Standing firm in your faith can come at a cost. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer continues his powerful conversation with Carson and Torey Beach about standing firm in their faith against medical pressures, and experiencing God’s “Red Sea moment” of deliverance. They also share how gratitude and hope in Christ carry them through daily challenges.
Carson and Torey Beach longed for children and prayed for twins. God answered—but then came an unexpected diagnosis. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer welcomes the Beaches to share how their daughters’ cystic fibrosis diagnosis tested their faith and strengthened their marriage. They discuss navigating the medical world as believers, and the importance of staying present with your children through hardship.
One of the Left’s many big lies comes most often from the LGBTQ lobby. They claim that all they want to do is live and let live. “Let us be who we are.” These were powerful arguments during the debate over changing the 3,000-year-old definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman to the joining of two people of the same sex. But we have discovered over and over again that as soon as the LGBTQ movement gets power, the live-and-let-live attitude toward Christians goes out the window, replaced by an iron fist that demands we sacrifice the teachings of our faith. And it isn’t only homosexual issues. Don’t forget, President Obama tried to force Catholic nuns—nuns!—to subsidize abortions. His attack on religious liberty was eventually overruled by the Supreme Court. Joe Biden tried, too. Biden’s Department of Education threatened every school district in the country that if they did not allow boys into girls’ bathrooms, he would cut off their school lunch programs for poor students. Unbelievable! By the way, most of the media ignored this outrage. There are hundreds of examples like this, and JDFI has been in many of these battles. Here is ...
Two significant events in recent days have highlighted the stark contrast in values dividing America today. Many observers refer to this battle of values as “the culture war.” First, let’s consider the Super Bowl halftime show. The Super Bowl is an iconic American sporting event. Millions of people from all backgrounds love football. The NFL had an excellent opportunity to bring Americans together with a halftime show that celebrated our shared values, especially this year as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Instead, the NFL’s woke leadership chose to divide the country by selecting Bad Bunny—a cross-dressing, Puerto Rican rapper—as the main performer for the halftime show. If you’re not familiar with Bad Bunny, don’t worry; that’s a good thing. His songs are full of explicit sexual content and vile lyrics. Unfortunately, he has a large following, particularly among young Hispanics. Days before the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny was on Saturday Night Live. Many Americans were insulted when he told us we needed to learn Spanish to understand his halftime performance. America is a multilingual society, but English is our national unifying language. Next, he appeared at the Grammys and denounced the enforcement of US immigration laws. In fact, he actually ...
Gary endorses Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s warning to Europe to rediscover its Christian heritage and defend Western civilization—or risk collapse. The hour is late!
We believe, as did our founder, Dr. James Dobson, that America’s only hope for the future is that we turn our hearts back to God. That’s one of the reasons we are excited about a historically significant worship event scheduled for this year. It is part of the celebration of America’s 250th birthday. The White House has announced a day of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving for May 17, 2026, including a special event on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Every American is invited. To RSVP, go here. The date of this event has historical roots. In 1776, the American colonies were facing the likelihood of a war with the British Empire. Armed conflict between colonial patriots and British troops had already exploded in 1775 in the Battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. More British troops were headed across the Atlantic. In January 1776, a firebrand “patriot” named Thomas Paine published a pamphlet titled Common Sense. In it, he called for complete independence rather than reconciliation with England. While all this was happening, the Second Continental Congress was meeting in Philadelphia. The delegates were confronted with monumental life-and-death decisions. They were divided by regional disagreements. Tempers often flared. Fear ...
