A Visit to the Shores of Normandy - I
June 5, 2024
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.

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.”

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.

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.

Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his riveting discussion with Black Hawk Down hero, Jeff Struecker about his book, The Road to Unafraid, and his experiences as a U.S. Army Major and Chaplain. As Americans, we must remember that brave soldiers ran through bullets and gunfire because they loved their brothers in arms more than they loved their own lives. “Let us not forget,” Jeff said, “Our freedom is very cheap if it wasn’t for that kind of love!”

Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It’s one thing to read these words of the Bible, but another to believe them in the midst of war and facing imminent death. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with retired Major and Chaplain, Jeff Struecker about his 22-year career in the U.S. Army. You’ll hear of Jeff’s first encounter with Jesus, through the intentional outreach of his neighbors, and how God then led him to fight bravely for this country. On this special Memorial Day program, Chaplain Struecker gives God all the glory for the supernatural peace he experienced on the battlefields as a survivor of “Black Hawk Down.”

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his bold and dynamic conversation with Dr. Joe McIlhaney, author and a board-certified OB/GYN. Dr. McIlhaney shares the horrifying curriculum being taught under the banner of comprehensive sex education, and explains the unthinkable price society is paying because we have believed the lies of the enemy instead of following the principles of the Bible. Romans 1:21 says, “For although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Do not shy away from your God-given responsibilities as a parent!

It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have to worry about what our children were being subjected to in schools, or what they might see as they are browsing the Internet. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with author Rebecca Hagelin as they discuss the daily battle parents face in protecting the innocence of their children. We must wake up and stop the busyness of life. Nothing shows our kids that we love them more than taking time to give them boundaries based on God’s Truth.
