I was 15, and I had gotten my first diary. Jennifer: It was the late ‘70’s, and I was a teenage girl. And, as it turns out, she has learned a lot-about life, and about God, and about faith-from struggling with her own blindness. She has been blind since she was a teenager. Because what you’re going to get a little taste of, here in the next few minutes, here on FamilyLife Today, are the kinds of speakers you’ll hear at one of these events.īob: And the women, who were at True Woman ’10, in Chattanooga, were very encouraged as Jennifer Rothschild shared from her own life, her own experience. And if women haven’t been to one of these conferences, they really need to go. I believe she is a prophetic voice today for the Christian community especially to the hearts of women. Our friend, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, gives leadership to that ministry. Really it is a great conference for women.ĭennis: It really is.

And let them know there’s an opportunity for them to register and be at one of these upcoming conferences. I thought we need to share this with our FamilyLife Today listeners, and let them know about True Woman ‘10 that’s going to be happening in September, in Indianapolis, and in October, in Fort Worth. Jennifer got up on Friday morning and shared this message with the ladies who were there. I was there not because I go to women’s conferences regularly, but I got invited to emcee this particular conference and to do a workshop while I was there. I was recently at the True Woman ‘10 conference, in Chattanooga. She was here a number of years ago, and we had a great time visiting with her. And you remember our friend, Jennifer Rothschild, who was here.ĭennis: She’s from Missouri, too, Springfield, Missouri.īob: Right. The “Show Me State” says, “If I see it, I’ll believe it.” But, God, in Scripture, I believe, repeatedly calls us to believe it before we see it.īob: Yes. It says, “For we walk by faith, and not by sight.”ĭennis: It’s real easy to be from the “Show Me State” of Missouri, because I am. I’m thinking of 2 Corinthians 5, which really I think is going to have a lot to say about the message we’re going to hear today. Yet, it’s interesting, Bob, in the Bible occasionally you’ll find those senses contrasted with a spiritual principle. Have you ever stopped to think how much the Bible has to say about sight, and seeing, and vision, and just how that spiritual metaphor of light and sight? It really is a profound picture of being spiritually aware.ĭennis: Yes, and He gave us five senses so that, I believe, we could experience Him, see Him, and ultimately trust Him. Thanks for joining us on the Thursday edition. Today, Jennifer Rothschild shares with us lessons she’s learned about walking by faith and not by sight.īob: Welcome to FamilyLife Today. Our host is the President of FamilyLife Dennis Rainey, and I’m Bob Lepine. And it left… me…silent.īob: This is FamilyLife Today for Thursday, June 24 th. And it scrapes everything on the way down that you once anticipated gave you security, and made sense. The kind of word that falls deep to the bottom of your soul. Blindness is one of those words we just don’t ever expect to hear.

Jennifer: This is not what I expected to hear that day.
