MARCH 2007

3/26/2007 - Monday - Passing Hope on to Others 1 
Troy and Kim Meeder run a small ministry that has a big impact on young children. On their ranch in central Oregon, the couple takes in abused horses and pairs them with emotionally-wounded kids for mutual healing. The couple shares moving stories of God's redemptive work in broken lives at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. "Those kids know ... that this horse doesn't judge, this horse doesn't gossip, this horse cannot make fun of you [for] how you look or what you're wearing. This horse just loves because it chooses to." -- Kim Meeder 

3/27/2007 - Tuesday - Passing Hope on to Others 2 
Focus on the Family's 2004 radio broadcast featuring Kim Meeder, titled "Horses & Healing: New Hope for Kids," was our ministry's most popular program that year. Kim returns with her husband, Troy, to describe that show's dramatic impact on the way they minister to mistreated children at their Oregon horse ranch. The Meeders share more inspirational stories about hurting kids who find emotional healing at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. "True hope is not fully realized when we keep it for ourselves, but only when we imitate Jesus Christ and give it away. That's when hope becomes mature." -- Kim Meeder 

3/28/2007 - Wednesday - Passing Hope on to Others 3 
Those who've heard her speak already know that Kim Meeder is a gifted storyteller. With heartfelt passion and vivid detail, Meeder describes her ministry to disadvantaged children on her horse ranch in Oregon. Don't miss the conclusion to this three-part program as Kim and her husband, Troy, recount more inspiring tales from her recent book Bridge Called Hope: Stories of Triumph from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams. "Hope will find us if we ask. The Lord is always there, willing to give hope." -- Kim Meeder 

3/29/2007 - Thursday - How to Help your Hurting Teen 1 
Years ago, depression was primarily a problem for baby boomers and the elderly. Nowadays, health care professionals are seeing cases of depression in children as young as 14-15. And in the last 13 years alone, the number of college students being treated for depression has doubled. Why are so many young people struggling with this emotional disorder? High stress is one significant cause. Psychologist Archibald Hart and family therapist Catherine Hart Weber offer helpful advice from their book Stressed or Depressed: A Practical and Inspirational Guide for Parents of Hurting Teens. "Children trying to do their homework are listening to an IPod in one ear [and] have a cell phone ear piece in the other while they are instant imaging or blogging or sending messages over the Internet; and [they are] doing all of this at one time. This is overstimulation for the human brain, and that overstimulation is one of the major causes of the high level of stress hormones we're seeing today." -- Archibald Hart 

3/30/2007 - Friday - How to Help your Hurting Teen 2 
Eating disorders, substance abuse and broken families -- today's teens struggle with pressures and challenges that prior generations typically did not face. As a result, more young people than ever before are also wrestling with stress, anxiety and depression. Psychologist Archibald Hart and family therapist Catherine Hart Weber reveal the signs of depression in teenagers and how parents should respond. Offering hope and practical advice from their book Stressed or Depressed, our guests also discuss related topics such as cutting, suicide and the use of anti-depressants. "When you're depressed, hearing positive things from parents -- praises, character strengths -- these things really undergird and prevent teenagers from staying in that really helpless place." -- Catherine Hart Weber 

APRIL 2007

4/2/2007 - Monday - Celebrating 30 Years of Helping Families 1 
In 1977, a fledgling organization launched a weekly family-themed broadcast that aired on just a few radio stations. From these humble beginnings, Focus on the Family grew into a worldwide outreach touching millions of lives. We celebrate God's faithfulness over three decades of ministry as we present a recording from our recent 30th anniversary chapel service. Listen in as Dr. Dobson reminisces about Focus' past and shares his passionate vision for the ministry's future. "I began to realize what God was doing here, and it didn't have to do with just forming an organization to help families; it had to do with the work of the Lord and winning people to Christ. And that gradually became the ministry it is today." -- Dr. James Dobson 

4/3/2007 - Tuesday - Celebrating 30 Years of Helping Families 2 
Focus on the Family's 30th anniversary celebration continues today as we share clips from our recent staff chapel service. Hear former FRC President Gary Bauer reveal how Dr. Dobson helped form the Family Research Council in the early 1980s. Another chapel guest, best-selling author Gary Smalley, talks about the significant influence Focus has had on his own ministry. For a glimpse of Dr. Dobson's sense of humor, be sure to catch the spontaneous moment of levity that concluded our chapel service. "I hope the listeners today feel a part of the Focus family by hearing some of the insider stuff [that goes on] here at the ministry." -- Focus on the Family President Jim Daly 

4/4/2007 - Wednesday - Do Nice People Go to Heaven? 
Imagine your next door neighbor's home is on fire, and he's trapped inside. Would you try to save him? Sure you would. Now consider that your neighbor's eternal soul may be endangered by the fires of hell. Would you encourage him to seek the salvation found in Jesus Christ? You say, "Yes, of course," but do your actions match your words? Former pro basketball player Jay Carty poses this stirring challenge as he urges Christians to renew their commitment to sharing the gospel with nonbelievers. "Nice people really do go to hell, [but] most people don't think that. Most people think God grades on a curve." -- Jay Carty 

4/5/2007 - Thursday - Building Intimacy with God 
Psalm 47:9 says, "The shields of the earth belong to God." National Day of Prayer Chairman Shirley Dobson believes that on 9/11, God lifted the shield protecting our nation just enough so that we could get a glimpse of what would happen if He ever removed it completely. That's why it's crucial that we gather before Him in humility to pray for our nation, and we have a special opportunity to do so on May 3rd. Mrs. Dobson discusses the importance of participating in this year's National Day of Prayer (NDP). Joining her for this discussion is bestselling author Chuck Swindoll who is the 2007 NDP Honorary Chairman. "This battle that we're waging is a spiritual battle, and it can only be fought on our knees." -- Shirley Dobson 

4/6/2007 - Friday - Jesus and His Power 
What's the secret to victorious living? It's found in God's triumph over sin and satan through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. On this inspirational Good Friday broadcast, Pastor Tony Evans illustrates how Christ's sacrifice empowers believers to live out their faith successfully -- especially when they identify with Christ, proclaim His name publicly and love Him passionately. "The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is ... not only good news for the past; it's power for the present and hope for the future." -- Tony Evans 

