Keeping Your Focus

Guests: Dennis and Barbara Rainey

From the series: Unshaken: He Is the Stability of Our Times (Day 1 of 3)

Air date: October 17, 2016

Bob: Do you ever find yourself being anxious or troubled by the events that are taking place in our culture? You’re not alone. Barbara Rainey has the same feelings.

Barbara: I mean, there are plenty of times that I’ve listened to the news, or read an article, or listened to someone and I’ve—my response has been fear. I have felt fearful in my heart, and that’s not what God wants me to do. He doesn’t want me to respond in fear / He wants me to respond in faith. So, my responsibility is to create a balance between the messages that I’m allowing to speak to my heart; and I want to grow the messages that are going to grow my faith.

Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, October 17th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I’m Bob Lepine. How do we foster faith in our own heart, and how do we help our children feel secure in times of instability? We’ll talk about that today. Stay with us.

1:00

And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us on the Monday edition. You grew up in the Ozarks in southeast Missouri; right?—southwest Missouri.

Dennis: Right.
Bob: At that time, when you were growing up, was there a Silver Dollar City? Did it exist?

Dennis: No; there was a cave. [Laughter]

Bob: I’ve been to the cave.

Dennis: There was a cave, and there were two shows in Branson.

Bob: Yes; but Silver Dollar City came along years later.

Dennis: The Presley Brothers and—what was the other one?

Barbara: The Baldknobbers.

Dennis: Baldknobbers—that was it. [Laughter] Branson, Missouri, was not the hotspot that it is today; but there was no Silver Dollar City.

Bob: Your wife, who is joining us today—you obviously know the history of Branson a little bit.

Barbara: Well, I just remember Dennis’s mother talking about that. I think they went a few times—did you?—when you were growing up? I remember her talking about the Baldknobbers; because it’s such an odd, strange—

Dennis: No.

Barbara: —weird term.

Dennis: We never.

Bob: You didn’t go?

2:00

Dennis: We never.

Barbara: Well, maybe, she used to go—I don’t know! [Laughter]

Dennis: I don’t know that my mother ever went.

Barbara: Okay; well, she knew about them. [Laughter]

Dennis: It was great, great cultural music; but maybe, a cut above where we were. [Laughter]

Bob: I remember—because I grew up in Missouri as well—and I remember vacationing in Branson, as a child, and going to Silver Dollar City. Here is my distinct memory—there was an attraction in the middle of Silver Dollar City called Slantin’ Sam’s Cabin. Do you remember Slantin’ Sam’s Cabin? Does this ring a bell to you?

Barbara: No. We took our kids there, too; but I don’t remember it.

Dennis: It must have been a real high point. [Laughter]

Bob: This was a cabin you’d go into where the walls all leaned one way and the floor tilted way up. In fact, I remember—in one room, you’d go in and water ran uphill because of how they had it all arranged.

Dennis: Oh, yes.

Bob: And I loved going to Slantin’ Sam’s Cabin and just walking through it. You came out feeling disoriented. In fact, years later, when I took Mary Ann there, we walked through it—

3:00

—she said, “I don’t want to go to Slantin’ Sam’s Cabin.”

Barbara: “I don’t like this.”

Bob: “It just gives me a headache.”

There is something about the amusements—like those mirrors in the old amusement parks, where you looked everywhere—that can be fun for a day; but if the world you’re living in starts to feel like Slantin’ Sam’s Cabin, all of a sudden, it goes from being a fun attraction to being something that’s very disorienting.

Dennis: You know, what you are describing, Bob, is what we want to talk about. Barbara has a passion—and I do too—for equipping families to know how to live in a culture that seems to be more disorienting today than it ever has been. I mean, think about what’s taking place politically, what’s taking place from a societal standpoint / the redefinitions that now have become the new norm, what’s taking place morally in our country, and then, how Christians feel / those who are followers of Christ—

4:00

—how they feel—because they’re no longer welcome, in many regards, in our own country. We’re now getting blamed for things that are being brought to our country by outsiders.

Bob: Yes; we had a guest earlier this year who talked about—he used the metaphor—he said, “We’re no longer the home team.” There was a day, when we were growing up—to be a Christian and to live out Christian values in this culture—people generally supported that and thought that was good thing.

Dennis: I no longer sit down in an airplane, when I’m travelling to speak at a conference—I no lo...
