Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk

First time parents often feel overwhelmed or unprepared for the responsibility of caring for a new child. Listen as Dr. James Dobson and Super Bowl winning tight end Benjamin Watson reflect on their own upbringings before discussing the critical bond that boys, in particular, have with their fathers.

There is an ongoing attack from this culture with the goal of disparaging and vilifying men, fathers, and the very concept of masculinity. On this edition, Dr. Dobson reads his June newsletter which focuses on this assault against biblical manhood. He reviews America's moral slide away from godliness, and identifies the various ways men are undermined and ruthlessly criticized in this society. Hear what you can do to better honor and encourage the father in your life.

Fathers and their little girls have a special and unique bond. On this Father's Day edition, Dr. Dobson and his daughter Danae look back and reminisce at their meaningful relationship. Danae talks about the wisdom she learned from her dad at a young age, while Dr. Dobson shares some of his most precious memories of Danae as a child.

A father's unconditional and patient love is the best gift he can give to his children. On this broadcast, Dr. Dobson and Dr. Tim Clinton continue their conversation about the important role of a dad. The two emphasize a dad's responsibility as a spiritual leader and protector of their children's young developing minds.

When someone says the word 'father' an immediate picture comes to mind. Whether that’s a TV or movie character, the dad you have, or the one you wished you had growing up. On this edition, Dr. Dobson and Dr. Tim Clinton discuss the monumental impact of a father. They each reflect on the life and legacy of their dads and highlight the ways they are striving to be godly men to their children.

Absent and unloving fathers can cause lasting damage to their daughter's self-esteem. On this broadcast, author and pastor Dr. David Jeremiah concludes his message about the critical bond between a girl and her dad. He looks back at his own mistakes as a father and addresses a young girl's tendency to look for a man similar to her dad.

It's natural to believe that boys idolize their dads while girls look up to their moms. However, on this broadcast, author and pastor Dr. David Jeremiah, points out that a father's bond with his daughter is just as important. He examines how a volatile and broken relationship between a girl and her father, can utterly devastate the rest of her life.

Every person, no matter their age, ethnicity or background, is made in the image of Almighty God. On this edition, Dr. Tim Clinton sits down with author and pro-life activist, Ryan Bomberger—the co-founder of The Radiance Foundation. Ryan shares his own heartfelt testimony and points out the discrepancies and false narratives promoted by the pro-abortion advocates.

America's influence on the world stage is thanks in part to strong government leaders. On this broadcast, Dr. Dobson talks with the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. They discuss various issues involving America's global position, including the COVID-19 crisis, Hong Kong protestors, and the threats of communist China. Secretary Pompeo also talks about his strong faith in Jesus and his passion for protecting religious liberty.

Many places of worship across the country have been designated as 'non-essential' under the guise of states' social distancing rules. On this edition, Pastor Brian Gibson continues talking with Dr. Dobson about this constitutional crisis facing the religious community. They examine the double standard in allowing liquor stores and supermarkets to reopen, but not churches.

With more states relaxing their stay-at-home orders, many churches still remain unable to reopen. On this broadcast, Pastor Brian Gibson explains to Dr. Dobson why he believes this is a violation of our religious liberty. The two first speak to the racial unrest in our society, before Pastor Gibson reminds listeners of every American's right to peaceably assemble.

Following the cruel murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest this racial injustice. On this broadcast, U.S. Senator Tim Scott joins Dr. Dobson by phone to address the public outcry over this unprovoked death, and the growing civil and racial unrest throughout America. They also condemn the violence that has erupted in many U.S. cities and encourage all people to respect and love one another.

Choosing a spouse is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make and remaining faithful is essential to a healthy marriage. This broadcast concludes our week of programming honoring Ravi Zacharias. In this presentation, the late apologist sternly stresses the importance of both purity and emotionally preparing oneself for marriage.

Early in a new relationship, it's easy for couples to think that those warm feelings of love will last forever. On this broadcast, the late Ravi Zacharias examines a relationship from the Bible to express how love is much deeper than emotion. Ravi uses Isaac and Rebekah's marriage as a model for what romance, character, and commitment should look like.

Despite the turbulent times we live in, there is a spiritual hunger being stirred throughout our land. On this broadcast, you'll hear another program dedicated to the life of the late, Ravi Zacharias. Dr. Dobson and Ravi emphasize the importance of remembering God’s faithfulness and holding on to His promises. Listen to how this nation can turn its heart back to God.