4/9/2007 - Monday - Leaving a Legacy of Love 
At his father's funeral service, Bill Butterworth talked about the legacy his dad left their family. The experience caused Bill to wonder what his children would say about him at his own funeral service. Would they say he had loved them well? That they were blessed by and proud of him? Bill determined this would be the case and set out to craft a legacy of love. He offers encouragement from the Bible about how you, too, can leave a legacy of love for your family. "This is to be my legacy, if I have anything to do with it -- that my kids can say, "You know, my dad did an awful lot wrong, but I'll tell you one thing we knew about him: Our dad always loved us. We always knew it; he always showed us. He was a good man." -- Bill Butterworth 

4/10/2007 - Tuesday - When God Doesn't Make Sense 1 
Cancer strikes. Your spouse wants a divorce. You lose your job. When facing a difficult crisis, you may be tempted to ask, "Why is this happening to me? Why would God allow this?" There are no easy answers, but today Dr. Dobson provides Biblical insight based on his best-selling book, When God Doesn't Make Sense. If you're going through a hard time and could use a healthy dose of encouragement, be sure to tune in today. "God always makes sense, but He doesn't always make sense to us." -- Dr. James Dobson 

4/11/2007 - Wednesday - When God Doesn't Make Sense 2 
"Sooner or later, sometime in life, 100 percent of us will hit the betrayal barrier." As Dr. Dobson goes on to explain today, the betrayal barrier is a time of severe crisis that causes us to struggle with our faith and question whether God still cares for us. When we're hurt by life's trials, how do we get around that barrier? Tune in as Dr. Dobson addresses that important question and offers encouragement from his book When God Doesn't Makes Sense. "It is universal in the Christian life; if it hasn't happened to you yet, it's going to, and when it does ... don't panic. God is still there, whether you feel anything or not." -- Dr. James Dobson 

4/12/2007 - Thursday - When God Doesn't Make Sense 3 
One of the most painful things parents can experience is watching their children suffer. The Bible indicates that our Heavenly Father also hurts when His children are in pain because He is full of compassion for us. As Dr. Dobson points out today, we can take comfort in knowing that whenever we face tough trials, God is still with us and cares deeply, even if we don't feel it. Dr. Dobson offers encouragement through personal and scriptural illustrations, reminding us that we can always depend on God's love when difficult circumstances come our way. "I'd lay down my life instantly for either one of [my] kids. And if God loves me infinitely more than I can love Danae and Ryan, then I have a sense for what He is feeling when I go through [a crisis]." -- Dr. James Dobson 

4/13/2007 - Friday - When God Doesn't Make Sense 4 
Don't miss the conclusion of our four-part series as Dr. Dobson shares final thoughts from his book When God Doesn't Make Sense. He talks about the hope we can draw from Scripture during tough times, pointing to the Bible's promises of God's unyielding love as well as great rewards in heaven for those who persevere here on earth. Dr. Dobson also offers special encouragement to those who are nearing death or facing the death of a loved one. "What does God want of you? He wants you to hold on to your faith ... Don't let go, even when it makes no sense." -- Dr. James Dobson 

4/16/2007 - Monday - Teacher of the Year 1 
A beautiful little girl approached an ugly old woman and said, "Jesus loves you." Guy Doud was convicted to love the unlovable when he witnessed this touching moment between two strangers. The school teacher shares several compelling stories about how he developed a loving heart for his students. Tune in and hear why this is one of Focus on the Family's most popular broadcasts of all time. "The public school of America today is a great, great mission field. As a teacher and as a Christian, I see these kids, and my heart bleeds." -- Guy Doud 

4/17/2007 - Tuesday - Teacher of the Year 2 
Guy Doud says teachers are molders of dreams -- by believing in and loving kids, teachers have the power to help shape countless lives. Guy describes how some of his childhood teachers inspired him to become an educator himself. He also tells his story about receiving the national "Teacher of the Year" award and shares a poem which illustrates the positive impact a teacher can have on students. "The apostle Paul writes that our life is a letter that people are reading. These people would rather see a sermon than hear one any day. They look to each of us, and each of us has the potential to be that molder of dreams." -- Guy Doud 

4/18/2007 - Wednesday - Issues Update: April 2007 
Earlier this year, Focus on the Family listeners were instrumental in defeating a U.S. Senate bill that would have restricted grassroots organizations from informing the public about legislative activities. Now, the U.S. House is considering a similar bill, and once again your help is needed. Tune in to learn how you can voice your concerns about this issue as well as new hate crimes legislation that would add sexual orientation to a list of specially-protected classes of society. Public policy experts Carrie Gordon Earll and Tom Minnery join Dr. Dobson for this important discussion. "The assault on private citizens who communicate with government officials has already begun." -- Tom Minnery

4/19/2007 - Thursday - The Gift of Sex 1 - For mature audiences only!
By God's design, we are sexual creatures, and we have a natural desire for a fulfilling sexual relationship with our spouse. For a variety of reasons, though, many couples do not experience the satisfaction that comes with a great sex life. On today's broadcast, husband-and-wife sex therapists Cliff and Joyce Penner address common problems couples face and offer practical advice for improving physical intimacy "[People] feel that whatever works out in the marriage relationship sexually -- that's what they're stuck with. If it's good, they're lucky. If it's bad, they're unlucky, but there's nothing they can do about it. That's one of the main reasons why [Joyce and I] have moved into this area -- to counter that mentality."-- Cliff Penner

4/20/2007 - Friday - The Gift of Sex 2 - For mature audiences only! 
When couples seek help from a sexual therapist, they are often surprised -- and relieved -- to learn that many other people face the same challenges. So, if you and your spouse are experiencing difficulty with physical intimacy, take heart -- you're not alone. Authors Cliff and Joyce Penner address the six most common problems they encounter in their practice as sex therapists. On a different note, Dr. Dobson comments on the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the ban on partial-birth abortion. "About 40 percent of the people who come for help -- and this is true in our practice as well as other practices -- they come with the problem of lack of [sexual] desire." -- Cliff Penner 

4/23/2007 - Monday - All about Family Finances 1 
Sooner or later, almost every married couple experiences conflict over finances, but many arguments can be avoided if spouses can learn to work together on achieving common financial goals. Today's broadcast features a classic Focus on the Family interview with the late Larry Burkett, who offers biblical wisdom to young couples wanting to establish a solid financial base for their marriage. Tune in as the founder of Christian Financial Concepts discusses topics like living on a budget, avoiding debt and buying a home. "[Here] is the fundamental key that every couple has to agree to when they get married: We must always spend less than we make, no matter what. If we have a lot of money, that means we've got to be more disciplined. But if we have a little bit of money, the bottom line is, we are not going to go into debt to buy things." -- Larry Burkett 

