Interested in Being Part of Our Ministry?
Good heavens. I can’t begin to tell you the difficulty I had in putting this up today! Never seen anything like it.
Are you interested in being a Titus woman in our online ministry? Let us know you are “in” by joining us on the facebook group! 🙂 Our Scripture is 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) “Therefore, my dear sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
We are and strive to become an army of women willing to:
1) learn how to get respect right in their homes,
2) know how to do so without being either controlling OR a doormat,
3) willing to pray for others and their marriages, and
4) willing to transparently influence the culture around them by sharing about what God has done and is doing in their lives
What this translates to weekly is INVOLVEMENT in The Respect Dare Community and (especially) in your circle of influence on facebook and out in the real world (as opposed to the facebook world! LOL)
This can look like a number of different actions. Here are just a few ideas:
1) simply posting comments or answering questions asked on the community page
2) asking questions about Biblical areas that you “have down,” to YOUR circle of influence, pointing them toward God’s Truth in marriage and life, supporting these Truths with Scripture (sharing a link to Bible.org or BibleStudyTools.com
3) in the areas in which you are still learning, sharing what you learn with others by making a comment on your page about this growth
4) encouraging others who are struggling via facebook and twitter
5) sharing info about The Respect Dare
6) praying for those in THIS army, as there WILL be battles and struggles
7) posting in this group when you are struggling AND when you have a “success” moment so we can ALL learn from what God is doing with your life
8) DEFENDING the Truth – in a loving, kind, and gentle way – no disagreements done in anger allowed! 🙂 But the Truth must be defended.
Other ideas are welcome.
Know you will come under fire.
Know this is not an easy thing I’m asking you to do – and it might not be me asking, but Him. Some of you have prayed, “Send me, I’ll go…” If you have, this might be part of the call.
I do not fully understand what God is doing here, but this group is open to mature and growing Titus women (meaning whoever you invite to join us must demonstrate perseverance and be willing to persevere in the difficulties of marriage and faith in the days to come).
I’m inviting you to suffer and be His slave, bought with a high price.
Will you join us? Sign up here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Armyofwomen/ You will need a facebook account. 🙂
Our group will be public for a short time while we are accruing members. Then we will become a covert operation. 🙂
<feeling cool Tom Clancy style – you? :)>
Can’t wait to see what God will do! 🙂
Love to you,

I have not read the book but Lisa Easterling introduced me to you and the group. I am looking forward to reading the book. I have been married almost 29 years so I am sure it would be great..
The Respect Dare is a wonderful thing. I did it by myself last spring after my marriage hit a major snag. Some of the dares took me weeks to finally get through them, but it was worth the time spent prayerfully trying to work though all of the different issues the book brought up. Progress has been made and I would love to help spread the positive word.
keep up the good work,
colleen
To God be the glory! 🙂 Join us on facebook! 🙂
Love to you,

Been on-board since the 1st Daughters of Sarah class and still am. Great Work. May God richly bless this ministry to His glory.
Christina – you are a treasure, girlfriend. 🙂
Love you, baby!
~Nina
I am praying, praying, praying, talking to Hubs, and praying some more, about if this is how God wants me to get more involved in the ministry of respect to wives.
Stellar! 🙂
Glad you are here, Leah. Whatever Dad says is GOOD with us. Now or later, baby. 🙂 His timing is always perfect. 🙂
Love to you,
~Nina
I’m in, like a covert ops member 🙂 and with bright blessings!
Shanyn, you made me LOL. Glad I wasn’t eating or drinking, I would have spit it on the computer. 🙂 Looking forward to getting to know you better.
I know, right? LIke grab me some camo. 🙂
🙂 and I’m looking forward to getting to know you better as well. Glad I could give you a laugh!
I think this is great!
I would love to send you my testimony to see if you would want to post, if you think it will help others.
YES! Please email it to me at informationGreaterImpact.org. Would LOVE this! Thank you for being a woman of strength and dignity and sharing what He’s given you for blessing others! 🙂
Love to you,
~Nina
Very interesting! I have an online forum that I frequent during boredom (more to read than to actually participate) and this morning I was, more than normally, floored at a post by a woman who was frustrated with her husband and all of the women who had commented (even Christian women) about how they would, in my own words, stick it to said husband if they were her. I know from past experience that I can’t speak up in that kind of forum (perhaps I just don’t know how to do it or how NOT to care about their responses).
I will admit that I have never actually completed the Respect Dare but I have made it to Day 14 a few times and just those short 14 days have changed my life. I’m so excited to actually be committed to – and have support – of completing this with the E-Course. Learning how to share that with others? Added bonus!
WOW. There’s so much pain in the world, isn’t there? And I understand – BOY DO I EVER. Sometimes I cry when I read the Amazon “1” and “2” reviews of the book – so much mean-ness…BUT, then I realize that is my pride, my sin that is taking it personally, and then I remember the book was His idea, His creation… and it’s no longer about me. And then it hurts differently – then I weep that they don’t know Him…and I weep for His namesake… and am still figuring it all out. Girl, I get the whole, “can’t move on” thing with the book. 🙂 SO GLAD you are taking the ecourse, SO GLAD you are joining us on facebook! 🙂
Love to you,
~Nina
I would love to join your team but I haven’t read the Respect Dare. I’m still trying to find some other ladies that want to do it in my area. I am not expert enough on the computer to go to Facebook. My husband isn’t familiar with FB either and he is the one who is helping me. Sound like a dummy don’t I! Nina, maybe we could talk on the phone and come up with a solution. I’m 66yrs old and been married 46 yrs. My husband and I lead marriage classes at home and in our church periodically. I see a great need for this in my life and many other women I know.
Diana – YOU are not a dummy. 🙂
Technology is difficult. I struggle with it too – sometimes I just hand over my phone to my 17 year old and ask him to do something for me because I can’t figure it out. 🙂 Perhaps if you email me at informationGreaterImpact.org we can connect you with someone who can walk you through getting a facebook account – and then you can use it to join our version of His army and comment on our community page, thus ministering to women there? 🙂 God will work it out! Let me know if you have trouble finding the book – I know Amazon carries it if your local bookstores don’t have it (but they should by now! :))
Love to you,
~Nina
I just requested to join. I’m on Day 12 and could use support!
AWESOME! Here’s to you becoming contagious in your community! 🙂
Love to you,
~Nina
Can I ask, (honestly, not for fear of commitment…), how time consuming this may be? I recently gave birth to my 3rd child, and bc he came early (8 weeks), we will be at home pretty much all winter long. Thus, I am unable to attend my regular weekly Bible study that is normally such a huge part of my life at this time of year. I *have* been asking God what I might be able to do to replace what I’ll be missing, and I realize possibly this is the answer. (?) Although I don’t know how consistent I’ll always be able to be, seeing as I’m dealing w/ a preemie, and 3 and 4 yo children (none of whom attend any kind of preschool, they are w/ me all day, every day).
Naomi –
Girlfriend, you are BUSY. Baby and kiddos come FIRST – always. 🙂 Just participate as you can. It literally doesn’t matter. 🙂
Love to you,
~Nina
