Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do? | Featured Broadcast
In his 20’s, JP Pokluda drove a Jaguar, lived in a high-rise condo, and loved the club scene. By his own admission, he was a materialistic alcoholic who was addicted to sex and pornography. JP shares how God radically transformed him, calling him to a liberating life of holiness. In his new book entitled "Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?" JP invites fellow believers to counter their lust with self-control, their pride with humility, their anger with forgiveness, and their greed with generosity. Heed the call of Romans 12:2 – “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Outdated Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed with Guest JP Pokluda
When most Christian singles date, they often follow the road of secular culture. They put emotions ahead of biblical principles. On today’s edition of Family Talk, JP Pokluda, senior pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, points to 1 Timothy 4:12, which says, “Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” The author of "Outdated: Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed" says you should date someone long enough to examine those same five attributes. Does the person you are interested in act and speak in a God-honoring way? Is he or she committed to purity before marriage?
About Today's Guest: JP Pokluda
JP Pokluda is the lead pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas. He previously served as the leader of The Porch, a ministry which grew to be the largest weekly young adult gathering of its kind in the country. JP didn’t come to understand the grace of the gospel until his early twenties after being involved in several different denominational churches. This ignited a desire in him to inspire young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ, and unleash them to change the world. JP is the author of "Welcome to Adulting," "Welcoming the Future Church," "Outdated," and "Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do"? He is married to Monica, and they have three children.

Priests and People for Life - Part 2 with Guest Frank Pavone
During His earthly ministry, Jesus reached out to the marginalized of His day – the lepers, the Samaritans, and the tax collectors. Inspired by Jesus’ example, Frank Pavone has led Priests for Life for 30 years to save today’s most vulnerable, the pre-born. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pavone points out that if Jesus is Lord of human life, then babies in the womb are sacred. And, by definition, the mother, the father, the doctor, and the government should all affirm God’s highest creation. Matthew 25:40 says, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
About Today's Guest: Frank Pavone
Frank Pavone was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1988 by Cardinal John O’Connor, and served until November 6, 2022 when he was dismissed from the priesthood. He serves as the national director of Priests for Life. He also serves as president of the National Pro-life Religious Council, and as the national pastoral director of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign and of Rachel’s Vineyard, the world’s largest ministry of healing after abortion. Frank previously served on the pro-life and Catholic advisory boards of both of President Trump’s election campaigns, and he currently serves on former President Trump’s National Faith Advisory Board. Frank is the author of four books, "Ending Abortion: Not Just Fighting It," "Pro-life Reflections for Every Day," "Abolishing Abortion," and "Proclaiming the Message of Life." He resides in Florida.

Priests and People for Life - Part 1 with Guest Frank Pavone
In November 2022, Frank Pavone was notified by the Vatican that he was “defrocked” and officially removed from the priesthood. As a result, he could no longer be referred to as “Father,” or publicly celebrate Mass in Catholic churches. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Pavone discuss the implications of his removal, and why he now has a renewed interest and commitment to fight for the sanctity of life. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

Hearts of the Fathers: Modeling Leadership That Lasts - Part 2 with Guest Dr. Charles Crismier
Fathers have a crucial role as the head of their households: to love and cherish their wives, and guide and prepare their children for life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his interview with Dr. Charles Crismier on the subject of his book, "Hearts of the Fathers: Leaving a Legacy that Lasts." Dr. Crismier emphasizes that fathers cannot delegate their spiritual obligation to the pastor, youth minister, or Sunday School teacher. The responsibility to disciple his children falls squarely on his shoulders, as their dad. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Hearts of the Fathers: Modeling Leadership That Lasts - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Charles Crismier
In Malachi 4:6, God says that He’ll turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. But how will He do that? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Charles Crismier, the author of "Hearts of the Fathers: Leaving a Legacy that Lasts," insists that there’s only one way that will happen. If the hearts of Christian fathers are turned back to their Heavenly Father, only then will these newly equipped dads be able to model that kind of love to their kids.

Taking the Next Steps: Marching in a Post-Roe America with Guest Jeanne Mancini
Some pro-lifers have mistakenly concluded that since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court last year, there would no longer be a March for Life in Washington, D.C. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, explains that while Roe has been reversed, the battle has just begun for the sanctity of life. Not only do the March for Life organizers want to make abortion unthinkable, but they hope to build a stronger safety net for women facing unexpected pregnancies. This includes maternity homes, pro-life pregnancy resource centers and compassion for those who are in crisis. Since some “blue states” have championed partial-birth abortions, there is obviously so much work left to be done.
About Today's Guest: Jeanne Mancini
Jeanne Mancini is president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund where she proudly directs the small non-profit organization committed to restoring a culture of life in the United States, most notably through the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., held on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Band of Brothers: Stronger Together with Guest Dennis Swanberg
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Christian comedian Dennis Swanberg says that many men are lonely and they struggle with regret and secret fears. Proverbs 27:17 declares, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” That’s why all Christian men need to resist the temptation to isolate, and should find a trustworthy accountability partner. Swanberg points to the biblical examples of Paul and Luke as well as Silas and Timothy. When men confess their sins in transparency to God and to one another, they can be healed.

