A Christian wife married to an unbelieving husband has to walk a tightrope. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Jo Berry, a favorite guest of Dr. Dobson for many years, shares lessons from her book Beloved Unbeliever: Loving Your Husband into the Faith. On one hand, Jo says a wife should not participate with her husband in any activities prohibited by Scripture such as getting drunk or viewing porn. On the other hand, she warns the Christian wife against flaunting her spirituality, becoming dogmatic, or disrespecting her husband. One thing is indisputable: a wife should not hesitate to disciple the kids in the ways of the Lord.

First Peter 3 counsels Christian wives of unbelieving husbands to win them to the faith through their purity and reverence rather than simply with words. Easier said than done. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Jo Berry, who was a lecturer, Bible study teacher, and faithful wife, clarifies that this is not a strict prohibition from ever talking about God or church activities. Berry acknowledges that a wife should not try to nag her husband into Heaven. If she allows her Christian witness to do the “talking,” God can use her faithfulness to convert her husband.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and his guest, Christine Soule, continue discussing her life and her book, Broken and Beautiful. One Scripture that has been a platform for Christine’s life is Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Indeed, the Lord has used her pain and brokenness to bring hope and healing to women and children who have walked a similar path. Christine urges believers to welcome those curious souls in pain who walk into the church and who do not look like them, because they are often searching for a place to belong.

Christine Soule’s family was beyond dysfunctional. Her father was married eight times and her mother was married four times. If that wasn’t hard enough, Christine’s adopted father had an affair with her sister and they ran off and got married.

Miraculously, at the age of 21, she came to know Christ and He turned her life around. Today, Christine is empowering other traumatized young women to make wise decisions through her Seattle ministry, Providence Heights.

Greg Stier (pronounced “steer”) grew up as a fatherless street kid in north Denver. During his childhood he witnessed bloody brawls instigated by his brutish, violent uncles. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Greg shares that his home life was a mess, he was afraid of his own family, and he almost died three times in two years. But after the Lord radically saved him through an altar call at his grandparents’ church, Greg set out on a mission to lead every family member to Christ, including his guilt-ridden mother, who didn’t think God could forgive her.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, author John Rosemond shares tips from his book, Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child. When kids misbehave, he recommends the consequence of “kicking them out of the Garden of Eden.” When the child comes home from school, his room is stripped bare to the essentials. No toys. No music. And he's going to live this way until his attitude improves, and remains improved for at least a month. It’s showing confidence in your authority.

The author of Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child, Rosemond throws frazzled parents a lifeline, encouraging them to return to a biblical method for raising and disciplining their kids that both instills respect and inspires obedience. Indeed, Rosemond cites studies that reveal that the happiest kids are the ones who are well-behaved.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, underscore the influence of Christian parents and grandparents who model their love for God. Especially in a world which is so hostile to biblical truth. In the latter years of Billy and Ruth Graham’s lives, their eyesight failed them. But their love for God’s Word was so strong, they drew spiritual strength from hearing the Bible read aloud, and reading Scripture printed out in giant typeface.