4/24/2007 - Tuesday - All about Family Finances 2 
Pay your young child a few dollars for doing some simple chores. Then take him to the store and allow him to buy something with his money. In doing so, today's guest says, you'll teach him to associate work with financial reward -- a principle you can expand upon as he gets older. Listen in to this classic Focus broadcast as the late Larry Burkett advises parents how to teach sound financial principles to children of all ages. The founder of Christian Financial Concepts also talks about planning for retirement and making wise investments. "Credit cards are not the problem. It is the mismanagement of credit cards that is the problem. And we need to teach our children to manage credit cards properly." -- Larry Burkett 

4/25/2007 - Wednesday - Developing a Healthy Body Image 1 
Standing in the checkout line, a housewife and mother stares at the gorgeous women adorning the magazine covers. She wonders how she can lose some weight, worries that her husband no longer finds her attractive. And she's not alone. Eighty percent of American women say they are dissatisfied with their bodies. Author Deborah Newman offers women encouragement and advice from her book Comfortable in Your Own Skin: Making Peace With Your Body Image. "The answer to body image is a spiritual healing; it's getting in touch with the fact that you are fearfully and wonderfully made" -- Deborah Newman 

4/26/2007 - Thursday - Developing a Healthy Body Image 2 
Destructive media messages have convinced many women that there's something wrong with their body if they don't look like a fashion model or a Hollywood actress. In addition to poor self-esteem, a negative body image can lead to anorexia, bulimia, cutting, depression and even suicide. Deborah Newman advises women how to develop a healthy body image. The author of Comfortable in Your Own Skin also answers questions from a studio audience and discusses how this issue can affect men, too. "In [our western culture], we all receive messages about what's wrong with our bodies and how we need to change ... But the messages really take hold in our lives based on ... words that have been spoken to us, experiences that we've had." -- Deborah Newman 

4/27/2007 - Friday - Remembering the Life of Jesse Kay
"If the Lord wants me to stay here on this earth," said Jesse Kay, "He is well able to heal me. But if the Lord wants me with Him, that would be awesome!" Those brave words demonstrated remarkable faith in the face of death, for not long after he spoke them, Kay succumbed to leukemia at age 17. Join us today as Jesse's father Doug, a former Focus on the Family staff member, shares inspiring stories about his son's courage in the midst of incredible pain. Doug recalls the emotional struggles his family endured and offers encouragement and hope to those in similar circumstances. It's a moving program you won't want to miss. "Cathy and I, we cry every day -- not because we're disillusioned with God, not for any reason except that we miss [Jesse]." -- Doug Kay 

4/30/2007 - Monday - God's Model for Leadership
What does good Christian leadership look like? Author John Stott sums it up well: "The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power; but love; not force, but example; not coercion, but reasoned persuasion." Whether you're a spiritual leader in your church or your home, you'll want to listen as London-based lawyer and church layleader David Turner shares several important principles for successful Christian leadership. "No leadership ... decision can or should be made without prayer." -- David Turner 

MAY 2007

5/1/2007 - Tuesday - Defending Academic Freedom 1 
A Christian senior at Missouri State University refused to complete a class assignment that involved writing a letter to the state legislature, urging the legalization of homosexual adoption. University officials charged her with failure to meet their diversity policy and threatened to prevent her from graduating. She's not alone, as Christian students across the nation are targeted for their beliefs. If you have a child in college or about to enroll, you won't want to miss today's broadcast. David French and Alan Sears of the Alliance Defense Fund discuss their organization's efforts to defend Christian college students against religious discrimination. "This is what the Alliance Defense Fund is all about -- to keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel and to allow people to freely practice and live and speak about their faith." -- Alan Sears

5/2/2007 - Wednesday - Defending Academic Freedom 2 
Ruth Malhotra and Orit Sklar, students at Georgia Tech University, protested an obscene play performed on campus. The university president ordered them to stop, but the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed a successful lawsuit, preventing the university from suppressing the students' right to free speech. The ADF's own David French and Alan Sears talk about the remarkable courage displayed by Christian students who stand up against religious discrimination on campus, as well as the ADF's efforts to defend believers in other public arenas. "We're calling for people who are facing this kind of mistreatment ... to stand up, to know you're not alone, because it's amazing what a precedent set in one case can do. Literally, dozens of universities read about what happens at another school, and they will change their behavior." -- Alan Sears 

5/3/2007 - Thursday - Praying with Power 
Seminary professor Howard Hendricks says prayer is "the Christian's secret weapon" for bringing about positive change in our culture. On this special National Day of Prayer broadcast, Hendricks encourages listeners to wield that weapon in the battle against society's moral decline. He examines Jesus' teachings on prayer and describes how you can model Christ's prayer life. "If Christ lives within you, He's going to develop a heart of prayer [in you]. That's when you begin to see miraculous things happening." -- Howard Hendricks 

5/4/2007 - Friday - Restoring the Soul 
The prophet Daniel was pressured by his Babylonian captors to make a difficult choice. Would he conform to their pagan culture, or would he live by God's standards? Ravi Zacharias says listeners face a similar choice. He discusses 3 biblical lessons Christians must learn to remain true to God's ways -- as Daniel did -- while living in a corrupt society. "I do know one thing that Daniel's message teaches me: I can take responsibility for what I'm going to do with my own life." -- Ravi Zacharias 

5/7/2007 - Monday - Single Adults 1 
The number of single adults is on the rise, as is the average age of those getting married. While many men and women enjoy their single status, others are lonely and frustrated. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, specialists in counseling single adults, discuss common issues singles face, the importance of "leaving and cleaving" and how unhealthy individuals tend to produce unhealthy relationships. "When we talk about the problem of emotional isolation, it's not a problem of being alone; it's a problem of, oftentimes, being alone in the midst of a lot of other people. People just can't emotionally attach." -- Henry Cloud 

5/8/2007 - Tuesday - Single Adults 2 
Adults who have been single for a long time have likely wondered why. The guests say that's a normal question, and while there are no easy answers, they do offer plenty of advice and encouragement for singles. Bestselling authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend join Dr Dobson to discuss why men and women look for different things in a relationship, how to be attractive to the opposite sex and the importance of nurturing healthy, platonic friendships. "If you haven't learned how to hold the line of respect in some other relationship, and you try it in the romantic area, it's going to fail." -- Henry Cloud 

