Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
There are many reasons Christians must vote in record numbers this November. Our country will elect a president, one-third of the Senate, and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Supreme Court justices are not elected. The president makes nominations, and then they must receive a majority vote in the Senate.
One of the most potently destructive ideologies that has taken hold in America is Critical Race Theory (CRT). For some time, the concept languished in obscurity, a matter kicked around in legal journals read by scholars.
Women’s sports in the United States are under siege from proponents of radical transgender ideology. Men and boys “identifying” as women and girls are stealing honors and awards meant for actual females in athletic competitions.
The James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI) believes that every human life is made in the image of God, and therefore, from conception through natural death, life must be protected. We pray that all children will someday be welcomed into the world, safeguarded by the laws of the United States.
President Biden is facing growing calls to withdraw from the presidential race because of concerns about his diminished mental capacity.

The Olympics captivate my family every few years as we marvel at the power and grace in sports like sprinting and basketball. These Games remind us of humanity's inherent glory-seeking nature.

The Olympic spotlight will fade, but pursuing God's glory resonates eternally. Athletes get praise now, but we worship Jesus forever.
The Olympics remind us of who we are as people. We have a natural capacity for what I call glory-seeking. In other words, something innate in the human heart makes us hunger for greatness. Among other motivations, this is why both male and female athletes devote decades of their lives toward a shot at performing and thriving in the Olympic Games. They want to write their names on the wall of athletic immortality. In a word, they want glory.
Former President Trump spoke at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference recently. He urged the audience of Christian conservative activists to do everything possible to encourage Christians to vote this November. He said, "The radical left is trying to shame Christians, silence you, demoralize you, and they want to keep you out of politics. They don't want you to vote. That's why you have to vote . . .

In this video, Dr. Owen Strachan, senior director of the Dobson Culture Center, notes that the false promises of transgenderism leave many with distorted bodies, confused minds, and broken hearts. However, there is hope, as people are awakening by God’s grace, affirming that God created humans as male and female (Gen. 1:26-27). Christians must continue speaking, praying, and standing firm on biblical principles, confident in the ultimate triumph of light over darkness (or truth over lies).
