Joanne Kraft explains that faithful discipleship is learned through training and that churches should equip the women already in the seats to disciple younger women, using the Mary and Elizabeth example from Luke 1.

She shares personal stories—from emergency response training to parenting—and urges pastors and leaders to recognize, encourage, and raise up Titus 2-style relationships so faith-filled lives are passed to the next generation.
