requests for the next four weeks.

How have you seen unhealthy doctrine or a lack of sound doctrine play out in the local church or in your life or others you know?

How has sound doctrine impacted the way you live?
What are some of the “contaminants” that women today may be taking into their hearts and minds? Where and how can we get pure, clean water for our souls?
What difference will Titus 2 women with “soft hearts, sharp minds, and backbones of steel” make in our world?
Fill in the blank: The Greek word translated “sound” (as in sound doctrine) is hugiaino. It’s the term from which we get our English word ____________.

What passage of Scripture teaches us that “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness”?
