In honor of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, Dr. Dobson shares about his perseverance that eventually led to him becoming President of the United States.
Earlier this month, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump participated in the annual lighting of the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse in President’s Park. This event has become part of our “civic religion.” Its Christian roots are obvious, but the gospel of Jesus Christ has faded a bit into the background. As America has become more diverse, a consensus has grown suggesting it would be inappropriate to be too overtly Christian at the tree lighting. In December 2024, then-President Biden lit the tree and dedicated it to “A Season of Peace and Light.” He spoke of “the peace we feel as we pause and reflect on our blessings and the light—the light we see as we gather with loved ones that cherish our time together.” He then referred to a phrase in the Christmas carol “O Holy Night” that says, “His law is love, and His gospel is peace.” The “His” in the song obviously refers to Jesus, but apparently saying the name of Christ would be in bad taste in diverse America. At the very end, God did get a shout-out. Biden ended with the exhortation, “And may God bless you all. And may God protect—may God ...
We have just learned that there was an orchestrated conspiracy launched in 2021 at the highest levels of our government.
On the Fourth of July, President Trump signed into law what he named the “one big beautiful bill” — the debate leading into its final passage was emotional and divisive.
We join the American people in thanking God that the US military was able to strike Iranian nuclear sites on June 21. One of the world’s most dangerous regimes must not be allowed to have the world’s most deadly weapons. The operation was carried out flawlessly and with precision. Miraculously, it has been reported that the Iranian military was unable to fire one missile at US aircraft before those planes had left Iranian air space.
Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares personal memories from his time with President Ronald Reagan, including a surprising encounter at the inaugural ball and meaningful conversations in the Cabinet Room. You’ll hear touching stories about Reagan’s passion for family values and his lasting impact on American policy.
We do have one warning! Christians must not conclude that their work is done. The battle to save and preserve our country as “one nation under God” will continue to rage. We urge you to pray for the safety of President-elect Trump and his team. We also implore pastors and church leaders to boldly lead their flocks into the public square and stand firm for faith, family, and freedom.
Our countdown to the election is over, and the results are in. As you know, this tumultuous election year ended on November 5 with a resounding victory for the Trump-Vance ticket over Harris-Walz.
The final Electoral College count was 312 to 226, and Trump is now winning the popular vote by more than 3.2 million. No Republican president has accomplished this since 2004. In addition, he enjoys a clear majority in the US Senate and a likely narrow majority in the House of Representatives.
We are now in the closing argument phase of the presidential campaign. Candidates are presenting their most compelling cases for why still undecided voters should choose them.
Donald Trump is outlining what his second term would look like. He is pushing
• tax cuts for working and middle-class Americans,
• a secure border,
• ending inflation,
• energy independence, and
• protecting religious liberty and free speech.
There is always an October surprise in every election, and we may have just experienced it. More on that later.
The presidential campaigns are deploying resources and crafting messages to clarify the choice before us. Former President Donald Trump spent half an hour as a McDonald’s employee, effectively turning it into “Donald’s” as he served Pennsylvania families burgers and fries. At a rally in the same state, steel workers gathered around him and gave him a hard hat, insisting that Trump saved the steel industry. Then Trump showed his support of the American people by attending an NFL game. The stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”