Praying For Your Family with Guest Pastor Jack Hayford
Exodus 28:29 records that Aaron, the high priest, entered into the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle. He carried forth the names of the 12 sons of Israel as a memorial to the Lord. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Pastor Jack Hayford reveals that his dad was so moved by that image from the Scriptures that every morning his mom and dad brought before the Lord not only the names of their own children, but also any person who had the same last name. Providentially, they heard first-hand from three separate people who shared their name, who crossed their paths and testified that they had personally received Christ in the last few months.
About Today's Guest: Pastor Jack Hayford
Pastor Jack Hayford was a pastor, author, and chancellor emeritus of The King’s University in Southlake, Texas, which he founded in 1997. He was formerly the founding pastor of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California, and was the fourth president of the Foursquare Church. He grew The Church on the Way from a small congregation with only 18 members to become one of the first megachurches in America. By the mid-1980s, membership exceeded 10,000. A prolific and best-selling writer, Pastor Jack was the author or co-author of more than fifty books and composed 500 hymns and choruses, including the internationally known and widely recorded “Majesty.” Pastor Jack was an acknowledged “bridge-builder,” helping to forge healthy bonds among all segments of the Body of Christ. He is recognized for his balance in preaching the Word, avoiding extremes while not compromising the demands of truth. In 2017, Pastor Jack’s wife, Anna, went home to be with the Lord. Together, they had four grown children, eleven grandchildren, and seventeen great grandchildren. A year after Anna’s death, Jack was wed to Valarie. The couple lived happily in the San Fernando Valley until Pastor Jack’s passing on January 8, 2023.

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, a man's role has been minimized.

They also talk about gender roles in society and how a man’s role is not defined biologically, but culturally. 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.”

Listen to Family Talk on Alexa: http://www.drjamesdobson.org/alexammencement speech at the California Maritime Academy. Rick told the graduates his message was simple: “To whom much is given, much is required.” He explained, “It's not about making a nice impression. It's about making an impact. It’s about doing your best. I learned how to make an impact from the wisest person I ever met in my life. The wisest person I've ever met in my life, who taught me to combine knowledge and wisdom to make an impact, was my father, a third grade dropout.
Rick explained that his father left school in the third grade to help out on the family farm. In the midst of Jim Crowism, he taught himself how to read and write. “My father decided he was going to stand and be a man. Not a black man, but a man. He literally challenged himself to be the best that he could all the days of his life.” Rick said that even though he has four degrees, and his brother is a judge, their father was the smartest one in their family. He often quoted Michelangelo who said, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” And it was their mother who would quote Henry Ford who said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” Rick noted, “You see, it takes knowledge and wisdom combined to grow your influence so that you will make an impact.”
Rick further shared several of the wise lessons, His father cited Jonathan Swift, an English cleric and essayist, who said, “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Another fatherly piece of wisdom: “You'd rather be an hour early, than a minute late.” Even though it only took 15 minutes for Rick’s father to get to work as a cook at California Maritime Academy, he left at 3:45 am every workday for 30 years for a shift that began at 5:00am. When Rick’s mother asked him why he left so early, he said, “Maybe one of my boys will catch me in the act of excellence.” Rick quoted Aristotle, [interpreted by Will Durant], who said, “You are what you repeatedly do. He said, “My daddy, a third-grade dropout, a cook, was modeling excellence for his boys, combining academic knowledge and old school wisdom. That’s what makes an impact.”
Another lesson Rick learned from his father: “Be kind to people. Kind deeds are never lost.” He cited George Washington Carver who said, “When common people do common things in uncommon ways, they command the attention of the world.” Rick explained that his father also emphasized the importance of servanthood. His father told him, “Make sure your servant’s towel is bigger than your ego. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. Pride is the burden of a foolish person. You will never be a great shipmate, you will never be a great executive, you'll never be a great teammate if it's all about you. Make sure that your servant’s towel is always big.” He cited UCLA basketball Coach John Wooden whose team earned 10 NCAA championships during his 12 years of coaching. Despite being the coach of a successful basketball team, during the week, Coach Wooden would grab a broom from the closet and sweep his own gym floor. Rick said, “If you want to make an impact, find your broom. Every day of your life, you find your broom. You grow your influence that way. That way you're attracting people so that you can impact them.”
said, “Son, if you're going to do a job, do it right. Good enough isn't good enough. If it can be better, better isn't good enough if it can be best.”
Rick then shared the wisdom he learned before and after his wife, Trina, passed away from breast cancer. When he and their two sons walked up to her casket, when he felt like he couldn’t go on and was completely lost, his father said three words that changed his life: “Son, just stand!” Rick told the graduating cadets: “You keep standing no matter how rough the sea. You keep standing. And I'm
not talking about just water. You keep standing. No matter what, you don't give up.”
He concluded his speech with a final story about his wife, Trina before her passing. Surrounded by pillows in their living room, their youngest son, Andrew, asked her to fold a shirt for him. Trina said, “Andrew, Mama is not always gonna be there to help you.” Rick explained, “She was saying goodbye. I was so moved that I waited for Andrew to leave, and I walked over.” In her last words to Rick, she told him, “It doesn't matter to me any longer how long I live. What matters to me most is how I live!” Directly addressing the graduates, Rick said “How you do anything is how you do everything. Look in those unlikeliest places for wisdom. Enhance your life everyday, seeking that wisdom and asking yourself every night, ‘How am I living?’”

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Jon and Marylois Gibson share practical advice on a marriage that lasts, having just celebrated their 50th anniversary. Throughout their relationship, the Gibsons have learned that love is not a feeling, but a commitment.

As they prayed together, the Lord revealed that the key was to serve each other. By putting the needs of the other ahead of their own, Jon and Marylois were transformed by God’s grace.
