Three Essentials For Every Married Woman (Part 1) - Priorities of a Christian WomanThree Essentials For Every Married Woman (Part 2) - Being a World-ChangerFamilyLife Today® Radio TranscriptReferences to conferences, resources, or other special promotions may be obsoleteBeing a World-ChangerGuest: Barbara RaineyFrom 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. 1:00 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] 2:00 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.
