Ep. 315: Older women caring for younger women

Titus 2 gives one of the clearest, most countercultural pictures of how a healthy church actually works—and this episode unpacks it with refreshing honesty. Brian Croft and Jim Savastio explore how older and younger believers, especially women, are called to walk together in real, relational discipleship. They address hard questions about singleness, working outside the home, and the often-overlooked ministry of older women. Pastors will be challenged to truly shepherd the women in their congregations, and every listener will see afresh how the gospel fuels intergenerational mentoring that helps whole churches flourish.
