Facing the Blitz – Part 2
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.

Facing the Blitz – Part 1
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! Learn of the hope we can have when we turn these adversities or blitzes, as Jeff says, over to Jesus. There is a wonderful opportunity to seek Him as we confront the hardships in our lives.
