God's Spirit Within the Heart of America

Thanksgiving Day will soon be upon us. It is a time to remember, and tell our children about the forebears who first came to these shores. It grieves me to know that many boys and girls in public schools are being taught that Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful, but they are not told for whom or what to be thankful. Many educators in public schools are prohibited from teaching gratitude to God or about the precious homeland He gave to us. Many will be taught that the settlers set aside a day to show gratefulness to the "Indians" who showed them how to plant corn. That misses the mark by a mile.

Vote Your Values

Dear Friend,As we approach the November 5th election, it is a watershed moment for our country. Dr. James Dobson wrote the following words before the 2020 election, and I am convinced that his compelling message is even more relevant today.

Dr. James Dobson: Your Vote Matters!

Since my most recent letter to you, the culture has rolled on at a frantic pace.

Reuniting America

Dear Friend,I am writing this letter days after our former president, Donald J. Trump, was the target of an attempted assassination. In God's divine providence, the bullets that were fired at President Trump narrowly missed their mark. Tragically, one bullet struck an attendee, Corey Comperatore, as he courageously shielded his wife and two daughters from the assassin's assault. He died heroically, protecting his loved ones. Two other bystanders were also seriously injured in the attack. Words cannot fully express the emotions that I felt as I watched this horrific scene unfold.

Introducing the Dobson Culture Center

Dear Friend, Approximately 248 years ago, as brave men and women fought valiantly for our country's freedom, Thomas Paine wrote these familiar words that still possess profound relevance:

Defending Israel

Dear Friend,Greetings from Washington D.C. My good friend and colleague, Dr. James Dobson, has asked me to write this month's letter on a topic that is critically important to both of us—the uprisings against Israel and the Judeo-Christian values that form the foundation of our country.
