The Character of God in the Prophecy of Christ

January 10, 2023

Did you know that seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah predicted that Jesus would come to earth and be crucified for our sins? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dan Seaborn, the president of Winning At Home, highlights the four descriptions of the God who loves us despite ourselves. In Isaiah 9:6, the prophet writes that our redeemer is the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.” Seaborn methodically unfolds the rich meaning of each title. When you fully grasp who the Lord is, in all His majesty and love, it’s a game changer!

Rick Rigsby: The Wisdom of a Third Grade Dropout

September 5, 2022

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Parents have a crucial obligation and responsibility to impart wisdom and sound advice to their kids. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Rick Rigsby boldly declares that the best wisdom he received was from his father, who was a third grade dropout. Rick was told to show up an hour early, be kind to people and that if he did a job, then do it right. The advice of Rigsby’s father has stayed with Rick to this day.

Christ-Centered Higher Education that Impacts the World with Truth – Part 1

August 18, 2022

Proverbs 1:7 declares that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Donald Sweeting, chancellor and former president of Colorado Christian University, explains that this biblical concept is foundational. In the face of our culture’s embrace of moral relativism, the CCU faculty unapologetically affirms the pursuit of Truth. The university boldly teaches competence in the context of developing character through a Christ-centered faith. It’s no wonder they’ve witnessed thirteen consecutive years of record enrollment in the face of a dramatic nine percent decline of universities nationwide.

Planting Shade Trees – Part 1

March 14, 2022

On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson reveals that his beloved father was the only one who gave his heart to Christ at a revival that cost the church $600. Not only did his dad go on to reach thousands as a traveling evangelist, but the Lord has used his son, James Dobson, Jr., to reach millions for Christ through his books and radio broadcasts. On today's program, his guest, speaker and comedian Dennis Swanberg, urges people of faith to be spiritual shade trees for the next generation by leaving a godly legacy. Psalm 1 describes the believer who delights in the Lord as a tree planted by streams of water.

Children: A Heritage from the Lord

July 19, 2021

Psalm 127:3 says, "Children are a heritage from the Lord." But Dr. Michael Youssef, founder of Leading the Way Ministries, insists that verse 1 provides essential context: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." When God is at the center of the family, He will grow, bless, guide, and protect it. Seek always His direction and your children are likely to emulate you into their adult years.

Stepping Away from the Common Life – Part 2

May 20, 2021

Augustine once said, "Hearts are restless, O God, until we find our rest in Thee." Former Indianapolis Colts football coach Tony Dungy, author of Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance, explains that once a man chooses the uncommon path to be in a right relationship with God, he will stand up for godly values in the culture, cherish his wife, and treasure his children. He won't simply follow the crowd. As Dungy says, if you put the Lord first, everything else falls into place.

Stepping Away from the Common Life – Part 1

May 19, 2021

Teenagers are often desperate to fit in and to be accepted by the "in" crowd. That's why sometimes they make bad decisions that lead to regret. Former Indianapolis Colts football coach Tony Dungy, author of Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance, points to the truth of Romans 12:2 ("Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."). Dungy challenges teens and adults to take the narrow road, the uncommon path; that is, Jesus is the only source of true fulfillment. Coach Dungy discusses this and much more, including his role as a mentor.

Controlling Your Tongue

May 14, 2021

Just as 1 Corinthians 13 is known as the "love chapter," and Hebrews 11 is the "faith chapter," James 3 is called the "tongue chapter." This passage describes how a horse is controlled by the bit in its¬†mouth; a ship by its rudder, and man is controlled by his tongue. Dr. James Dobson and guest R.T. Kendall, author of¬†Controlling the Tongue, remind us that we will have to give an account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word we have spoken.
