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.

Throughout history, the biblical book of Genesis was considered an accurate and reliable record, but over the past 250 years, it has become one of the most controversial books of all time. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Dr. Del Tackett, creator of The Truth Project, continue discussing Del’s film, “Is Genesis History?,” and the evidence for creation. As part of his research for the film, Dr. Tackett interviewed several field scientists and geologists who point to the fact that evidence of the Genesis flood is present throughout the world.

Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Sadly, a large percentage of the Christian community does not believe that Genesis is true history. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Dr. Del Tackett, the creator of The Truth Project, discuss Del’s documentary film, “Is Genesis History?,” and examine the scientific evidence for creation. They also review the most important biblical truth: that just as sin and death entered the world through one man, Adam, salvation and God’s grace came through one man, Jesus Christ.

Shannon Bream grew up memorizing Scripture while enrolled in Awana. Her mother first taught her Philippians 2:3, which says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.” With God’s providence, after graduating from college and law school, and then struggling as a young lawyer, Shannon persevered in her quest to ‘value others above herself,’ culminating in her landing a plum job as host of Fox News @ Night. In this public forum, Shannon engages viewers and the culture each night to defend truth and righteousness. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she talks to Dr. Tim Clinton about her previous stage fright, her husband’s brain tumor, and her new book, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, highlighting life lessons from mothers and daughters in Scripture.

Miracles are very difficult to explain and understand, and are therefore met with much skepticism and doubt. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Lee Strobel continue discussing Lee’s 2018 book, A Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural. They also share stories of God’s supernatural intervention, and attempt to tackle the question, ‘why does God allow bad things to happen?'

Lee Strobel was once a narcissistic drunk, desperately lacking as a father to his kids and as a model husband to his wife, Leslie. Ironically, after she became a believer, Lee came to know the Lord after he tried to disprove the Resurrection for over two years. The avalanche of evidence pointing to our salvation was irrefutable. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and his good friend, renowned apologist and scholar Lee Strobel discuss his faith walk and the role of apologetics in evangelism. They also highlight the parallel of famous atheists of history – Nietzsche (KNEE-chee), Freud (FROYD), Voltaire, and O’Haire – who were either fatherless or had bad relationships with their fathers.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Hillary Morgan Ferrer discuss her recent book, Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality. Our culture has redefined the word love to mean approval of every imaginable sexual sin. By twisting the Creator’s design in order to satisfy sinful desires, Satan attacks our God-given identity. What does it mean to be human? What is sin? And Who is God? Dr. Clinton and Hillary address these questions and more, and encourage parents to educate themselves and empower their children to challenge cultural lies about sexuality.

According to research, 59 percent of all high school graduates leave the church. The statistic begs the question, “How can we help our children cultivate a faith of their own, and develop a personal relationship with the Lord?” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and his guest, Hillary Morgan Ferrer, discuss her book, Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies. The world’s most potent lies are wrapped in partial truths. Hillary stresses the importance of teaching kids to think biblically. She believes this is crucial and empowers parents with the “ROAR” method in identifying and analyzing truth from fiction. Recognize the message. Offer discernment. Argue for a healthier approach. And finally, reinforce these ideas through discussion.
