In the Bible, the prophet Elijah was commissioned by God to radically engage the evil culture. As Christians, we are called to do the same. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Dr. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of Dallas First Baptist Church, discuss Dr. Jeffress’ book, Choosing the Extraordinary Life. They examine the story of Elijah, and Dr. Jeffress shares how to discover God’s unique purpose for your life, as well as the need for believers to influence our society, and what it means to be “salt and light.”
