Dr. Dobson's October 2021 Newsletter: The God-Ordained Gift of Marriage & Family
It’s critical for moms and dads to understand how their boys are intricately designed by God. Today, Family Talk is featuring one of Dr. Dobson’s classic ‘Bringing Up Boys’ teaching series. He focused on what parents can do to mend a child’s broken or wounded spirit. Dr. Dobson also addressed how bullying, peer pressure, and entertainment can warp the minds of our kids.
Dr. Dobson laments the lack of politeness and civility in our culture today, and emphasizes the importance of training up children well grounded in manners.
For Father’s Day 2019, Dr. Dobson was invited to speak at Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Today on Family Talk, you will hear his conversation with his longtime friend, Pastor Ed Young. Dr. Dobson talked about the impact of his dad on his life, and illustrated why boys and girls desperately desire a meaningful relationship with their father.
America's "Sexual Revolution" in the 60's and 70's was touted as a liberating crusade, but in reality, it warped God's design for human sexuality. Dr. James Dobson considers the continuing cultural fallout from this radical ideology with Lori Kuykendall, President and CEO of the Medical Center for Sexual Health. They discuss some specific ways that this movement has hurt our children, and Lori shares her heart for abstinence education.
On today’s broadcast, Dr. Dobson welcomes Pastor Jentezen Franklin to the Family Talk studios. Pastor Franklin is the author of the new book Love Like You’ve Never Been Hurt. He walks though his early life and decision for Christ, and how his ministry and church were started.
The central theme throughout the entire Bible is God’s unconditional love. Today on Family Talk, Dr. Dobson concludes his conversation with Pastor Jentezen Franklin, author of Love Like You’ve Never Been Hurt. The two talk about the power love has to transform hearts, heal brokenness, and bring about restoration.
Today on this special edition of Family Talk, Dr. Dobson honors the life and legacy of President George H.W. Bush. He reflects on their many years of friendship, then replays his interview with our 41st President from 1992. Their conversation was quite prophetic as it focused on the importance of supporting the family, and the dangers of pornography and abortion in society.
Over four decades, Dr. James Dobson has warned us about menacing threats to the traditional family. Today, he shares his current concerns as a guest on "The Suzanne Venker Show." They discuss the societal biases against traditional marriage and parenting, the key roles moms and dads play in the lives of their children, and how parents can still raise God-honoring kids—even in a "progressive" society.
The institution of the family is in danger of collapsing under the pressures from this progressive culture. Today on Family Talk, Dr. Dobson addresses these threats against parents and marriages through his recent appearance on the CMDA Matters podcast. He highlights a list of moral issues that are critical to America’s future, and explains what we can do to fight for righteousness in our society.
