You don’t need children in your home—or even any children of your own—to walk in the beautiful calling of spiritual motherhood.
Some of the women who’ve shaped my life the most never raised kids themselves, and others impactful women were in a new season of life with grown children and empty nests.
But all of them had one thing in common: they were intentional about nurturing hearts with truth, encouragement, and godly wisdom.
If your season looks different now—maybe your kids are grown and gone, or maybe motherhood wasn’t part of your story—please hear this: your role in the Kingdom has not ended.
It may have shifted, but it’s no less powerful or purposeful.
Titus 2:3–5 paints a picture of spiritual motherhood: older women teaching younger women how to live godly lives.
This isn’t just about age—it’s about spiritual maturity.
If you’ve walked with Jesus for a while, you have something valuable to offer. Your testimony, your experiences, your lessons learned through faith—all of it can be used by God to strengthen the next generation of women.
And here’s why this matters so much:
We're living in a time when younger women are desperate for truth, but drowning in noise.
They’re bombarded with the world’s opinions on marriage, motherhood, identity, and purpose.
No one is teaching them how to seek and study God's Word for HIS TRUTH on marriage, motherhood, identity, and purpose.
God is raising up women like you—women rooted in His Word—to help guide them back to what’s true.
Being a Titus 2 woman isn’t just a sweet idea—it’s a Kingdom assignment.
It’s a way we participate in God’s plan for discipleship, mentorship, and generational impact. If we don’t step in and speak truth, who will?
So what does it actually look like to walk in this calling?
💕 Maybe it’s mentoring a younger wife who’s struggling to balance life and marriage.
💕 Maybe it’s offering to babysit for a weary mom so she can take a breath.
💕 Maybe it’s starting a Bible study in your living room, texting Scripture to a teen girl you’re investing in, or simply being present and available for someone who needs wisdom.
💕 Don’t underestimate how powerful your steady, Christ-centered presence can be.
Here are a few practical ways to embrace spiritual motherhood in this season:
- Offer to disciple a younger woman one-on-one
- Volunteer in the children’s or youth ministry at your church
- Host a Bible study for wives in your home or community
- Reach out to a young mom with a meal, prayer, or a listening ear
- Consistently check in on a young wife or college-aged woman
Proverbs 31:26 says,
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.”
That can be you. Whether you’re in an empty nest season or have never had children of your own, you still have spiritual fruit to bear.
Don’t let the enemy convince you that your time of influence is over.
God sees your heart, your wisdom, your faithfulness—and He is still using you in mighty, meaningful, and eternal ways.
