How to Change for the Better
July 7, 2023
No matter your background or spiritual upbringing, you may have experienced an addiction of some sort, or know someone who has. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with author and speaker, Becky Tirabassi, to discuss her story of how she hit rock bottom by the age of 21. She quotes 1 John 1:9, which says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Learn about Becky’s radical life transformation from a broken life filled with addiction, to now, over 20 years of feeling compelled to connect people to the living, loving God.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton continues his heartfelt discussion with Alex McFarland about the dire need to get God’s Truth in front of our kids. In a culture that is straying further away from the principles taught in the Bible, discover how Alex is investing in the next generation by teaching what is real, respectful, and relevant. In John 8, Jesus says, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises that He has plans for you; plans to prosper you, and not to harm you and that He has plans to give you a future and a hope. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews Alex McFarland, Christian teacher and apologist, to discuss God’s plan for each of us and our families. Parents, be aware that the devil seeks to confuse and destroy all we know as true, and the battle is raging to protect the very souls of our children. Listen and learn how standing up for God’s Truth can save us all from the enemy’s path of disappointment and destruction.

Over 247 years ago, 13 British colonies declared their independence from English rule, forming the United States of America. On this special Independence Day edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson recites a stirring rendition of a letter written by columnist and editor, Don Feder, entitled “Patriots Prayer.” Join us as we are reminded that our founding fathers sought God and the principles of the Bible as the basis upon which to build our great new nation. In addition, be empowered to teach your children what American patriotism is, and why it defines America as “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy so many freedoms and liberties that we dare not take for granted. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer interviews Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, about the ideals and principles upon which our great nation was founded. Let us never forget that our founding fathers leaned heavily on God and their Judeo-Christian heritage as they completed the final draft of the Declaration of Independence 247 years ago. It is the very reason why we, as Americans, can and do celebrate the 4th of July and call our nation “the land of the free!”

In an ever-changing society that is filled with the busyness of life and all its distractions, we, as parents, need to take a serious inventory of our relationships—first with God, and then with our kids. Are these relationships healthy and thriving? Do you have teens who are rebellious and distant? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton dives into this subject with author and co-founder of Heartlight Ministries, Mark Gregston. They also discuss the terrible results that can occur in the absence of strong relationships.

According to Scripture, John the Baptist prepared the way for the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his discussion with the late Pat Robertson as he shares how “preparing the way” became the mission statement for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which he founded. Learn more about this extraordinary man of God and the lasting legacy he built for generations to come. 2 Timothy 4:7 says it all, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

It is said that the Lord moves in mysterious ways. Find out how deeply this statement embedded itself in the life of the late religious broadcast icon, Pat Robertson, and how it moved him to follow Jesus and further God’s Kingdom through media and politics. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson discusses with Pat the journey God laid out for him since 1960, and how the Lord had showed Himself faithful. Join us in honoring the life and times of Pat Robertson, a true Christian soldier who was on fire for the Lord.

When Roe v. Wade crumbled to the ground on June 24, 2022, it was the beginning of the end of a decades-long battle. While the reversal of this wicked law was ruled through the Supreme Court, it was also thanks to the pro-life pioneers, past and present, some who are even deceased, who took a stand for the sanctity of human life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews John Stemberger about his book, Legacy of Life: Honoring Fifty of the Greatest Pro-Life Leaders of the Last Fifty Years, an ode to those who helped make a post-Roe America possible, including our own Dr. James Dobson. Learn more about the giants within the pro-life movement, and why we must also stand to defend and protect the sanctity of life for mothers and their unborn babies “for such a time as this.”
June 26, 2023
Did you know that in a study of biologists polled from around the world, 96% agreed that human life begins at conception? Despite this overwhelming statistic that supports the pro-life position, we still battle the denial of this fact by those who want to destroy human life through abortion. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton discusses this delicate but serious topic with Dr. Ingrid Skop (pronounced Skh-ah-p), vice president and director of medical affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Dr. Skop explains that without knowledge of the truth about abortion, chemical abortion, and the morning after pill, women could be putting their lives in jeopardy, in addition to the lives of their unborn children.
