9 Practical Ways to be a Titus 2 Woman
Titus 2:3–5 paints a beautiful, multi-generational picture of what it means to be a Titus 2 woman—encouraging one another in faith and in the everyday moments of life.
“Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
If you’ve ever read this and thought, That sounds wonderful, but what does it look like today? — you’re not alone.
In our busy, disconnected world, being a Titus 2 woman doesn’t have to mean hosting perfect Bible studies in perfect homes.
It’s about living intentionally, walking with Jesus, and looking for everyday ways to build up the women around you — whether you’re mentoring a younger woman or learning from a wiser woman with more life experience.
Here are 9 practical, real-life ways you can start living out the Titus 2 calling today.
1. Bring a New Mother a Meal (or Set Up a Meal Train for Her)
The early days of motherhood are a whirlwind — joyful, exhausting, and overwhelming all at once. A Titus 2 woman sees a need of a sister in Christ and meets it in love. Bringing a meal to a new mom doesn’t just feed her body; it also reminds her she’s not alone in this new chapter.
If cooking isn’t your gift, order takeout from her favorite restaurant and have it delivered to her door. A grocery store gift card is also a thoughtful way to meet this need.
If you’re part of her church or small group, set up a meal train and share it with other women so she has a steady stream of dinners for the first few weeks.
Providing a warm, homecooked meal does wonders for recovering, sleep deprived, mamas.
Pro tip: Include a note with a Bible verse and a little encouragement, because sometimes spiritual nourishment is just as important as physical food.
2. Serve in the Children’s Ministry at Church
One of the most practical ways to help younger women thrive in their faith is by giving them the opportunity to sit in worship, attend a Bible study, or participate in a church event.
Serving in the nursery or children’s ministry might not seem glamorous, but it’s a direct investment in both the next generation and the mothers who are raising them.
A Titus 2 Christian woman understands that behind-the-scenes service is kingdom work.
Even volunteering once a month can make a huge difference for a young mom who rarely gets uninterrupted time to worship or learn.
3. Gather Easy-to-Make Recipes and Gift Them to a New Bride
Marriage is a beautiful new season — but it can also feel overwhelming, especially for women who are managing a household for the first time.
A simple, thoughtful gift is to gather easy, family-friendly recipes (bonus points if they’re budget-friendly) into a pretty binder or recipe box and gift it to a new bride.
This isn’t just about food — it’s about passing down the joy of hospitality, nourishing your family, and creating a warm home. It’s a way of saying, I’ve walked this road, and here are a few tools that helped me along the way.
You could also include tips for meal planning, grocery shopping on a budget, or hosting friends for dinner — small but meaningful ways to equip her for caring for her husband and home.
4. Invite Younger Women into Your (Imperfect) Home
Hospitality doesn’t require a spotless kitchen or a Pinterest-worthy living room. In fact, some of the most memorable visits happen in imperfect spaces where the laughter is loud and dishes are still in the sink.
When you open your home — even for something simple like coffee, dessert, or a casual lunch — you’re modeling a heart of welcome over perfection. You’re showing that ministry happens in everyday moments, not just special occasions.
A Titus 2 woman knows that relationships grow in real life, and that means letting people see the unpolished parts, too.
5. Co-Teach Sunday School, Bible Study, or a Small Group with a Younger Woman
Discipleship is often best learned by doing. Inviting a younger woman to co-teach with you — whether in Sunday school, a small group, or a women’s Bible study — is a way to mentor her in real time.
You can walk her through lesson prep, talk through challenges, and encourage her as she steps into her gifting. Not only does this help her grow in confidence, but it also models what faithful teaching looks like from start to finish.
And honestly, you’ll learn from her, too. Intergenerational ministry is a mutual exchange of wisdom, energy, and perspective.
6. Host a Class to Teach a Lost Skill
So many practical skills used to be passed from one generation to the next — cooking from scratch, sewing on a button, ironing a dress shirt, balancing a budget, baking bread or pie.
Sadly, much of that generational knowledge is fading in our busy, convenience-driven culture.
Hosting a small class for younger women is a fun, hands-on way to be a Titus 2 woman. You could do it in your kitchen, at church, or even over Zoom.
Not only will they walk away with a new skill, but they’ll also get to spend time with you, hear your stories, and see how faith weaves into everyday life.
And don’t underestimate the spiritual impact — a lesson on baking bread could turn into a conversation about the Bread of Life.
7. Give Genuine Compliments and Encouragement
We live in a culture that loves criticism, comparison, and unrealistic standards — but a Christian woman called to be a Titus 2 Woman can stand out by being a voice of encouragement.
That might mean telling a young woman you love her dress, congratulating a mom who managed to get her whole crew to church on time, or telling a fellow woman in your Bible study something you genuinely admire about her character.
The key word here is genuine. Empty flattery doesn’t build people up — but sincere encouragement can spark hope and confidence in a woman.
8. Gift Practical Items for New Mothers or Brides
Sometimes the most helpful gifts aren’t the prettiest — they’re the most useful. For a new mother, that might be diapers, wipes, her favorite baby lotion, or a gift card for grocery delivery. For a new bride, it could be a quality casserole dish, a Bible study for newlyweds, or a cute but functional apron.
A Titus 2 woman thinks about what will actually serve someone’s needs in their real, everyday life — not just what looks nice on Instagram. This kind of thoughtfulness says, I see you, I understand this season, and I want to make it just a little bit easier for you.
A Titus 2 Woman is specifically called to care for her husband, children, and home. A sweet gift that encourages her to lean into that calling will be something she can reflect on each time she sees/uses the gift.
9. Listen to Encouragement for Yourself — Seek Out Virtual Mentors
Here’s something important: You can’t pour into others if your own cup is bone dry. When you want to be a Titus 2 woman, you must recognize that you still need to be taught, encouraged, and reminded of truth.
In addition to in-person mentorship, seek out virtual mentors through podcasts, YouTube Bible teachers, or Christian blogs. Surround yourself with voices that point you toward Christ, remind you of His faithfulness, and encourage you to persevere in your Titus 2 Woman calling.
When you’re spiritually refreshed, you’ll have so much more to give to the other women God has placed in your life.
The Heart of a Titus 2 Woman
At its core, wanting to be a Titus 2 Woman isn’t about your age, your title, or your season of life. It’s about your willingness to come alongside another woman and say, Let’s walk this road together.
You don’t need a perfect home, an advanced theology degree, or decades of experience. You just need a heart that’s open to God’s leading, eyes that are looking for ways to serve, and the courage to reach out.
Small acts — a meal, a conversation, an invitation — can have eternal ripple effects.
So today, ask yourself:
- Who in my life could use a word of encouragement?
- Is there a younger woman I could invite into my home this month?
- What skill, story, or truth has God given me that I could pass on?
Start there. Pray for God to open your eyes to opportunities. And then, take the first step.
You might be surprised at how simple it can be to live out the Titus 2 calling in your own neighborhood, church, or kitchen.
