Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk

Throughout history, the biblical book of Genesis was considered an accurate and reliable record, but over the past 250 years, it has become one of the most controversial books of all time. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Dr. Del Tackett, creator of The Truth Project, continue discussing Del’s film, “Is Genesis History?,” and the evidence for creation. As part of his research for the film, Dr. Tackett interviewed several field scientists and geologists who point to the fact that evidence of the Genesis flood is present throughout the world. About Today's Guest: Dr. Del Tackett Dr. Del Tackett is the creator of the worldview curriculum The Truth Project. He served more than 20 years as an officer in the United States Air Force.

Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Sadly, a large percentage of the Christian community does not believe that Genesis is true history. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Dr. Del Tackett, the creator of The Truth Project, discuss Del’s documentary film, “Is Genesis History?,” and examine the scientific evidence for creation. They also review the most important biblical truth: that just as sin and death entered the world through one man, Adam, salvation and God’s grace came through one man, Jesus Christ.

Miracles are very difficult to explain and understand, and are therefore met with much skepticism and doubt. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Lee Strobel continue discussing Lee’s 2018 book, A Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural. They also share stories of God’s supernatural intervention, and attempt to tackle the question, "why does God allow bad things to happen?"

He was a journalist for fourteen years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois’ highest honors for both investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International.

Lee Strobel was once a narcissistic drunk, desperately lacking as a father to his kids and as a model husband to his wife, Leslie. Ironically, after she became a believer, Lee came to know the Lord after he tried to disprove the Resurrection for over two years. The avalanche of evidence pointing to our salvation was irrefutable. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and his good friend, renowned apologist and scholar Lee Strobel discuss his faith walk and the role of apologetics in evangelism. They also highlight the parallel of famous atheists of history – Nietzsche, Freud, Voltaire, and O’Haire – who were either fatherless or had bad relationships with their fathers.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Hillary Morgan Ferrer discuss her recent book, "Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality." Our culture has redefined the word love to mean approval of every imaginable sexual sin.

Dr. Clinton and Hillary address these questions and more, and encourage parents to educate themselves and empower their children to challenge cultural lies about sexuality. About Today's Guest: Hillary Morgan Ferrer Hillary Morgan Ferrer is the founder and CEO of Mama Bear Apologetics. She is also chief author and editor of the best-selling "Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies," and "Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: Empowering Your Kids to Understand and Live Out God’s Design."

According to research, 59 percent of all high school graduates leave the church. The statistic begs the question, “How can we help our children cultivate a faith of their own, and develop a personal relationship with the Lord?” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and his guest, Hillary Morgan Ferrer, discuss her book, "Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies." The world’s most potent lies are wrapped in partial truths. Hillary stresses the importance of teaching kids to think biblically. She believes this is crucial and empowers parents with the “ROAR” method in identifying and analyzing truth from fiction. Recognize the message. Offer discernment. Argue for a healthier approach. And finally, reinforce these ideas through discussion. About Today's Guest: Hillary Morgan Ferrer Hillary Morgan Ferrer is the founder and CEO of Mama Bear Apologetics.

In his book, "Bringing Back the Black-Robed Regiment," he urges today’s clergymen to emulate the patriot pastors of America’s birth.

Sissy Goff, a counselor and author of "Raising Worry-Free Girls," says anxiety always involves an overestimation of the problem, and an underestimation of self. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she warns parents not to rescue their daughter, which only serves to validate her anxiety. In essence, a parent might say, “You’re right, sweetheart, your concern is too big and you’re too small. You can't do it.” Instead, it’s critical to tell her, “You are capable. And I believe in you!” That will build her confidence, empowering her to become more resilient and independent.

Since 1993, Sissy has been helping girls and their parents find confidence in who they are, and hope in who God is creating them to be.

Even though he grew up as a preacher’s kid, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt didn’t completely turn his life over to Christ until he was in college. Today, the father of six, says, “Everything in this world is meaningless compared to our relationship with the Lord.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Governor Stitt, known as the most pro-life governor in the country, says he signed the toughest abortion ban in America which protects babies from the moment of conception. He thinks it's simply barbaric that states like Colorado and New York legalized abortion on demand up to the moment of birth. His message to a woman who is in a crisis pregnancy: God has a redemptive plan for you and your baby. About Today's Guest: Governor Kevin Stitt Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, a Republican, was elected in 2018 in his first bid for elected office of any kind. He is a fourth-generation Oklahoman and a graduate of Oklahoma State University. In 2000, he founded Gateway Mortgage Group in Tulsa, Oklahoma with only $1,000 and one computer. He has grown the business into a nationwide mortgage company, operating in 42 states with $20 billion in residential mortgages. On May 25, 2022, Stitt signed into state law the most protective abortion ban in America. The new law protects babies in Oklahoma from the moment of conception, and, like the Texas Heartbeat Act, it includes a private right of action as enforcement. A preacher’s kid, Kevin committed his life to Christ while in college. He and his wife, Sarah, have been married for 24 years and have six children. They are actively involved in Woodlake Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Believing the Bible addresses every subject, including politics, Dan dresses in full period-piece regalia and holds certified Revolutionary War artifacts as he speaks to groups around the country about the first black-robed regiment, who were brave enough to preach from the pulpit about spiritual and civil liberties. Dan and his wife, Pam, have been married since 1981 and have two adult children and six grandchildren. Today, Dan and Pam raise horses on 30 acres just west of Yukon, OK, where they live in a log house they built themselves.

In a wave of successive life chapters, Margaret Feinberg battled aggressive cancer, chronic pain and financial hardship. During those trials, she learned that she could either “cling to her crisis or cling to Christ.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Margaret candidly explains that faith is not the absence of doubt. The thorns in our lives should drive us back to God, Who is our refuge and strength. Contrary to secular claims, we can’t experience transformative faith without sacrifice, suffering, and service. In her book, "More Power To You," Margaret shares that she has learned to pray the simple declaration: “God is good. God is on the throne. Breathe in, breathe out.” Listen to the Full Broadcast: https://www.drjamesdobson.org/broadcasts/elevate-your-faith-in-god-and-find-real-joy-in-your-life
