On November 8th, Americans cast their ballots for the midterm elections. There was a lot at stake with abortion rights hanging in the balance after the landmark overturning of Roe v. Wade in June. In addition, governorships and seats in both the U.S. House and Senate were up for grabs in several states. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Gary Bauer, vice president of public policy at the JDFI, discuss the outcome of the recent election and what the future holds for our country.
The problem in our culture is simple. Like the Israelites in Judges 17:6, everyone is doing what is right in his or her own eyes. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Christian radio host Janet Parshall says that anytime people search for their significance apart from the Lord, it leads to sinful chaos.

If Christians want God-honoring, pro-family policies re-established and maintained in our nation, we must make our voices heard at the polls.
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.

They examine the story of Elijah, and Dr. Jeffress shares how to discover God’s unique purpose for your life, as well as the need for believers to influence our society, and what it means to be “salt and light.”

When Ronald Reagan campaigned for President of the United States, he said, "I believe this country hungers and thirsts for a spiritual revival." Nothing could be more accurate today. On today's edition of Family Talk, guest speaker Bob Vander Plaats, President of the Iowa-based public policy organization, The Family Leader, urges citizens to engage the Body of Christ and anchor it with prayer.
