What is the importance of teaching young women in the Church?

Carlton McLeod highlights the necessity for the church to prioritize the discipleship of young women. He refers to biblical teachings such as Titus 2 and Ephesians 6, which emphasize the role of older women in training younger women and fathers in educating their children. He underscores the importance of not neglecting the teachings related to women. More than domestic skills, young women need to be well-versed in theological subjects like soteriology as they play a crucial role in the spiritual upbringing of children.

McLeod emphasizes the importance of teaching the Bible in context and urges parents to educate their children in key faith themes. He advocates for older women to guide younger ones in domestic responsibilities as mentioned in Titus 2. The goal is to raise young women as strong warriors in the faith, ready and equipped to fulfil God's commands.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV): "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it."

I think it ought to be top priority, just as a discipleship of our sons. I think a preacher, a church that has a high view of Titus 2 where the older women train the younger. I think a church that has a high view of Ephesians 6 where fathers train their children is critical. And I think preachers should not shy away from, you know, all the texts concerning sisters, concerning the women, that's a big problem in our day as well. But I think our daughters need to know more than how to bake.

They need to know that, but they also need to know soteriology, they need to know pneumatology, they need to know it all, because they're the teachers of our children. So I think we preach the Bible in context. I think we exhort fathers and mothers to train their children in all the great themes of the faith. I think the older women should train the younger in those domestic duties that we read about in Titus 2. And I think we don't shy away from it.

I think we raise up fierce young warriors and in our daughters to go and do what thus saith the Lord.