5/9/2007 - Wednesday - Hate Crimes Legislation 
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that Dr. Dobson says is "designed to muzzle people of faith." Ironically, Congress approved this legislation on the National Day of Prayer -- a day when countless Americans gathered to pray publicly. Pro-family leaders Gary Bauer and Tony Perkins join Dr. Dobson to discuss how the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act could restrict Americans' right to free speech by making it a "hate crime" to say that homosexuality is immoral. In addition, Dr. Dobson provides an update on last week's National Day of Prayer events in Washington, D.C. "It starts with hate crimes. Then it progresses to hate speech which will silence the pulpits of America." -- Tony Perkins 

5/10/2007 - Thursday - Teaching Manners to Kids 
Get practical and straightforward advice for parents on teaching manners to children. Dr. Bill Maier interviews experts Judi Vankevich and Sheryl Eberly about the importance of manners and instilling positive social values in our kids. "That's the foundation of manners: treating others the way we would like others to treat us -- the Golden Rule." -- Judi the Manners Lady 

5/11/2007 - Friday - A Mother's Heart 
Feeding the children, washing their clothes, helping with schoolwork, comforting them when they're hurt -- these are just a few of the many tasks a mother faces. While they are all important, today's guest says there are even higher priorities. Tune in to this candid and humorous Mother's Day program as Fern Nichols, founder and president of Moms In Touch, offers moms lots of practical advice and encouragement. "No amount of moral instruction, firm discipline, religious instruction or church-going can make up for the lack of a praying parent." -- Fern Nichols 

5/14/2007 - Monday - Radical Islam's Impact on America 1 
Bestselling author Joel Rosenberg says, "To misunderstand the nature of evil is to risk being blindsided by it." Our nation was certainly blindsided on September 11, 2001 because we didn't comprehend the dire threat radical Islam poses to the western world. This week, we present a series of broadcasts devoted to helping our listeners better grasp this danger. Rosenberg talks about Iran's intentions of harming the United States and Israel. Don't miss this fascinating discussion based on his latest book, Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future. "[Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad is telling people inside Iran that he believes that the end of the world is just two or three years away ... and he believes that the way to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah -- known as the Mahdi or as the Twelth Imam -- is to annihilate two countries: Israel ... and the United States." -- Joel Rosenberg 

5/15/2007 - Tuesday - Radical Islam's Impact on America 2 
Experts say it's not a question of if, but when. Sooner or later, they say, a terrorist organization will succeed in detonating a nuclear device on American soil. It's a frightening prospect that should motivate us to pray fervently for God's protection of our nation. Author Joel Rosenberg offers several practical suggestions for confronting and combating terrorism. The bestselling novelist and political advisor also offers encouragement and hope while taking a candid look at the potential threats currently facing the U.S. "This is unnerving, unless you begin to look at it as a student of the Bible, a follower of Jesus Christ. [The Bible tells us,] 'be strong and courageous.'" -- Joel Rosenberg **Before this fascinating program begins, you'll get to hear a special message from Dr. Bill Maier. Your freedom of speech could soon be threatened--hear how you can get involved to make sure that doesn't happen. 

5/16/2007 - Wednesday - Insights on Radical Islam 
Even if only 10 percent of world's Muslims adhere to the destructive, radical tenets of their faith, that still means 120 million Muslims are dedicated to jihad (or "holy war") against the West. How much do you know about this growing threat? Pastor and radio host Michael Youssef examines Islamic beliefs and why they are rapidly spreading around the globe. On a different note, Dr. Dobson expresses his sympathies regarding Jerry Falwell's passing, and Dr. Bill Maier provides an important update on proposed legislation that would restrict pro-family groups from informing the public about Congress' actions. "The Christian faith basically withdrew from Europe ... and the Muslims are coming in and filling that vacuum." -- Michael Youssef 

5/17/2007 - Thursday - Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam 1
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum may have lost his congressional seat in the last election because he campaigned against the rise of what's known as Islamofascism. It wasn't a popular stance, as Santorum spoke in frank terms about our nation's enemies, calling them "Islamic fascists" instead of using the more generic term "terrorists." Santorum says it's critical that Americans understand the true nature of our enemies. He explains the differences between the Sunni and Shi'a branches of Islam and why the radical adherents of each denomination pose a dire threat to the West. "We are fighting a war against Islamic fascists, people who use Islam to support their fascist ideology of wanting to control the world." -- Rick Santorum 

5/18/2007 - Friday - Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam 2 
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill spoke of a "gathering storm" in describing the rising threat of fascism in Europe which led to World War II. America is facing a gathering storm of our own as Islamofascist forces and the rogue countries that support them are aligning against us. In wrapping up our week-long series on Islam, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum describes how several different nations are actively working together to weaken the United States, and he outlines the steps necessary to protect our nation and our way of life. "[Our enemies] are at war with us. At some point, hopefully [before it's] too late, we will understand that and act accordingly." -- Sen. Rick Santorum 

5/21/2007 - Monday - Rescuing the Next Generation 1 
Most young people today say right and wrong are matters of personal perspective, that truth is whatever a person decides it is. Sadly, even many Christian teens are deceived by this cultural lie. So, how do you present absolute truth to young people who believe all truth is relative? This is the challenge posed by well-known evangelist and bestselling author Josh McDowell. Listen in as he presents a provocative message about the need to convey to younger generations the absolute truth found in the Bible. "Talk to young people about truth and here's a phrase you'll hear: 'Oh, that's wonderful if it's true for you, but it's not true for me.'" -- Josh McDowell 

5/22/2007 - Tuesday - Rescuing the Next Generation 2 
What could lead Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to take the lives of 13 innocent people at Columbine High School? There was plenty of speculation in the media, but Josh McDowell believes the real answer was overlooked: Harris and Klebold were taught by our culture that right and wrong are simply a matter of personal perspective. Sadly, the two teenagers decided it wasn't wrong to kill their peers, that they were justified in doing so. McDowell urges parents and grandparents to rescue today's younger generation from the destructive lies of modern society by teaching them the value and validity of absolute truth. "Unless we help parents to teach their children a personal value system based upon the very person, character and nature of God, it doesn't matter what we do with gun control, safe zones or anything else -- we will fail." -- Josh McDowell 

