Mentoring and Discipleship Webinar

The principles of mentoring and discipleship are biblical mandates given to the church and specifically speak to women as seen in the Titus 2 model. Sadly, mentoring and discipleship relationships have seemed to become a lost practice in today’s churches. While the need is great, ministry wives and women in ministry have many competing priorities in their homes and churches. So how do women make the Titus 2 model a ministry priority?

Join this webinar moderated by the Ministry Wives Network Director Adrianna Anderson, as she hosts Dr. Leslie Ulmstattd from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Yvonne Hanson a ministry wife, Cynthia Walker a ministry leader, and Dana Young, a pastor’s wife and Field Advocate Director for the Ministry Wives Network. This webinar will cover the joys and challenges of mentoring and discipleship relationships and the need to address the biblical mandate of Scripture to be actively mentoring and discipling another woman.
