Gary currently serves as senior vice president of Public Policy and Culture at JDFI, president of American Values, and chairman of Campaign for Working Families PAC. Previously, he served in the Reagan administration as Under Secretary of Education and Head of the Office of Policy Development. Gary became president of the Family Research Council, senior vice president of Focus on the Family, and was appointed by President Trump to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer breaks down the “highlights” from the presidential debate and parses President Joe Biden’s colossal collapse.
On today’s 4th of July edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his stirring discussion with Bob McEwen, executive director of the Council for National Policy, about what makes America great. We must wake up to the warning signs as our society begins to crumble around us, and recognize the consequences that occur when a nation forsakes God. Listen as Bob recounts America’s proud history recanted in the lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner.
Former President Trump spoke at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference recently. He urged the audience of Christian conservative activists to do everything possible to encourage Christians to vote this November. He said, "The radical left is trying to shame Christians, silence you, demoralize you, and they want to keep you out of politics. They don't want you to vote. That's why you have to vote . . .
1 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Today on Family Talk, as we prepare to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the United States of America, we will hear from Gary Bauer and Bob McEwen, executive director of the Council for National Policy. Bob reminds us that July 4, 1776, marks that momentous occasion in which America became the symbol for freedom around the globe. We must not fail to teach our children that our nation was founded on the truth and principles of the Bible or we’ll run the risk of losing the liberties that we hold so dear.
Last week marked the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade. The verdict ended the myth that a "right" to abortion is hidden somewhere in our Constitution.
Last night's performance by President Biden raised serious questions about whether he is physically and mentally capable of handling the job. That said, let's look at an issue JDFI feels very strongly about: the sanctity of life. One of the most heated exchanges in the debate occurred over that issue.
Louisiana just did a "shout-out" to Moses. Governor Jeff Landry signed a first-in-the-nation bill requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments. Under the new law, all classrooms, kindergarten through state-funded universities, will be required to have a poster-size display of the Commandments.
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer shares that radical secularists (today's neo-Marxists) have been attempting to rewrite America's founding, to erase religion (specifically, Christianity) for a very long time. Bauer plays clips from a speech delivered by President Ronald Reagan held at a Dallas, Texas, prayer breakfast in 1984. Spoiler alert! President Reagan takes these attacks from the Left masterfully head-on. Shredding them by root and branch, the President brought the 17,000 attendees to thunderous ovations again and again. You may want to listen to this podcast more than once.
As a parent, do you have a plan for how you’re raising your children? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his passionate discussion with Dr. George Barna about his book, Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child’s Heart, Mind and Soul. If we, as parents, do not fulfill our God-given privilege of guiding the development of our children, based on the Christian faith, we will leave them to the mercy of a fallen world. We must not continue to outsource our parental obligations to the secular culture, or else we’ll have to be prepared to suffer the consequences.
Many pro-life leaders and activists were shocked last week when the Supreme Court ruled 9-to-0 to dismiss the mifepristone chemical "abortion pill" case. JDFI signed an amicus brief supporting the pro-life position, and we are disappointed in the outcome.