5/23/2007 - Wednesday - Distortion in the Media 
Some media commentators practically celebrated the death of Jerry Falwell, making insensitive and mean-spirited comments about the Christian leader mere hours after his passing. Such is the animosity that is routinely displayed toward people of faith, and it's only getting worse. Dr. Dobson highlights several egregious examples and airs excerpts from Tuesday's nationally syndicated Glenn Beck Program, during which Dr. Dobson takes Beck to task for misrepresenting his views about potential presidential candidate Sen. Fred Thompson. Find out how you can encourage fair and balanced reporting in the future. "This is the kind of world that we live in now, that you can't trust your own media." -- Glenn Beck 

5/24/2007 - Thursday - God's Miracle in My Life 
Midway through sharing her testimony on today's broadcast, Molly Brannen jokingly asks her audience, "Does this sound like As the World Turns?" Her life story sure seems like a soap opera, consisting of one dramatic episode after another. Sadly, many of those developments resulted in heartache and sorrow for Molly, but as you'll hear, she found emotional and spiritual healing after committing her life to Jesus Christ at a Billy Graham crusade. Consider telling an unsaved loved one about this compelling program with its encouraging message of salvation and hope. "I didn't think anyone understood what it was like to have everyone that you ever loved turn their back on you ... [until I realized] God Himself came to earth and was rejected by His own." -- Molly Brannen 

5/25/2007 - Friday - The Heart of a Soldier
He's gone weeks without a shower, but he cleans his weapon every day. He's tough, but not too tough to write letters to his mother. Growing up, he wouldn't share candy with his kid brother, but now he'll give his last ration to a hungry Iraqi child. On this special Memorial Day broadcast, combat-decorated Marine Oliver North describes what he saw during a trip to the Persian Gulf as a reporter embedded with the U.S. military. Be reminded to pray for the thousands of young, dedicated soldiers who put their lives on the line every day in the service of our nation. "The young lance corporal stands up and looks at me and he says, 'You know, Colonel, heroes aren't just defined by how they die, but by how they live.'" -- Lt. Col. Oliver North 

5/28/2007 - Monday Remembering Our Troops in Iraq - Remembering our Troops in Iraq
We enjoy many privileges here in America, thanks in large part to our nation's military. These brave men and women protect our freedoms and preserve our security. On this special Memorial Day broadcast, we honor our soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they make in service to our country. Capt. Chris Plekenpol discusses his experiences as a U.S. Army tank commander in Iraq; Army wife Wendy Gade describes her emotional struggles after her husband was severely wounded; and Arthur and Barbara Craig recall the faith their son Brian displayed just prior to losing his life in the fight against terrorism. "That's the one thing about combat .. you put your brother ahead of everything you do, and it's a beautiful thing." -- Capt. Chris Plekenpol

5/29/2007 - Tuesday - The Sacred Union of Marriage 1
If happiness is our primary goal in marriage, we'll get a divorce as soon as the warm feelings fade. If receiving love is our goal, we'll leave our spouse as soon as they seem less attentive. But if we marry for the glory of God, says author Gary Thomas, then divorce makes no sense. Thomas talks about our unrealistic expectations for marriage, what God really intends the relationship to provide and practical ways we can love and serve our spouse. "We're asking of marriage something that God didn't design it to give." -- Gary Thomas

5/30/2007 - Wednesday - The Sacred Union of Marriage 2
As Christians, we've heard that applying biblical principles to our marriages will give us a stronger foundation than our unbelieving friends and neighbors. We know this, but what are we doing about it? In other words, what makes a marriage "Christian"? Author Gary Thomas describes typical -- and often unrealistic -- expectations for marriage, how men and women bring different qualities to the relationship and why serving our spouse reflects our love for God. "The question shouldn't be, 'Am I happier today than I was yesterday?' But, 'How do I love my spouse today like [he or she has] never been loved?'" -- Gary Thomas 

5/31/2007 - Thursday - Laughter in the Walls 1
Jesus encouraged His disciples, "I have chosen you out of the world" (John 15:19), and Colossians 3:12 echoes that sentiment, calling Christians "God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved." Today's classic Focus on the Family broadcast takes us back to 1984, when speaker Bob Benson (now deceased) shared humorous and heartwarming stories, reminding Christians that God has chosen each one of us to spend eternity with Him. "I know I'm an improbable choice ... You can't understand the choice of God by looking at the 'choosee;' you understand it by looking in the heart of the chooser." -- Bob Benson 

JUNE 2007

6/1/2007 - Friday - Laughter in the Walls 2
Bob Benson was well-known at church for his "ministry of open arms" -- he routinely hugged his fellow churchgoers as a way of greeting them. On today's broadcast, a classic recording from 1984, the late speaker and author describes how we can demonstrate the love of Christ to others -- not only through physical touch, but also through listening and prayer. Don't miss this insightful, humor-filled message from one of Dr. Dobson's favorite storytellers. "It really is a lonely world, and it just seems to me that a part of the work of [God's] kingdom is to relate to people with warm, open love that just reaches out and grabs them." -- Bob Benson 

6/7/2007 - Thursday - What's Wrong with Being a Nice Guy? 1 
Author Paul Coughlin considers himself as a "recovering nice guy." There's a big difference between being a nice guy and a good man, he says; while the former seeks others' approval and avoids conflict at all costs, the latter boldly does the right thing, even if it means stepping on some toes. Paul and his wife, Sandy, discuss with Dr. Dobson how men can transition from nice to good as they discuss Paul's provocatively-titled book No More Christian Nice Guy: When Being Nice - Instead of Good - Hurts Men, Women and Children. "What we often call niceness is really ... fear and passivity in disguise; it is a vice disguised as a virtue." - Paul Coughlin 

6/8/2007 - Friday - What's Wrong with Being a Nice Guy? 2 
Many Christian men think the Bible teaches them to be meek and mild, passive and nice. In reality, says Paul Coughlin, the Scriptures say that boldly doing the right thing is far more important. The author of No More Christian Nice Guy reveals how men can overcome "nice guy syndrome" and how they can help their children avoid it. Paul and his wife, Sandy, also describe how these principles can improve a marriage as they offer practical advice from their book, Married But Not Engaged: Why Men Check Out and What You Can Do to Create the Intimacy You Desire. "Kindness is always a virtue ... What we often forget, though, in regard to our understanding of love and kindness, is [that] sometimes it's the kind thing to be tough." - Paul Coughlin 

