This document outlines a lesson plan about mentoring with a mission. The objectives are for students to realize mentoring is a command, understand the qualifications for mentoring, and apply mentoring principles to their lives and ministry. It discusses going back in time to when students were kids to think about influential people in their lives. It then examines Titus 2:3-5 about older women teaching what is good and training young women. Mentoring is described as helping the next generation combat lies of the world. The qualifications for mentoring are spiritual maturity, life experiences, and a growing relationship with Christ. The lesson gives opportunities for students to practice mentoring through case studies and reflect on how they can mentor others.

Quadrant 2: Imagining and Informing: Explaining the Concepts 15 min
Countless women today long to be nurtured. They want the love and acceptance of a
mother or a mother-substitute. They want to feel the warmth and security of an older
woman’s approval. And Countless women of faith throughout the world today are the
embodiment of these and other virtues that equip them to nurture younger women. But
they don’t know how to do it.
Spiritual Mothering 18
Titus 2:3-5 (have someone read)
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much
wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their
husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and
submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled
In context-Have someone read Titus 1:10-11,16

3. “Of all the ways Paul could have commanded the women to combat the decadence of
culture, he told them to invest their energies in training the younger women to live
Christianly in their society.”
“The Combination of spiritual maturity and life experiences qualify a woman to nurture a
younger woman.”
“If you area Christian who is seeking to grow in the faith and to live obediently, then you
are qualified for spiritual mothering.”
