Do you know that verse that says we need to share one another's burdens? Here's Nancy Lingren with a visual.

I just picture a big old fishing pool and together we're hanging onto the fishing pool and we're

putting all those burdens on the end of that hook and together we're casting him out on Jesus

and it makes it so much lighter for both of us.

Welcome to the Reviver Hearts podcast for July 31st, 2023. I'm Dana Gresh, and our host is the

author of Adorned, Nancy DeMoss Walgamer.

Have you ever wished that you could get some wise advice from an older woman that you could trust on some tough questions you're facing?

I think all of us wish we could have that kind of wisdom.

But in our day of shallow connections, it can be tough to find those kinds of relationships. Here at Revive Our Hearts, we encourage you to be intentional about your

relationships and to look to passages like Titus Chapter 2 as a model for older women teaching younger

women. Let me read verses 3 through 5 of Titus chapter 2. The Apostle Paul says that older women teaching younger women. Let me read verses 3 through 5 of Titus chapter 2. The Apostle Paul

says that older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

They're to teach what is good and so train the young women to love their husbands and children

to be self-controlled, pure, working at home,

kind, and submissive to their own husbands that the Word of God may not be reviled.

It's interesting that the Titus passage says the older women shall teach the younger women.

So it's really not an option for us.

That's Betty Heisinga, founder of a

discipleship program you may have heard of called Apples of Gold. I think it's a sad thing when

women get to be a certain age and feel like they don't have a purpose in the church anymore,

or maybe they think they've done it all. And God's saying, no, your life experiences are really important

and valuable. Even our mistakes are valuable, aren't they, as we teach them to others?
