The purported goal of 1960s-style feminism was to "free" women from their oppressive lifestyles. The late conservative leader, Phyllis Schlafly, and author Suzanne Venker explain why that notion was misleading from the start.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with the late Phyllis Schlafly, who was a renowned leader in the conservative movement in America, and her niece, Suzanne Venker, about their book entitled, The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know – and Men Can’t Say. They discuss the fallout our society has faced since the feminist movement of the 1960s and 70s, and how it has continued to deconstruct the family unit today.

Contrary to the popular phrase, “love is blind,” the late Dawson McAllister made it his mission to help people understand that this notion is false. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, we’ll listen as McAllister, who was a gifted speaker, shares God’s principles on what true love is and is not. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” If you’ve ever wondered what constitutes true love, the real kind that withstands the test of time, you won’t want to miss this program!

Keeping the initial interest and spark alive in a marriage can seem like an elusive task. What is the mysterious “it” factor that everyone seems to be after? On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and the late Jean Lush advise women on how to keep their “feminine mystique” strong by fostering their intellect, confidence, and their God-given attributes. Proverbs 31:10-11 says, “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far more than rubies.” God’s plan is perfect, and He purposefully created men and women to be uniquely different from one another.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his straight-forward discussion with Dr. Owen Strachan, author of Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel and the Way to Stop It. They remind us that “wokeness” is a potent blend of racism, moral relativism, and grievance. It undermines the unifying work of the Holy Spirit and therefore, is anti-gospel. As a Christian, be encouraged as Dr. Strachan offers a strategy by stating that the only way forward is speaking the truth in love with clarity and conviction. (Ephesians 4:15) We also need to pray for the Lord’s intervention to overcome the darkness that surrounds us.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Discover how God powerfully stepped into Kristen’s trial with His promise of life, and how He wants to do the same for you!
