Without biblical truth, there is no compass to guide us in the way we are to live. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Del Tackett gives a moving presentation about our society and the spiritual war against God’s design—specifically, human sexuality. In a culture that wants to base facts on feelings, now is the time for Christians to “speak truth in love” to those around us.

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.

One of the greatest lies running rampant across our country is that we have the option to change our gender, based on our feelings. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Michele Bachmann and her husband, Dr. Marcus Bachmann, discuss the gender crisis in America, and the fallout our society is experiencing because of this lie. We know from Scripture that the “enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Therefore, we must be “alert and of sober mind” to keep from falling prey to the devil and his schemes. We must not turn a blind eye to this terrifying and horrific injustice of “trans-gendering.”

In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control released a survey that revealed that 57% of teen girls felt persistent sadness or hopelessness, while 30% had seriously considered suicide. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews Patti Garibay, the founder and executive director of American Heritage Girls. According to Patti, we must remind our teen daughters that they have self-worth and they should never lose sight of that. Why? Because they are made in the image of Christ, and that will substantiate each one of us. Proverbs 31:20 declares, “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
