Men and Marriage - Part 2 with Guest George Gilder
According to author George Gilder, a woman's contribution to the culture and the continuity of the human race is secure and even defined by biology. By contrast, the male role has been minimized, and to our detriment, has eroded a man’s sense of self-worth and societal purpose. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his fascinating discussion with Gilder about his book, "Men and Marriage." Genesis 1:27 declares, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them: male and female he created them.” God’s plan is perfect, and we would do well to adhere to it!

Men and Marriage - Part 1 with Guest George Gilder

A Clarion Call for Life with Guest Tony Perkins
Science can be used to prove that life does begin at conception. Coupled with Deuteronomy 5:17, one of God’s commandments which clearly states, “Thou shalt not kill,” one can conclude that abortion is wrong. Today on Family Talk, we will listen to an insightful presentation from Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, as he calls us to stand firm in our God-given obligation to defend the sanctity of human life, and to be bold in fighting for the defenseless pre-born. Listen as Tony challenges us to “rededicate ourselves to this battle for true freedom – the freedom that celebrates life and refuses to be silent while it’s being destroyed.”

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Don’t miss this crucial episode about the healthy boundaries that are necessary between a mother and her son’s wife!

The Toxic War on Masculinity - Part 1 with Guest Nancy Pearcey
“How do we know Christianity is true?” Having been born into a culturally Lutheran family, Nancy Pearcey expected for someone to be able to answer this question. However, that was not always the case. Today on Family Talk, Roger Marsh discusses with Nancy how this deep-seated personal search for truth set her feet upon a path that would lead her to research that not only proves Christianity is true, but that without it, our society spirals out of control. They also discuss Nancy’s latest book, The Toxic War on Masculinity, and the origins of culture’s warped view of men.

The Perilous Fight - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Ben Carson
In the words of Dr. Ben Carson, “The person that has the most to do with what happens to you, is you!” Coming from a life of poverty, and being a self-confessed, “horrible student,” Dr. Carson overcame the odds and rose to become one of the youngest chiefs of pediatric neurosurgery in the U.S. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with Dr. Carson about his numerous and highly celebrated accomplishments, despite his humble beginnings. Dr. Carson gives glory to God and his mother who refused to be a victim, which was a life-giving philosophy that she passed along to both her sons.
About Today's Guest: Dr. Ben Carson
Dr. Ben Carson is a retired neurosurgeon, politician and author who served as the 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021.

Dr. Carson became the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in 1984 at the age of 33, the then youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the United States. At retirement, he was professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. In 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute with a mission to promote and preserve individual and religious liberty, and help our country's most vulnerable find new hope, develop methods to decrease the federal government's role in society, and improve efficiency to best serve our nation's citizens.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jack Graham gives a presentation on one of those threats that has risen in popularity in recent years: socialism. He identifies its notable failures around the world, and explains why this ideology is in direct opposition to God’s Word.

A Visit to the Shores of Normandy - Part 2 with Dwight Anderson, Steve Reiter, and Henry Boswell
80 years ago today, many of the brave Allied soldiers who fought to liberate France from the axis of evil were tragically killed by German machine gunfire on the beaches of Normandy. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues to share personal memories from his visit to the Normandy American Cemetery in France, where 4,400 of those soldiers are buried. Listen to the inspiring story of an American soldier named Billy Harris, and hear from President Ronald Reagan in 1984, as he commemorated the 40th anniversary of D-Day.
About Today's Guests:
Dwight "Andy" Anderson was the director of Normandy Visitors Service for the American Battle Monuments Commission. During the Dobson’s visit to France, Anderson served as their tour guide and provided a wealth of information.
Steve Reiter is a media production consultant and coach who has worked in internationally syndicated radio for over 22 years. He is also the founder and president of the Never Alone Project, a non-profit organization working to pass legislation that would allow at least one guest in the hospital, with no time limit, to ensure that a loved one would not have to die alone or make medical decisions without assistance.

A Visit to the Shores of Normandy - Part 1 with Dwight Anderson, Steve Reiter, and Henry Boswell
On June 6, 1944, over 150,000 American, British, and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate the people of France during World War II, a day now known as D-Day. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares personal memories from his visit in 2010 to the Normandy American Cemetery in France, where 4,400 Allied soldiers are buried. The opening scene of the film, Saving Private Ryan, captured both the raw horror and the indisputable heroism of the men who sacrificed their lives for freedom on that shore 80 years ago. You’ll be transported to that moment in time as Dr. Dobson and his guests honor those courageous men who lost their lives.

Trail Ready: Guiding Young Men to Honor God - Part 2 with Guest Mark Hancock
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his heartfelt discussion with Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, about the serious “tug-of-war” taking place in the family, especially within the relationship of fathers and their sons. Our boys need to know that their dads are there for them, and are invested in their lives. Fathers need to model for their sons the biblical truths on which to stand, and how to live them out. The rewards will prove invaluable for generations to come. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Trail Ready: Guiding Young Men to Honor God - Part 1 with Guest Mark Hancock
According to Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, we are outsourcing so much within our society, but one thing we cannot outsource is being a dad! Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Mark about his new devotional entitled, "Trail Ready: 101 Devotions for Dads with Boys." Gary and Mark discuss the biblical definition of fatherhood, and the destructive societal pitfalls we have been experiencing due to diminishing the integral role that dads play in raising boys. Instead of shaming fathers for what they have not done, we need to remind them of who God created them to be.

More God, Less Crime - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Byron Johnson
Blackballed for his faith early in his academic career, Dr. Byron Johnson, author of "More God, Less Crime," did not shy away or stand down from his outspoken Christian worldview. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the Hon. Michele Bachmann talks with Dr. Johnson about his time as a university professor on secular campuses. Even in the face of such discrimination against people of faith, God blessed Dr. Johnson’s earnest research which culminated in his meteoric rise in the world of academia. The words of the Bible will not be silenced!
