On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspiring conversation with Victor Marx and his wife, Eileen, co-founders of All Things Possible Ministries. According to Victor, the world needs men to answer the call to be filled with God’s spirit and be willing to fight mightily against the kingdom of darkness, and to be more like Jesus, who is the greatest example of the “dangerous gentleman!” Proverbs 3:25-26 says, “Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
According to Victor Marx, co-founder of All Things Possible Ministries, the biggest threat to America is not terrorism, it’s the lack of fathers.

They also discuss the trauma Victor faced as a young boy, and how growing up without a loving father figure affected his life. You’ll hear unbelievable stories of redemption, rescue and resilience that only the Lord could orchestrate. Matthew 19:26 says, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Hear more of all that the Lord has done through Victor and his wife, Eileen.
According to Kim Meeder, “True and authentic hope is only fully realized, not when we keep it for ourselves, but when we imitate Jesus Christ and give it away. That's when hope becomes mature.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspiring interview with Troy and Kim Meeder of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. Be encouraged as Kim shares about the unique personalities of horses, and how attuned they can be to a child in need and bring comfort.
Many children with physical and emotional scars have a profound connection with horses that have been through similar hardships. For years, Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch has been a refuge for both broken horses and broken children.

Teaching your children the truth about sex might seem a bit scary, but if you don't do it, who will? Television? Movies? The public school system?

As Christians living in this modern culture, we must be bold and refuse to keep our beliefs silent.

John 12:46 says, “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” Join in the fight! According to Gary and John, “We must be good stewards of our Christian citizenship and not waste the valuable influence we have!”
According to Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, “We are living in a culture that is all too often hostile to faith, family, and freedom!” Never before have we found the family unit more threatened and attacked! Today on Family Talk, Gary discusses the current state of America with John Stemberger, president of Liberty Counsel Action. Though we have faltered as a country and now risk losing it all, we can come together to fight for all that we hold dear. Isaiah 6:8 says, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Be encouraged as Gary and John share their vision and challenge us to never give up, and fight for our religious freedoms, the sanctity of human life and the family!
No one wants to experience great loss or tragedy. Instead of trusting God when heartbreak comes, we often question why He is allowing our suffering. Today’s edition of Family Talk will address that pain through a conversation between Dr. James Dobson and his guest, Pastor Lon Solomon. James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” We pray that you will experience the peace only Jesus can bring as Pastor Solomon reminds us that “suffering has a redeeming purpose in God’s plan for our lives.”

Black, author of Make Your Voice Heard in Heaven: How to Pray with Power, about the access we have to God through prayer and the unfathomable love our Creator has for each one of His children.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspirational discussion with former NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp about his book, Facing the Blitz. Jeff describes humility as the key to success, whether it be on the football field, or in his relationships with family and friends. Proverbs 11:2 says, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Hear more about the success we can have if we will focus more on investing in others rather than living only for ourselves.
The entire momentum of a football game can be dramatically shifted as the result of an aggressive blitz. Jeff Kemp, a former NFL quarterback, has his own version of John 16:33, “In this world you will have blitzes (tribulation). But take heart! I have overcome the world.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with Jeff as he shares how the trials in our lives compare to that of a blitz in football, when it appears that the whole world is out to get you and take you down!

She discusses tough subjects such as self-esteem, peer pressure, and dating, as well as sisterly advice on how we can have faith and trust God to navigate us through these rough seas of life.

According to Dr. Owen Strachan, over the past 50-60 years, America has symbolically been breathing a thickening toxic air that has been attempting to choke out the life-giving breath of God’s Word. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his inspiring and hopeful discussion with Dr. Strachan about the absolute necessity for an infusion of pure oxygen of God’s grace and truth to be breathed into our darkening society once again. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
In our society today, we battle so many dark ideologies such as “wokeism,” the transgender movement, the war on masculinity, and the sanctity of human life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Dr. Owen Strachan about how all of this has culminated in the tearing down of the biblical worldview that our nation was founded upon. Yet in the midst of all this chaos, we can take courage in the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Strachan reminds us of this great hope and introduces the new Dobson Culture Center. Matthew 5:16 says, “…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
