Discover the profound meaning of Good Friday through an inspiring video by Dr. James Dobson.
Good Friday is the day we remember that Jesus was beaten, mocked, crowned with thorns, and nailed to a cross.
Like learning to drive or training for sports, you can help motivate your child to learn by showing the payoff.
Palm Sunday reminds us that the King has come, but we need to prepare the way through acts of surrender. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem as Savior and King, the people laid down their cloaks and palm branches in surrender and honor. They were preparing the way for the coming King.
Easter is not just another holiday—it is the foundation of our faith. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. As parents, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to prepare our hearts—and the hearts of our children—for what matters most.
As teenage girls grow into young women, it can be challenging for moms to find meaningful ways to connect and spend constructive time together. In this sweet reel, Trina Alleyne and her daughter share heartfelt ideas for bonding that encourage adolescents to step into womanhood with godly character. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of intentional connection.
It’s easy to focus solely on correcting our children’s behavior, but when we do, we risk missing the bigger picture: shepherding their hearts. This approach can lead to resentment, disconnection, and temporary fixes rather than lasting change. In this reel, Trina Alleyne shares four questions to ask your kids that can help you reach their hearts.
Recently at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, the James Dobson Family Institute presented the inaugural Dr. James C. Dobson Courage in Media Award to Pastor Jack Hibbs. This award honors leaders who boldly proclaim biblical truth and stand firm in their faith despite cultural pressures. During the presentation, Danae Dobson reflected on her father’s legacy of courage — his unwavering commitment to defending life, strengthening families, and speaking truth with conviction even when it was unpopular.
In today’s culture, the world is quick to fill kids’ minds with its own values and narratives, often leaving parents feeling like they’re playing catch-up. The longer you wait to instill truth and guide your children in the right direction, the harder these become. Don’t let the world take the lead—watch Brenen and Morgan Beeler’s reel for practical ways to teach your sons and daughters what’s right before the noise of the world drowns you out. Be encouraged and empowered to shape their hearts and minds!
Dr. Dobson explains the purpose of Easter, sharing how it represents the gift of eternal life to all who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior.
