In 1966, Time Magazine featured a cover story asking the question, Is God Dead? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Christian talk show host Eric Metaxas mirrors that provocative cover with a question of his own: Is Atheism Dead? His new book of the same name explains that science makes the case for God’s existence. For example, Dr. Stephen Collins, an archeologist, discovered the biblical Sodom complete with five feet of ash, melted bits of brick, and charred human bone. Scientifically, it could not have been caused by a fire or a volcano. The evidence points to the sobering truth of the Lord’s judgment in Genesis 19.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Christian radio host Eric Metaxas, author of Is Atheism Dead?, declares that science makes the case for God in this fine-tuned universe. For example, did you know that Jupiter, which is 400 million miles away from earth, enables us to live? This gas giant is so massive and has such a strong gravitational pull that it attracts the asteroids, meteorites, and comets that would otherwise bombard earth and destroy all forms of life.

Why was the 2022 March for Life so well attended by enthusiastic high school kids, college students, and young adults from varied backgrounds? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University, claims the reason is simple. These young people who are that vital next generation, grew up seeing the sonogram pictures of their baby brothers and sisters taped to the refrigerator door before they ever met them. Therefore, this new generation of pro-lifers rejects the lie that babies in the womb are just a clump of cells that you can get rid of without any remorse or guilt.

In a poem by Helen Steiner Rice, she wrote, Sometimes we come to life's crossroads, and we view what we think is the end. But God has a much wider vision. He knows that it's only a bend. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. David Jeremiah and Dr. James Dobson use the poet’s words to illustrate the mystery of faith. Dr. Jeremiah, who battled reoccurring cancer, staunchly refutes the belief that Christians won't and should not experience pain and suffering. Whether you’re facing cancer, divorce, broken vows, or a prodigal child, remember that God’s grace is truly sufficient for every need.

A Christian wife married to an unbelieving husband has to walk a tightrope. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Jo Berry, a favorite guest of Dr. Dobson for many years, shares lessons from her book Beloved Unbeliever: Loving Your Husband into the Faith. On one hand, Jo says a wife should not participate with her husband in any activities prohibited by Scripture such as getting drunk or viewing porn. On the other hand, she warns the Christian wife against flaunting her spirituality, becoming dogmatic, or disrespecting her husband. One thing is indisputable: a wife should not hesitate to disciple the kids in the ways of the Lord. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29

First Peter 3 counsels Christian wives of unbelieving husbands to win them to the faith through their purity and reverence rather than simply with words. Easier said than done. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Jo Berry, who was a lecturer, Bible study teacher, and faithful wife, clarifies that this is not a strict prohibition from ever talking about God or church activities. Berry acknowledges that a wife should not try to nag her husband into Heaven. If she allows her Christian witness to do the talking, God can use her faithfulness to convert her husband.