6/11/2007 - Monday - Thriving in a Single Parent Family 1 
The goal of today's broadcast, says Dr. Dobson, is to put an arm around single parents, letting them know that Focus on the Family is here to help. If you or someone you know is a single parent, you won't want to miss this program filled with advice and encouragement. Psychologist and bestselling author Kevin Leman offers practical help from his book Single Parenting That Works: Six Keys to Raising Happy, Healthy Children in Single-Parent Homes. Joining the conversation are single parents Ann Kiemel, a popular speaker and author, and Scott Welch, a producer for the Focus on the Family broadcast. "[God] put a new song in my heart and put me on a strong place to stand, and that's where I've been ever since [becoming a single parent]." - Scott Welch 

6/12/2007 - Tuesday - Thriving in a Single Parent Family 2 
As a single parent, do you often feel like you have nothing left to give? When life's pressures are closing in, it helps to know that the Lord’s heart is tender toward the fatherless and the widows. Listen in today as psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman, author of Single Parenting That Works: Six Keys to Raising Happy, Healthy Children in Single-Parent Homes, joins Dr. Dobson and guests Ann Kiemel and Scott Welch to discuss life as single parents and the Lord’s gracious provision. "I would tell any parent that's in a single situation – you have to gather a team. When life throws you that hard curve ball and you’re knocked down, you need a team." – Dr. Kevin Leman 

6/13/2007 - Wednesday - Where's Dad? 1 
Is life in your home characterized by routine panic? Does your fast-paced schedule leave you constantly fatigued? In this 30th anniversary program first aired in the 1970s, Dr. James Dobson encourages fathers to make their family a priority and speaks out against the greatest threat to meaningful family life: Overcommitment. Tune in for some vintage material from the original Focus on the Family film series – you’ll be amazed at the application for today. "If the family as an institution is going to survive … it will be because husbands and fathers begin accepting responsibility for the spiritual leadership of their families." – Dr. James Dobson 

6/14/2007 - Thursday - Where's Dad? 2 
Recalling the death of his father, Dr. James Dobson reflects on what is most important in life. Be sure not to miss this classic – and heart-tugging – 30th anniversary broadcast as Dr. Dobson openly shares his passion for the spiritual welfare of his family and his deep desire for fathers everywhere to treasure their families.

6/15/2007 - Friday - Where's Dad? 3 
As we continue to celebrate Focus on the Family's 30th anniversary, join us for this classic program in which Dr. James Dobson poignantly recalls the legacy of his great-grandfather's faith and the powerful influence of prayer in his life. And with Father's Day right around the corner, join Dr. Dobson in praying that dads everywhere will rededicate themselves to the leadership of their families. "Of all the things that we're trying to do as moms and dads, the number one responsibility is to care for the spiritual welfare of our children and to introduce them to Jesus Christ. Nothing else … comes close." – Dr. James Dobson 

6/18/2007 - Monday - What We Believe 1 
Ever heard someone say, "It may be true for you, but not for me"? Do you know what you believe and why? As a Christian, can you defend your beliefs to others? Listen in as gifted author and storyteller Frank Peretti brings the foundational truths of Scripture to life, illustrating the Lord's unique and unchanging characteristics and how the Christian worldview stands apart in a world of moral confusion. "That's one thing that rubs man the wrong way – whenever you present an authority higher than he is." - Frank Peretti 

6/19/2007 - Tuesday - What We Believe 2 
If someone says, "It's wrong to impose your morals on others," aren't they in effect imposing their morals? But to whom – or what – do you appeal if there’s no absolute truth? At the end of the day, we're all searching for meaning. Gifted author and storyteller Frank Peretti points to the God of the Bible as the only source of purpose, peace and reality in a culture of confusion. "The whole idea of liberty and democracy is founded on the idea that there is a just and moral God calling the shots. When you lose that, you as a nation are in big trouble." - Frank Peretti 

6/20/2007 - Wednesday - Finding Hope in the Little Things 1 
"Houston, we have a problem." Just a two-degree shift in Apollo 13's homeward course would have caused the spacecraft to miss the earth by thousands of miles. Indeed, minor changes can make a big difference. The same principle applies in daily life. For example, how long did you maintain your New Year's resolution to lose 20 lbs? Setting the bar too high often leads to discouragement, but smaller, more manageable changes can increase your likelihood of success. Psychologist and author Dr. John Trent discusses simple adjustments that can lead to life-changing results. "How in the world such can a small degree of difference lead to such a great effect? I don’t meet couples that, when they got married, were 11,121 miles apart. They started off two degrees [apart] and all of a sudden they woke up one day and were miles apart." - Mr John Trent 

6/21/2007 - Thursday - Finding Hope in the Little Things 2 
Are you overworked, guilt-ridden or simply stressed-out? Are you overwhelmed by the insurmountable? Today's guest says we often give up short of our goals because we don't see success soon enough. Popular author and speaker John Trent explains how setting small, attainable goals can help you maintain momentum and eventually change the landscape of your life. "A lot of people will never change in the areas that they want to because they are setting the bar so ridiculously high." - Mr. John Trent 

6/22/2007 - Friday - The Path of Endurance 
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose," wrote Jim Elliot, a missionary who was later martyred in the jungles of Ecuador. Jim Elliot knew what mattered most: To be approved unto God. On today's classic Focus on the Family broadcast, Elisabeth Elliot recounts her romance with Jim, and how they together realized that nothing is worth living for unless it is worth dying for. "If it's God's will you want more than anything in the world, it’s going to mean endurance." - Mrs. Elisabeth Elliot 

6/25/2007 - Monday - Shaping the Will without Breaking the Spirit 1 
It's amazing how kids instinctively know where the line in the sand is drawn – and how to cross it just to get a reaction. So what's a parent to do? In this classic Focus on the Family broadcast, Dr. James Dobson describes the tactics children use to push parents over the edge and offers advice on how to redraw healthy boundaries for appropriate behavior. "Have you heard yourself saying to your kids, 'This is the last time I'm gonna tell you …' and you say it so many times that he doesn’t even hear you anymore?" - Dr. James Dobson 

6/26/2007 - Tuesday - Shaping the Will without Breaking the Spirit 2 
It's amazing how kids instinctively know where the line in the sand is drawn – and how to cross it just to get a reaction. So what's a parent to do? In this classic Focus on the Family broadcast, Dr. James Dobson describes the tactics children use to push parents over the edge and offers advice on how to redraw healthy boundaries for appropriate behavior.

