When we are deeply wounded by someone we trust, forgiveness is oftentimes the furthest thought from our minds. On this edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Lysa TerKeurst, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries, talk about how to forgive. She explains that our call to be forgiving stems from God’s grace towards us, even though we don’t deserve it.

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.
