As students go deeper in their Christian faith, they are often faced with the questions, "How do we know there's a God?," "What's the evidence for intelligent design?," and "How do we know that Scripture is true?"

Attendees will discover what the Bible says about abortion, evolution, gender identity, homosexuality, marriage, and pornography. If you have kids or grandkids in high school or College, today's program could change their life's trajectory.
The vast majority of young people do not believe in absolute truth, that Christ is divine, or that the Bible is the Living Word. No wonder 75% say they have no sense of purpose and over half struggle with depression. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, explains that after young adults graduate from the Summit's 2-week summer program, 86% have a biblical worldview compared to the 4% national average. They also become equipped to stand up for and defend truth , with a capital "T" , in College and beyond. When Dr. Dobson's son, Ryan, attended as a teen in 1987, it changed his life.

Why was the 2022 March for Life so well attended by enthusiastic high school kids, College students, and young adults from varied backgrounds? On today's edition of Family Talk, Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University, claims the reason is simple. These young people who are that vital next generation, grew up seeing the sonogram pictures of their baby brothers and sisters taped to the refrigerator door before they ever met them. Therefore, this new generation of pro-lifers rejects the lie that babies in the womb are just a clump of cells that you can get rid of without any remorse or guilt.
On today's edition of Family Talk, author John Rosemond shares tips from his book, Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child. When kids misbehave, he recommends the consequence of "kicking them out of the Garden of Eden." When the child comes home from school, his room is stripped bare to the essentials. No toys. No music. And he's going to live this way until his attitude improves, and remains improved for at least a month. It's showing confidence in your authority.
In the 1950s, the family structure was parent-centered. But since the 1970s, the family structure has been child-centered. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and his guest, John Rosemond, explain how this change in focus has been a disaster. The author of Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child, Rosemond throws frazzled parents a lifeline, encouraging them to return to a biblical method for raising and disciplining their kids that both instills respect and inspires obedience. Indeed, Rosemond cites studies that reveal that the happiest kids are the ones who are well-behaved.
As Christian parents, we have two primary responsibilities. The first is to evangelize our kids, revealing God's character through word and deed. The second, as our children's stewards, is to prayerfully release them back to the Lord. On today's program, Dr. James Dobson presents one of his favorite interviews from the Family Talk archives, a conversation he had with Jonathan and Wynter Pitts, just one year before Wynter's sudden passing. Together they examine the Pitts' book, She is Yours, which encourages moms and dads to breathe a sigh of relief because God is in control of their Daughters' lives. Abba is the one Who protects them, and He is the one Who will guide their future.
