Last week, I mentioned we’d look closer at what that passing on looks like—how we’re not just called to follow Jesus, but to lead others to follow Him too.
I think most of us believe that. We want to live for God. We want to make an impact. But sometimes the word “discipleship” feels big and intimidating—like it belongs to pastors or Bible teachers or people who never lose their patience.
But here’s the truth: you’re already leading someone.
By how you live.
By how you respond.
By the way you speak to your children or your husband.
By how you show up (or don’t) in your daily life.
Whether you mean to or not, you are showing someone what it looks like to walk with Jesus.
The question isn’t if you’re influencing.
The question is how.
Titus 2 paints a picture of that kind of influence—not from a stage, but from a kitchen table. Not with a microphone, but with a life.
Older women teaching younger. Not in a formal classroom, but through faithfulness. Through friendship. Through being willing to say, “I’ve been where you are… let me walk with you.”
“That they may teach the young women…”
—Titus 2:4 (NKJV)
This isn’t about age. It’s about seasons.
If you’ve walked with God longer than someone else—you have something to offer.
If you’ve come through something hard—you have something to share.
If you’ve seen His faithfulness—you have a testimony that someone needs to hear.
Priscilla did that. She didn’t preach from a pulpit, but she and her husband Aquila took aside a passionate young preacher named Apollos, and helped him understand “the way of God more accurately.” (Acts 18:26)
She didn’t shame him. She didn’t outshine him. She equipped him.
And because of her quiet courage and spiritual clarity, Apollos became a powerful voice in the early church.
Then there’s Lois and Eunice—Timothy’s grandmother and mother.
We don’t know their titles or how well they taught a crowd, but we know this: they lived out sincere faith at home. And it left a mark on Timothy that would shape his calling.
Paul saw it and said,
“I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice…”
—2 Timothy 1:5 (NKJV)
This world is starving for that kind of legacy.
There are women all around us drowning in self-help, half-truths, and exhaustion.
They don’t need someone perfect. They need someone real.
Someone who’s been changed by grace.
Someone who knows how to listen.
Someone who will speak life, not just slogans.
That someone could be you.
You don’t have to know everything. You just have to be willing.
To make time. To stay connected to Jesus.
To lead, not by controlling, but by pointing—again and again—to the One who saves, who heals, who restores.
It doesn’t have to be flashy. It just has to be faithful.
Paul understood this when he said,
“Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”
—1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV)
That’s the call. Not to be followed for our sake, but to be living invitations toward Jesus.
And maybe you’re not just the one called to teach.
Maybe you’re the one needing a mentor, a guide, a spiritual big sister.
Ask God to bring her into your life.
He still connects hearts. He still builds spiritual families.
Because this is how the kingdom grows.
One woman investing in another.
One generation passing on the truth to the next.
Jesus never said, “Come, and keep it to yourself.”
He said, “Follow Me… and I will make you fishers of men.”
This is what passing it on looks like.
