The Need For Mentors
Young people need to have a mentor in their lives to help guide them in their life decisions.

By God’s perfect design for nearly 50 years, Dr. James Dobson has been the leading clinical voice for the celebration and preservation of the family.
To reach the next generation, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute is remastering Dr. Dobson’s biblically-based “transforming truths” into 60-second audio messages. The new Dr. Dobson Minute will provide young families with practical insights that will strengthen marriages and help build better parenting skills.
