Roots and Fruits is the women's ministry of Fireside that focuses on planting roots in the Scriptures. In numerous places the New Testament addresses women in the church specifically as women, calling them to live as godly women and (in Titus 2) to teach this godliness to one another. In Titus 2, Paul instructs Titus to lead the church in such a way that men and women are serving specifically as godly men and godly women, and specifically as godly older and younger men and women. This apostolic command for older women to teach younger women “what is good” (Titus 2:3) arrives in the context of a letter that glories in the eternal doctrines (Titus 2:1) of the gospel and how they’re lived out in all the ordered layers of God’s people together in a local worshiping body. This specific emphasis implies needed time for women to be together and teach each other—primarily though the communication and prayerful application of God’s Word, with an eye toward knowing Christ and honoring him in all our relationships and responsibilities.
