The JDFI staff account represents a collaborative effort from the entire team at the James Dobson Family Institute. Our diverse group of writers, researchers, and contributors work together to bring you insights, encouragement, and resources designed to strengthen families, uphold biblical values, and positively impact our culture.
We must not forget America’s heritage. This nation was birthed in prayer and founded on the God of the Bible—on His biblical principles and His moral values. Unfortunately, many have turned their backs on their Creator, and we are reaping the consequences.
Recently at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, the James Dobson Family Institute presented the inaugural Dr. James C. Dobson Courage in Media Award to Pastor Jack Hibbs. This award honors leaders who boldly proclaim biblical truth and stand firm in their faith despite cultural pressures. During the presentation, Danae Dobson reflected on her father’s legacy of courage — his unwavering commitment to defending life, strengthening families, and speaking truth with conviction even when it was unpopular.
If you want a resolution that truly transforms your year, resolve to love better—because at the heart of a worthwhile life is the quality of your relationships. You can chase better habits, bigger goals, or greater success, but none of it compares to the strength, love, and connection you experience with the people closest to you. Your relationships shape your well being, your joy, and the way you move through every day of your life.
