Being a World-Changer

Guest:                        Barbara Rainey

From the series:       Three Essentials for Every Married Woman (Day 2 of 2)

Air date:                     September 2, 2014

Bob: The kind of woman God uses in her home and in her world is a woman who has dug down deep in His Word. Here’s Barbara Rainey.

Barbara: “Wimpy theology makes wimpy women.” [John Piper]—because—if we really aren’t in God’s Word, then we just have second-hand information. We’re living on somebody else’s insight or somebody else’s discovery. That makes for wimpy theology. It makes for a wimpy woman too. 

Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Friday, November 20th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I’m Bob Lepine. A wise woman knows that the foundation of her relationship with her husband is, first and foremost, found in a strong relationship with God. Stay tuned.

And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us on the Tuesday edition. You looked tired when you came in today. Was it because of dinner last night? [Laughter]

Dennis: You saying that dinner wore me out?  What are you saying?

Bob: You were just—as you were—

Dennis: I slept well.

Bob: As you recounted to me, you said that you had a meal with your wife and that she was—you were pretty worn out by the time it was over.

Dennis: I did not say— [Laughter] Barbara, if you’re listening to this, I want you to know I did not say that!

Bob: Okay, that’s true. You did not say that.

Dennis: Bob is construing—I actually said: “Last night, over dinner, Barbara was talking about all the stuff she wants to do and be a part of. She was dreaming and thinking and had a list of 12 projects she wanted to accomplish—

Bob: Here’s what you really said. You said she talked for an hour before you got a word in edgewise. [Laughter]

Dennis: I did not!

Bob: That’s exactly what you said! [Laughter]

Dennis: I did not say that. [Laughter] I enjoy talking to her. In fact, I said this to her. I said, “You know, in our relationship, you have become the extrovert; and I am becoming an introvert.”  She said: “No, no, no. Don’t you give me that!  You are not an introvert!”  And she’s right. I’m not an introvert. But I do enjoy listening to her because she’s energized, she’s excited, she’s got her head up—she’s looking to the horizon with ideas for the future.

Bob: In fact, if folks are interested in looking at what Barbara has been working on in recent days, they can go to FamilyLife.com and click at the top of the page where it says, “GO DEEPER.” There is a link there for the Ever Thine Home® resources—the complete line of resources that Barbara Rainey has been working on over the last couple of years now—great collectio
