The website
This is the whole front page, top to bottom, as a woman in Midland would find it. Every photograph is yours — the party and the retreat — except one still life of a Bible and notebook, which is a stand-in until you send me a real one. The words are yours — taken from your Titus 2 curriculum, your recording, and the women's films.
Does this feel like your ministry?
Scroll all the way down, then tell me the parts that feel right and the parts that don't. If something is wrong about the program itself, that matters most — I would rather fix a fact than a colour.
A photograph of you for the founder's note, and the real web address once it's registered. One picture on this page is still a stand-in — the open Bible.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Seven and a half months of older women walking with younger ones — praying, teaching, telling the truth, and refusing to let anybody do it alone.
Titus 2 is not a Bible study. It is a mentoring program.
It's built the way it always was in families — the way women once sat together shelling peas, talking, teaching each other about marriage, about God's character, about how to be godly. But so many women don't have their mom in town, or their mom doesn't believe. So where are they supposed to go?
So this is what it is instead: up to fifteen women and four or five mentors in a group, doing life together for a school year — encouraging each other to grow in the Lord and to get biblical principles into the ordinary parts of a week. You can ask any mentor for advice or for prayer, about anything.
Grace is the one doing the teaching.
"For the grace of God has appeared… training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age."
Most people quote the four verses about older women teaching younger ones and stop there. But Paul keeps going, and the reason he gives is this: grace itself is what trains us. That's why Titus 2 isn't a list of rules. It's a room full of women learning to live what they already believe — and being made, in his words, a people for his own possession.
We ask for three things — and the mentors make them too.
To God
A commitment to God to grow closer to Him — to press in to what He wants of you, what His character is, who He actually is.
To yourself
A commitment to yourself to learn and practice spiritual truths as you become more like Christ. You may never set aside seven and a half months again.
To the other women
A commitment to the group to build relationships, be transparent, support the other women, and help them grow closer to Christ.
Thirteen nights, and then the retreat.
Between the teaching nights there are bonus nights, a Christmas party, and one evening when the room prays a prophetic word over every woman in it.
God’s Word has ultimate authority
In every area of your life. The enemy’s primary weapon is his assault on your mind, so we keep asking one question: what does God say about it?
You must accept who you are in Christ
Who He says you are, regardless of your feelings, your old beliefs, or the accusations of hurtful people in your life. Learn to say about yourself only what God says about you.
Seek intimacy with the Father
Your Heavenly Father is not like your earthly father. He has loved you with an everlasting love, adopted you fully into His family, and paid the price for every failure you have ever known.
Honesty and transparency
Satan uses whatever is hidden against us. When those things are brought into the light, he has no more power over us.
- Relate to your group as your spiritual family.
- Grow in your personal spiritual disciplines.
- Make the thirteen classes and the Saturday retreat a priority.
- Honor everyone’s time by being prompt.
- Keep up with your homework.
- Be transparent.
- Keep everything shared in the group confidential.
- Share your thoughts, and give others room to share theirs.
- Be gentle and accepting of others.
- Watch WhatsApp for announcements and prayer requests — nothing before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless it’s an emergency.
Everyone tells her story.
The mentors go first — the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad. Then everyone else, six minutes each: two minutes on what your life was like before you met the Lord, two on the biggest change Jesus brought about, two on what is going on now.
Everyone has a story. Don't worry that yours is the worst — it isn't. It only feels that way to you. And if someone loves you without ever knowing your story, you will never truly feel loved.
By the end of that night, a bond that normally takes years is simply there.
Daughters of the King
One day in Midland. Speakers, catered meals, canvases, tiaras — all of it on purpose. A lot of tears, and a lot of laughter, because of what got built.
You leave knowing you are a daughter of the King, that you are not powerless, and that He gave you a purpose before you were born.
Mark it before anything else. Everything the nine months has been doing in you tends to finish on that one Saturday.
Hear it from the women who've been through it.
We had such an incredible group this year. Everybody was so close.
The more you put into it is what you’ll get out of it.
The first year of Titus really was an unraveling, an undoing for me.
God wants me to know that He does love me, and He does forgive me.
Her year, in her own words.
"I want to grow like I'm in an elevator straight to God's heart."
What they said afterward.
I felt like I was a splintered two-by-four — if you got close, you were going to get hurt. They really do make it a place that's safe.
Before Titus 2 I was challenged with my identity — a lot of condemnation and guilt. Now I know, and I believe Him when He tells me I've been His daughter all along.
There's something about having a go-to group that is just about Jesus. You know you are going to get support, you are going to get love and life and truth.
The comfort and the support that I got really changed my life. I'm able to accept God's word even when it doesn't look like it's going to be okay.
"I don't have friends. I have sisters."

"We're going to learn to believe that what He says He will do, He will do — and that who He says He is, He really is. That's the magic of Titus."
Susan has led Titus 2 for years under the covering of a local church. This year it steps out on its own. The curriculum is hers, refined with Tom Vermillion, who also teaches the Passover night.
We're going to search for Him together.
We believe this is a kairos moment for you — an appointed time, orchestrated by God, that does not always come around again.