6/27/2007 - Wednesday - The Use and Abuse of Power 1 
"Everybody has power," Chuck Colson says. "The question is, 'How do you deal with it?'" Whether you're involved in Christian ministry or raising your children, how do you wield the power and authority you possess without letting it get to your head and misusing it? The founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries talks with Dr. Dobson about the nature of power and how the use - and abuse - of it can affect each of us. "When you look at power, don't sit back, folks ... and say, 'Well, that doesn't involve me.' It sure does involve you. It involves the most intimate human relationships." - Chuck Colson 

6/28/2007 - The Use and Abuse of Power 2 
Thursday Former White House aide Chuck Colson talks about the struggle for power in human relationships (particularly marriage) and how that struggle can affect each of us for better or worse. The founder of Prison Fellowship describes how his ministry is changing the lives of prisoners, who are among the most powerless in our society. Mr. Colson also shares a fascinating story about life lessons he learned from an influential meeting with a powerful government official in Columbia, South America. "The Word of God is our only defense ... As we read it, as we absorb it, as it begins to have meaning to us, we then are protected, to some degree, against the temptations of power." - Chuck Colson 

6/29/2007 - Friday - The Use and Abuse of Power 3 
As a White House aide during the Nixon Administration, Chuck Colson knew what it was like to have a lot of power. But as he'll tell you on today's broadcast, power as the world defines it (influence, control, wealth, success) is a fleeting illusion. As Colson learned, true power is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. He describes how Christians gain spiritual power as they develop a close relationship with Christ while serving others. The founder of Prison Fellowship also cautions listeners to avoid the seduction and trappings of worldly power. "This culture tells you that success, achievement, influence, prominence and celebrity [are] all that matter. And that's false. What matters is your right relationship with the living God." - Chuck Colson

7/3/2007 - Tuesday - Let Us Behave Decently 
Scripture tell us to "behave decently" (Romans 13:13), yet we live in a society that has become increasingly characterized by crass language, coarse behavior and rampant immorality. As former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller points out in his book Deficit of Decency, ours is the first generation that may fail to leave this country better off than our parents did. Can we reverse this trend and return to decency, morality and goodness? Sen. Miller reveals how the answer lies in the godly principles upon which our nation was founded. "We have been struck by a debilitating lack of decency in this country ... and it's not only wrong, but it's weakening this nation." - Sen. Zell Miller

7/11/2007 - Wednesday - Tony Dungy: A Man of Quiet Strength 1 
Tony Dungy's mother told him, "Who you are is so much more important than what you do, and who you are really comes from your relationship with the Lord." Dungy is well-known as head coach of the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, but as he emphasizes on today's broadcast, his relationship with Jesus Christ is far more important. Dungy recounts how he came to Christ, how he shares his faith on and off the field, and how his faith helped sustain him following his son's suicide in 2005. "Athletics has been a big, big part of my life. It's fun, and it's what I do for a living. But my purpose for a long time now has been to really glorify the Lord." - Tony Dungy 

7/12/2007 - Thursday - Tony Dungy: A Man of Quiet Strength 2 
Tony Dungy may be the winningest coach in the NFL, but he has experienced plenty of disappointment during his pro football career. As a player, he was traded from the best team to the worst. And he was fired from his first head-coaching job for not getting his team to the Super Bowl. Dungy didn't lose heart during these tough times, though, because he believed God was preparing him for the future. The head coach of the Indianapolis Colts talks about the important role faith has played throughout his career and that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the world's eyes were on him. "I knew when the clock was winding down ... we were going to win the [Super Bowl]. I said, 'I'm going to get 30 seconds on the podium in front of the whole world and what am I going to say?' And I wanted to let people know that, as happy as we were and as excited as we were, [we were] still doing it for the Lord." - Tony Dungy 

7/13/2007 - Friday - Tony Dungy: A Man of Quiet Strength 3 
In the conclusion of this three-part program, NFL head coach Tony Dungy interacts with the studio audience in a fun - and revealing - question and answer session. Dungy offers advice to aspiring athletes and reveals why he avoids yelling at his players as many coaches do. He also describes his work with the ministry All Pro Dad as well as his family's decision to adopt several children. In addition, Dr Dobson highlights Dungy's integrity as he asks the coach to share a little-known story about an opportunity he once had to give his team an unfair advantage over their opponents. "I don't tell people, 'Hey, you have to be a Christian to be on our team.' But I try to show them the way I live, and I hope that rubs off on them." - Tony Dungy

7/16/2007 - Monday - A Hard Look at Hate Crime Laws 
Democrats in the U.S. Senate are holding American troops hostage by attaching a hate crime amendment to a vital defense spending bill. The bill is due to be voted on this week; if passed, the amendment could help make it a crime to speak out against homosexuality. On today's broadcast, public policy experts Tom Minnery and Tony Perkins describe how you can help prevent the passage of the amendment. You'll hear several stories illustrating the dangers of hate crimes legislation, including the account of a 75-year-old grandmother who was threatened with a $90,000 fine and a prison sentence just for demonstrating at a public event celebrating homosexuality. "When hate crime laws are put into place by the government, we begin to see freedom of religion diminish, and it is followed very shortly thereafter by hate speech laws." - Tony Perkins

7/17/2007 - Tuesday - Children's Fears
Childhood fears are common. Young kids are often scared of spiders or heights or being alone at night. Older children may experience anxiety about school or peer pressure. How can concerned parents help their kids overcome fear? Today's classic Focus broadcast provides solid answers and practical advice as Dr. Dobson discusses this topic with two expert guests: Dr. Frank Minirth, a psychiatrist and co-founder of the Minirth-Meier Clinic, and Dr. Paul Warren (deceased), a behavioral pediatrician and adolescent specialist.
"God gave every kid a set of parents to help them do lots of things in the process of growing up. One of those things is to learn how you learn to cope with fears in your life, because everybody has fears." - Dr. Paul Warren 

7/18/2007 - Wednesday - Hope in the Midst of Unexpected Pregnancies 1 
With four kids in school, Leslie Leyland Fields assumed her child-bearing days were behind her. So when she became pregnant again, she wasn't excited; rather, she felt fear, anger and despair. Countless women have faced an unplanned pregnancy. Leslie, author of Surprise Child: Finding Hope in Unexpected Pregnancy, joins mothers Joanna Brown and Michael Schwarz in discussing the emotional and spiritual struggles that accompanied their unexpected pregnancies. They talk honestly about the challenges of having their life turned upside-down and the temptation they felt to have an abortion. "By the time you've gone through [pregnancy] four times, you feel like, 'I just can't do this again. I don't have any more left to give. How is there room for another child in our family? How is there room in my heart?'" - Leslie Leyland Fields **Note: After our regular program for today, stay tuned to hear a discussion centering around some frightening legislative activity taking place in the state of California. 

