Sound Doctrine For Every Stage of Life

📘 Titus Bible Study Guide (follow along with the series)

🎙 Verse by Verse with Nate — Episode 7Titus 2:1–10Sound doctrine isn't just theology — it's a way of life that shapes every generation.

Paul opens chapter 2 with two words that change everything: "But you." After a difficult first chapter — false teachers, empty talkers, defiled consciences — he pivots sharply and gives Titus a vision. Not what the church is against, but what it's for.

In this episode, we step into that vision: an intergenerational community where every stage of life has both something to receive and something to give.

In this episode we explore:

• What Paul calls older men to model — and why it matters to the people watching them
• The role of older women as mentors (and what the Greek word sophronizō actually means)
• Why younger men get just one charge — and how Titus himself is the answer
• The word "adorn" — and what it means for ordinary faithfulness to make the gospel beautiful

A passage for every stage of life. A vision of the church being the church.

3. How does your ordinary daily behavior — at work, at home — attract or detract from the gospel to the people watching?
