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, the male role has been minimized, and to our detriment, has eroded a man’s sense of self-worth and societal purpose. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his fascinating discussion with Gilder about his book, Men and Marriage. 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.” God’s plan is perfect, and we would do well to adhere to it!

As a parent, do you have a plan for how you’re raising your children? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his passionate discussion with Dr. George Barna about his book, Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child’s Heart, Mind and Soul. If we, as parents, do not fulfill our God-given privilege of guiding the development of our children, based on the Christian faith, we will leave them to the mercy of a fallen world. We must not continue to outsource our parental obligations to the secular culture, or else we’ll have to be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Science can be used to prove that life does begin at conception. Coupled with Deuteronomy 5:17, one of God’s commandments which clearly states, “Thou shalt not kill,” one can conclude that abortion is wrong. Today on Family Talk, we will listen to an insightful presentation from Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, as he calls us to stand firm in our God-given obligation to defend the sanctity of human life, and to be bold in fighting for the defenseless pre-born. Listen as Tony challenges us to “rededicate ourselves to this battle for true freedom – the freedom that celebrates life and refuses to be silent while it’s being destroyed.”

Married or not, we have all heard horror stories from the perspective of a mother or daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his critical discussion with author Annie Chapman about her book, The Mother-In-Law Dance. Annie shares that there is nothing quite so unattractive as a jealous mother or an insecure wife. To help guard against these emotions, Colossians 3:12-13 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Don’t miss this crucial episode about the healthy boundaries that are necessary between a mother and her son’s wife.

Perhaps one of the more difficult relationships to manage in life is between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson takes on this delicate subject with musician and author, Annie Chapman, as they discuss her book entitled, The Mother-In-Law Dance: Can Two Women Love the Same Man and Still Get Along? Matthew 11:29-30 says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Annie’s invaluable advice models this character of Jesus. Being gentle and humble in spirit may be the best way for mothers and their daughters-in-law to maintain a healthy family dynamic.

On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Darlene Rose, who was a missionary in Papua New Guinea, continues to share about the horrible conditions she lived through in a Japanese prison camp during WWII.

She stated, “They could lock me in that cell but they could not lock my Lord out!” Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” It’s one thing to say you believe these words of the Bible, but another to take them to heart in the face of unthinkable conditions as a prisoner of war, and also losing your husband. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Darlene Rose, a missionary in the Pacific Islands during World War II, recounts the promises of God that she clung to during the horrible trials she was made to endure.
