April 2024 Newsletter: The American Family- Back to Basics
Is your family honoring God with their media choices? Bob Waliszewski (pronounced Wall-eh-shess-key), former director of PluggedIn.com for over twenty-seven years, joins Dr. James Dobson on today’s edition of Family Talk. They discuss what to look for in today's movies, TV programs, video games, and more. Bob reveals that parents can't just hope their kids will make wise choices on their own when they're faced with peer pressure and temptation to consume media that celebrates worldly, sinful behavior.
Caring for an aging loved one is a stressful and draining task. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Grace Chavis will share about her experience supporting her ailing parents and in-laws for a number of years. She also gives advice for those who are in that season on how to handle their family members with grace and love. Proverbs 16:31 says, “Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.”
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his fascinating discussion with David and Jason Benham, entrepreneurs and authors of the book, Whatever the Cost. According to the brothers, Christians are called to demolish all that goes against God’s best, even in the face of bold persecution.
Twin brothers David and Jason Benham are former professional baseball players, as well as nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs, and best-selling authors. Their rise to prominence came with their first company, which grew to 100 offices in 35 states, and catapulted them onto the national stage. David and Jason’s success eventually landed them a reality show with HGTV in 2014 that was soon canceled when activist groups pressured the network to fire them because of their commitment to biblical values. Appearing on numerous media outlets, the brothers encouraged people to stand for what they believe, whatever the cost. Since that time, they have started many businesses and launched an online coaching series called “Expert Ownership.” David and Jason reside in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their families.
In Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he commands them to flee from sexual immorality. Similarly, young people today must heed this warning in order to avoid the evils that exist online. On this edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson welcomes back to the studio, Donna Rice Hughes, CEO of Enough is Enough. Donna shares her organization’s latest achievements in making the Internet safer, and their continued fight against pornography and cyberbullying.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews Donna Rice Hughes and discusses the early years of her life that culminated in betrayal and sexual exploitation. Donna proudly shares how God used those events to get her attention and reverse the trajectory of her life. Hear Donna’s journey back to redemption, and all that she is doing as CEO of Enough is Enough, an organization dedicated to making the Internet safer for everyone.
John and Marlene Strege (pronounced stre-gee) did more than become the first couple to adopt a frozen embryo and carry it through to the birth of their daughter, Hannah. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his enlightening discussion with John, Marlene, and Hannah about how they stood firmly on God’s biblical principles and fought for the rights of the unborn. Whether in the womb or as a frozen, fertilized egg, hear how Marlene testified boldly that embryos are human beings, and should not be treated as “spare parts” in an attempt to save another life. It is murder just like abortion.
Did you know that there are roughly 1.25 million frozen embryos, just waiting for a chance at life? On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer talks with John and Marlene Strege (pronounced stre-gee), about their story of being the first couple to “adopt” a frozen, fertilized egg and carry it through a successful pregnancy. The result of that endeavor was the birth of their daughter, Hannah, who is now a young adult with dreams of opening her own adoption counseling practice.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his heartfelt conversation with Jim Kelly and his wife, Jill, as they reveal how truth and tragedy brought salvation to their lives and great healing to their marriage. John 8:31 says, “…If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Discover the hope of Jesus Christ that saved the Kellys, and how they were then able to use the passing of their son, Hunter, to build a ministry that continues to help thousands of hurting people.
