How strong is your faith in the face of hardship? On this classic Family Talk broadcast, hear a powerful testimony from missionary Steve Saint. He shares the well-known story of his missionary father Nathan, who was killed by a native tribe in Ecuador. Steve explains how God burdened his heart for missions, ultimately leading him back to the same people who killed his dad.
Did you know that Dr. James Dobson loves to fish, fry tacos with his wife, Shirley, and watch football?
What if every home in America heard about Jesus Christ?
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his insightful conversation with Doug Spada about his book, Monday Morning Atheism. Doug points out that just as Jesus was a carpenter before starting His ministry, the Lord values work and the workplace. Doug also challenges us to integrate our home, faith, and vocation in a God-honoring way.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Doug Spada, founder and CEO of WorkLife, Inc. emphasizes that we spend more than 60% of our waking hours at work, so we need to make sure we bring God there with us.
Recently, four women’s collegiate volleyball teams made history by refusing to play against San Jose State University, a team with biological male Blair Fleming among its members.
A big development in this story just landed: a fifth volleyball team, from the University of Nevada, has joined them. Although university officials publicly declared weeks ago that their women’s team would play, the players recently came to a different decision.
They released this statement: “We demand that our right to safety and fair competition on the court be upheld. We refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes.”
Recently, we have been reminded that the earth we walk can be unstable ground. God speaks to this instability in Psalm 75:3: “When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars.”
This testimony is deeply relevant in our current national moment. We have watched as two consecutive hurricanes—Helene and Milton—have ravaged countless towns and cities in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Tragically, news outlets are reporting that Hurricane Helene caused a tremendous loss of life and around $50 billion worth of damage. The emotional, spiritual, and psychological costs of these disasters go far beyond any numerical statistic.
How do Christians respond to terrible events like these?
As we continue to remember the harrowing aftermath of 9/11, we must also never forget the One who gave His life to save us from our sins and conquer death. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his sobering conversation with Dr. Steve and Megan Scheibner. They explain their perspective of that harrowing day, and their renewed appreciation for Christ’s payment for our sins. 1 Peter 3:18 says, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” As Steve so eloquently states, “This is the oldest, most important love story ever told. Jesus died on the Cross for you! He is our substitutionary sacrifice. What are you going to do with that?”
On September 11, 2001, our beloved country experienced a horrific terrorist attack that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people. On that day, Dr. Steve Scheibner was scheduled to co-pilot American Airlines flight 11, the first plane that crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center, but his assignment was changed at the last minute. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews Dr. Steve and his wife, Megan, to talk about their experience on that horrendous day.
