What’s at Stake this November

On Tuesday, November 8th, Americans across the country will cast their votes in the midterm elections. This will be a moment in time that will prove to be crucial for the future of our country. Most Christians recognize that our nation is divided, is in serious trouble, and that none of our problems will be solved unless believers step into the public square and cast biblically-informed votes. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, identify the “kitchen table issues” on the ballot this fall and remind us of our duty and the importance of making our voices heard at the polls.

As Americans, we are blessed to enjoy the fruits of our freedom, born out of the hardship of generations past. But we need to be aware of something very important: liberty is fragile. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Eric Metaxas discuss Eric’s book, If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty.

Search and Rescue with a Ground Zero Hero

When Muslim terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, close to 3,000 people lost their lives. As a firefighter working in the debris of the attack, Tom Bowen used his fire hose as a lifeline to navigate through the rubble and wreckage. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Bowen explains that 2,000-degree fires continued to burn underground for months afterwards. As he retrieved and returned the remains of the dead to their families, he inhaled toxic fumes, which led to the development of brain lesions and the need for a large portion of his right lung to be removed. As Tom struggled to put his life back together, he discovered how Jesus is the ultimate lifeline for every believer.

Some Good News — Really!

In 1956, Congress voted unanimously to make "In God We Trust" our national motto. Sadly, over the years since then, God has been kicked out of our classrooms with predictable results. But maybe the tide is turning. Texas children are likely to see the motto in their schools this year. A law passed in 2021 by the Texas legislature, supported and signed by Governor Greg Abbott, is the reason.
