But what I’ve learned and am learning is that God’s ways are, not only true and right, but they’re also good and beautiful. Nancy: Well, I probably did have a sense that following Christ would be countercultural from the time I was young. From the time I was a little girl, I had this goal in life to be a godly old lady.īob: Did you have any idea when you were a younger woman that being a godly older woman would mean that you would have to take some courageous countercultural stands and, with grace, speak the truth in love but say, “You know, this is not what the Bible teaches, even though it’s what the culture is teaching”? Nancy: And nobody really wants to be called an older woman. We want to talk about older women mentoring younger women today. Thanks for joining us.ĭennis: And Nancy’s just written a book called Adorned: Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together. I’m going to ask Barbara to introduce our guest on the program today.īarbara: Our guest on the program today is our friend, Nancy Wolgemuth. One has been my friend / my bride-compadre in the mission of building marriages and families, here, at FamilyLife over the past 41 years-and my bride of 45 years.īob: She’s been your friend longer than that right?īarbara: So it would be three years plus 45-48.ĭennis: Yes not bad. To help stir the controversy, we have brought two women into the studio. I mean, you’re ready for letters/emails coming in right?īob: Well, look at you! “Come on!”īob: We’re going to step into an area that there’s some passion / some controversy around.ĭennis: There is.
Stay with us.Īnd welcome to FamilyLife Today. What are the instructions that older women are to share with younger women about how they function at home? We’ll spend time looking at that today with our guest, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. Our host is Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. “What you’re doing at home matters-it is part of the gospel story you and your husband are telling together.”īob: This is FamilyLife Today for Wednesday, February 21 st. It doesn’t mean they don’t have any work anywhere else outside their home. Nancy: And I think what Paul is saying to Titus is: “Tell the women-with whatever the temptations, and opportunities, and allurements may be in this world-not to forget the priority of their home.” It doesn’t mean they never leave their home. Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth says, at least, four of those instructions relate to how a woman ought to be functioning at home. Bob: In Titus, Chapter 2, there are very specific instructions for what older women ought to be teaching younger women in the church.
