On today's classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his spirit-filled discussion with the late Jo Berry, as she shares lessons from her book, Beloved Unbeliever: Loving Your Husband into the Faith. Be encouraged as Jo shares timeless teachings, revealing the indisputable directive that we must serve God rather than man. She also emphasizes that we have a biblical obligation as parents, to raise our children as unto the Lord.
1 Peter 3 counsels Christian wives of unbelieving husbands to win them to the faith through their purity and reverence rather than simply with words. Easier said than done. On today's classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson discusses this heartfelt dilemma with the late Jo Berry, author of Beloved Unbeliever: Loving Your Husband into the Faith. Jo gives hope to women with non-believing husbands, emphasizing that their (wives’) faith must be in Jesus Christ. It is He who can give hope to an unequally yoked couple, producing a fulfilling, delightful, and stable marriage, even if the husband never becomes a Christian.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his critical discussion with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council about our responsibilities as Christian citizens. Tony passionately shares that even though we are seeing evil becoming more prevalent, we are also experiencing God’s light becoming brighter. “People are hungry for the truth!” Perkins challenges us by stating, “It is never too late to invest in that which will live on beyond you!” Are you doing your part? Matthew 16:26 says, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
Every generation seems to bring with it greater change and more division within our society. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Tony shares that now is the time for Christians to stand firm in our faith as the enemy seeks to separate us from our source of strength, the Word of God. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his heartfelt discussion with author Jan Harrison about her book, Life After the Storm, and the unexpected passing of her son, James. Jan asks a profound question: How have you prepared for the inevitable storm clouds in your life? She urges Christians to become actively engaged in their relationship with Jesus through prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with believers. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
In 2010, Jan Harrison received the devastating news that her 27-year-old son, James, had died on the mission field in Sudan, Africa. Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Jan discuss this dark valley in her life. No matter how tragic the storm is, she encourages that God will provide for us. “He has already gone before, He knows the other side, He knows what we will need.” In John 16:33, Jesus says, “I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
The world today is full of hate and evil, and social media is playing right into the hands of the enemy as a tool to try to take down society. But Dr. Alveda King says, “Fear Not!” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh talks with Dr. King, who is the niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and founder of Alveda King Ministries and Speak for Life. Alveda passionately discusses her upbringing, and how she was taught to love God and our enemies. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Do you know a couple who are feeling anxious about the long-term stability of their marriage and wondering if they will be able to go the distance? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Rev. Bob Kraning concludes his classic message by sharing practical insights on how to make marriage work for the long-haul. In addition to seeking the Lord, Bob urges couples to agree to disagree, and make room for one another in their union.
Doesn’t it seem surprising to hear that a couple has been married for 20, 25, or even 30 years? On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Rev. Bob Kraning gives an enlightening message on marriage longevity. In a culture that has put marriage on the backburner, get ready for the truth of what makes a union stand the test of time. Mark 10: 6-9 says, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Brooke Rollins, the president and CEO of America First Policy Institute. Brooke shares her organization’s mission and blueprint to advance biblically-based, pro-family values in our country with the upcoming presidential election and beyond. Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Ephesians 2:8-9, says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.” Thanks to God's amazing gift of grace, flawed men and women everywhere can receive forgiveness for their sins. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Lee Strobel discuss his book, The Case for Grace, pointing out that Christianity is the only faith that offers this unmerited gift of God's grace.

Lee also shares his personal testimony about receiving this most undeserved gift from God.
Deception is growing and the enemy is fighting hard to keep these lies in the forefront of our minds. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his inspiring and thought-provoking discussion with Pastor Jack Hibbs about his latest book, Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s Lies. He reminds us not to make the mistake of thinking the church is immune to these lies. We must not only be hypervigilant ourselves, but be steadfast in sharing God’s Truth with those around us. 1 John 4:6 says, “We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
In a world where good has been exchanged for evil, we find ourselves in chaos and turmoil, clamoring for solid ground. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Pastor Jack Hibbs, founder and senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. Pastor Hibbs shares his testimony, as well as the opportunity to stand bold in the faith after he caused a stir on Capitol Hill for his prayer.
On this Good Friday edition of Family Talk, we’ll listen to Dr. James Dobson as he reads his March newsletter, appropriately titled, “Why the Need for a Savior.” Dr. Dobson will share his views on Easter, and why it is the most important occasion for all believers in Christ Jesus. So, whether you have known the Lord for years or perhaps you are still not quite sure who Jesus is, listen and learn about this Good News and how it provides the only explanation for why we are here and where we are going. Come celebrate the risen Lord and His promise of eternal life for all who believe!
Jesus is the only person in all of history with the ultimate power to defeat death and grant eternal life.

John 14:6 says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Discover the peace which surpasses all understanding and how faith in Christ alone can bring salvation.
Is your family honoring God with their media choices? Bob Waliszewski (pronounced Wall-eh-shess-key), former director of PluggedIn.com for over twenty-seven years, joins Dr. James Dobson on today’s edition of Family Talk. They discuss what to look for in today's movies, TV programs, video games, and more. Bob reveals that parents can't just hope their kids will make wise choices on their own when they're faced with peer pressure and temptation to consume media that celebrates worldly, sinful behavior.
2Psalm 46 reminds us to “be still and know God,” a concept easily lost in the constant busyness of our culture. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his conversation with John Eldredge about his book, Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad. John explains the dangers of a distracted, technology-addicted lifestyle, and suggests that we practice the "One Minute Pause,” along with soaking up God’s creation and turning off our phones. As we unplug from the "fight or flight" culture, our stress-triggered cortisol levels go down, and we can begin to learn how to cast our cares upon the Lord.
If men didn't grow up with fathers who validated and loved them, they often turn to women or even porn to find that affirmation. Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews John Eldredge, author of the best-selling book, Wild at Heart. They discuss the "father wound" that can manifest itself in a young boy’s life if he grows up without a strong male figure at home. Learn how Jesus came to heal that hurt in the lives of the brokenhearted as He sets the captives free.
In 1973, the landmark case Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in America. Then in 2022, we saw the reversal of that evil law, leaving each state to decide independently the legalities surrounding abortion. Today on Family Talk, Michele Bachmann continues her riveting discussion with Allan Parker, Jr., about how God called him to represent the two women whose cases resulted in abortion in America.
