Mary Cassian says reading truths about God is important, but we also need to live the truth out.

Brain smart doesn't always translate into life smart.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth, author of Choosing Gratitude for Tuesday, September 12, 2017.

The Apostle Paul warns against being what he calls weak women. Now, some might bristle at that

phrase because none of us wants to be called weak. In fact, my friend Mary Cassian got upset when

that, she went on the attack. It was an all-out fist swinging, face punching, hair pulling, brawl.

Mary told us the beginning of that story yesterday.

We heard part one of a message called Don't Be a Wimp, kicking the habits that make women weak.

So Mary didn't like being called weak, but she had to come to terms with what the

slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure

rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such

people. For among them are those who creep into households, and here it is, capture weak women, burdened with sins,
