What would our culture look like if every man, husband, and father began to accept their God-given responsibility of being the spiritual leader of his family? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with a panel of experts in men’s ministry on the subject of biblical masculinity. The panel also talks about three simple steps in ministering to men, and why these are imperative for the future of the Church.

As a result, more and more are ignoring their duties as spiritual heads of their households. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson discusses this issue with a panel of experts who serve in men’s ministry.
The definition of resilience is, “The capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.” According to Dr. Kathy Koch, in order to be resilient, our children must learn from and adapt with the trials of life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. Koch continue their conversation about building endurance in our kids. Listen as Dr. Koch shares how parents can speak strength into their children’s lives, and by doing so, they will become trained for how to cope with life’s inevitable traumas, both big and small. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
