Out of the Dark: My Journey Through the Shadows to Find Joy

Launching her career as a contestant on the popular television program, American Idol, gospel singer Mandisa went on to eventually win a Grammy in 2013 for best Contemporary Christian album. Along the way she sold over 1.6 million records. But, on today's edition of Family Talk, Mandisa reveals her pain beyond the accolades. In her new book, Out of the Dark, she describes the incalculable pain of molestation and rape, and the feelings of inadequacy that followed. After the loss of a close friend to cancer, the grief from her past traumas rose to the surface, resulting in her falling into a deep depression and isolation. Through community and counseling, Mandisa finally found joy. Psalm 40:3 is her testimony, "He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him."

Hope Heals: Finding Joy in the Midst of Suffering Part 2

Fourteen years ago, Katherine Wolf suffered a massive stroke which led to thirteen surgeries and a life of limited mobility and other challenges. Since then, she's disrupted the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life. On today's edition of Family Talk, the author of Hope Heals points to Colossians 3 where the Apostle Paul wrote, "Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." No matter what trial you're enduring, Katherine calls you to persevere.

Hope Heals: Finding Joy in the Midst of Suffering Part 1

One day, Katherine Wolf was a 26-year-old wife and the doting mother to her six month old baby boy. The next day, without warning, she suffered a massive brain stem stroke. On today's edition of Family Talk, the author of Hope Heals recounts how she was in a coma for nearly three months. Today, fourteen years later, Katherine is living her best life possible, given so many physical obstacles. She utilizes a wheelchair at times but declares it's just an avenue to her freedom and only pushes her forward. A song lyric that she loves from David Crowder is, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." Katherine exhorts believers to acknowledge their own "invisible" wheelchairs and how God can use their weaknesses for His glory.

The Frontlines of Pro-Life Conscience and Care Part 2

On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Christina Francis, chairwoman of the board of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, tells our own Dr. Tim Clinton that she is hopeful that Roe v. Wade can be overturned, depending on the result of the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court case, to be decided this June. AAPLOG submitted a legal brief in the Mississippi case, supporting the state's ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The pro-life OB-GYNs warn that post-abortive women face a seven times greater likelihood of suicide. Dr. Francis declares, "Abortion is not healthcare, because pregnancy is not a disease. It is a natural process of the body!"

The Frontlines of Pro-Life Conscience and Care Part 1

Did you know that before Roe v. Wade, the once reputable American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists opposed killing babies in the womb? Tragically, the group by and large became aggressively pro-abortion once the egregious law was passed in 1973. In the late 2000s, the organization declared that if a physician will not perform or refer an abortion, he or she is unethical, and should even lose his or her license. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Christina Francis explains that the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists was formed to reaffirm the value and dignity of individual human life in all stages of growth and development. Their pro-life members, who are all doctors, assert that science is demonstrably on the side of life , from the moment of conception.

Give Them Unshakable Faith – Are Your Kids Prepared? Part 1

The vast majority of young people do not believe in absolute truth, that Christ is divine, or that the Bible is the Living Word. No wonder 75% say they have no sense of purpose and over half struggle with depression. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, explains that after young adults graduate from the Summit's 2-week summer program, 86% have a biblical worldview compared to the 4% national average. They also become equipped to stand up for and defend truth , with a capital "T" , in College and beyond. When Dr. Dobson's son, Ryan, attended as a teen in 1987, it changed his life.

Beyond Suffering: Hope for Parents with Special Needs Kids

When Steve Bundy discovered that his newborn son, Caleb, had multiple disabilities, he was devastated and struggled with a crisis of faith. He and his wife, Melissa, traded toy trucks for full-time caregiving. On today's edition of Family Talk, the senior vice president at Joni and Friends Ministries confesses that he was angry, lost, and disillusioned after his son's diagnosis. When Steve asked God why He wouldn't fix Caleb, he felt the Lord say, "Aren't you glad I didn't require you to be fixed before I accepted you?" Through this process, Steve has learned that, "suffering without purpose is meaningless. But suffering with purpose through the sovereignty of God has all the meaning in the world."
