Ever since the bad law known as Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, the current administration has wanted to codify the right to an abortion that would allow this shameful act from conception through birth and perhaps beyond. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Janet Porter, founder of Faith2Action, quotes Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He said, “Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless if we are silent in this hour.” The people of God need to rise up in defense of the unborn.

Bringing Up Boys
With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.

After Roe v. Wade crumbled to the ground on June 24, 2022, nearly 20 states passed laws protecting unborn babies. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Janet Porter, the architect behind The Heartbeat Bill, rejoices that so many states have protected babies. A federal Heartbeat bill would protect children in the womb, even in the darkest blue states like California, Michigan, and New York. Proverbs 24:11 commands us to “rescue those being carried away to slaughter.” The church needs to rise up now and be a voice for the voiceless.

Did you know that according to the American Bible Society, 2022 was the lowest year for biblical literacy in its 120 year polling history? On today’s edition of Family Talk, David Barton, the founder and president of WallBuilders, highlights American heroes whose convictions were firmly planted in the Bible. He also stresses the need for biblically minded Christians to engage in politics at the local levels because from there, we will be able to influence culture at the national level. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

As a college freshman, Rebekah Hagan found herself pregnant with her second child. Already an unwed mother to her son, Eli, whom she had when she was seventeen, Rebekah was overwhelmed and fearful. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she shares with our own Dr. Tim Clinton that she proceeded with the steps to have a medication abortion with the rationale that she would rather face her Heavenly Father later, than her earthly father’s disapproval now. After taking the abortion pill at a nearby Planned Parenthood, she had instant regret. In God’s providence, Rebekah found the website AbortionPillReversal.com, and was connected with a pro-life doctor who prescribed progesterone to counteract the deadly abortion pill. Eight months later, Zechariah, her healthy baby boy, was born.

In the early 1980s, Dr. Francis Schaeffer warned of the disastrous effects of elevating an individual’s needs over the needs of society. Sadly, we are seeing his words of caution come to fruition even now. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. Schaeffer calls out Bible-believing Christians for their silence in the face of the great moral issues of our day. He asserts that the Church has failed for two reasons. First, we’ve forgotten that Jesus is not only our Savior, but the Lord of all life. Second, many of us are too afraid to speak out. Dr. Schaeffer says that like the early Christians and America’s founding fathers, we must seek to obey God rather than man.

America's moral structure has been deteriorating in the last 40 years under the weight of a secular worldview. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, author and theologian Dr. Francis Schaeffer asserts that America’s moral decline can be traced back to the rejection of the biblical notion that man is created in God’s image. He states that abortion, the failed public school system and the breakdown of the family are simply the ugly and inevitable results of a shift from a Christian worldview to a humanist worldview.

During a period in which he survived eight cancer surgeries and the removal of 80 percent of his tongue, Dr. Gary Oliver buried his father, his son, his only sibling, and his wife in a span of just four years. Because of the suffering that Dr. Oliver endured, he has been called a “modern-day Job.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, he reveals that in the face of unspeakable grief, his lifeline has been gut-wrenchingly honest prayer. In return, God has given him an indescribable joy and peace.

The problem in our culture is simple. Like the Israelites in Judges 17:6, everyone is doing what is right in his or her own eyes. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Christian radio host Janet Parshall says that anytime people search for their significance apart from the Lord, it leads to sinful chaos. From the increase in “gender affirming” care to new definitions of marriage, Americans are rejecting their God-given design. If Christians want God-honoring, pro-family policies re-established and maintained in our nation, we must make our voices heard at the polls.