7/19/2007 - Thursday - Hope in the Midst of Unexpected Pregnancies 2

Now I feel so guilty for even feeling those things because now I look at [my kids] and I can't imagine them not in my life." - Joanna Brown 

7/20/2007 - Friday - Cries From the City 
Keith Phillips watched in horror as a 12-year-old boy was stabbed to death. As paramedics carried the body away, another young boy told Phillips, "Don't sweat it. People get killed around here all the time." Too often, inner city life is characterized by death, poverty, hunger and abuse. Phillips, the president of World Impact, shares compelling stories about his ministry's work in America's inner cities and urges listeners to get involved.  "All too often the church of Jesus Christ doesn't hear the cries from the city. Sometimes we don't hear because we don't listen. Sometimes we don't listen because we don't want to hear." - Keith Phillips

7/25/2007 - Wednesday - The Prayers of Righteous Men 
"The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America." President Ronald Reagan's bold endorsement of prayer is echoed in today's stirring message by the Rev. Chuck Swindoll. In a speech delivered on the National Day of Prayer 2007, the pastor and bestselling author encourages listeners to pray for our nation as he recounts shining examples from Scripture and American history of men and women who faithfully called upon the Lord. Be inspired by Swindoll's reminder that "the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16). "Why has prayer always been the secret of our nation's survival? Two reasons come to mind. First, because there is no greater name to call upon than the name of the Lord ... And second, because when we call upon the name of the Lord, He fulfills what He has promised."- Chuck Swindoll 

7/26/2007 - Thursday - Happily Married Opposites 1 
They say opposites attract, and that's certainly true for Chuck and Barbara Snyder, who jokingly claim they hold the world record for being the most incompatible couple in history. Despite their many personality differences, they've been happily married for 52 years. What's their secret? The Snyders offer encouragement and advice to couples who wrestle with contrasting temperaments. "We can't change each other ... We need to accept each other and serve each other like the Lord says." - Barbara Snyder 

7/27/2007 - Friday - Happily Married Opposites 2 
Twenty-two years into their marriage, Chuck and Barbara Snyder were on the verge of divorce. They seemed completely incompatible, and their personality differences were a source of constant conflict.

Chuck and Barbara share the wisdom they've gained from decades of experience, offering encouragement and advice to married couples who wrestle over opposing temperaments. "[Chuck] says, 'Focus on the other person; make sure you're trying to serve them.' And I say, 'Focus on yourself. Make sure that you are being obedient to the Lord.' And we're both saying exactly the same thing, but of course we come at it from a different direction." - Barbara Snyder

8/22/2007 - Wednesday - God Made Us a Family 1 
Dick Gauch worked 16-hour days, six days a week - his ego ballooning as he climbed the corporate ladder. Consumed with his career, Gauch allowed his relationship with his wife and children to suffer. As his family fell apart, he recognized at last the proverbial warning: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). Rev. Gauch shares the compelling story of the healing and restoration God brought to his broken family. In part one of this three-part series, Gauch recounts his childhood, his marriage to Sue, and his early success in the business world.

8/27/2007 - Monday - Effective Family Devotions 1 
Four-year-old Johnny won't sit still, while 13-year-old Rebecca just yawns and stares off into space. The kids are bored, and Dad is frustrated as he tries yet again to lead his family in Bible study and prayer. When your best efforts don't seem to work, it's easy to feel like throwing in the towel. If you've experienced similar challenges, don't miss today's broadcast as bestselling author Bruce Wilkinson talks about overcoming common obstacles and describes five keys to establishing a family devotion time that's consistent, meaningful and enjoyable.  "Most people think that family devotions are Sunday school held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and it's not. Another misconception is that, all of a sudden, the parent becomes [a] preacher." - Bruce Wilkinson 

8/28/2007 - Tuesday - Effective Family Devotions 2 
Why don't many Christian families have consistent devotions? Common responses include, "We don't have time," "My children aren't interested" or "We've given up because past attempts ended in failure." If you'd like your family to enjoy devotions together and but have run up against too many barriers, you won't want to miss today's broadcast. Bestselling author Bruce Wilkinson talks about overcoming seven common obstacles and provides practical guidance for establishing a family devotion time that's relevant, consistent and enjoyable. "I studied [my professor's] method of teaching [and] found out the reason he was so profound is that he touched my felt need everyday. I was never bored in his class ... I finally realized the key to a child not being bored [in devotions] is that his felt need is touched." - Bruce Wilkinson

So take a breather and listen to a fascinating discussion as Dr. Richard Swenson describes how our society has increased in speed, complexity and stress.

"All the countries with the most time-saving technology are the most stressed-out." - Dr. Richard Swenson

Jim Daly's mother died of cancer when he was just nine years old. As Daly and his four siblings returned home from the funeral, their stepfather was moving out - leaving the children alone to fend for themselves. The president of Focus on the Family recounts his troubled childhood with humor and candor, describing how those difficult circumstances helped prepare him to reach out to today's families. Daly also reveals how God brought salvation to his household. "Science will never prove or disprove God ... because if that happens, then Hebrews won't be true, [because] the only way to please God is by faith." - Jim Daly 

9/5/2007 - Wednesday - Finding Faith and Family 2

In addition, Dr. Dobson and Mr. Daly reveal some difficult circumstances faced by former Focus president Don Hodel, asking listeners for prayer. "I can remember thinking in my heart once I became a Christian at 15 [that] if I had to go that same path to find the Lord, I would want to do it again, because in the end, that's what's most important." - Jim Daly 

9/6/2007 - Thursday - Overcoming Adversity

9/7/2007 - Friday - Will We Forget?

In a recorded message, Kennedy challenges Christians to become passionately involved in combating evil in our culture. In addition, Dr. Dobson talks with public policy experts Tom Minnery and Tony Perkins about seven pieces of California legislation which, if passed, will advance the homosexual agenda and undermine traditional, family values - not only in the Golden State, but across the nation. "Christ wants you to be a soldier for Him. Pray that God will fill you with intensity to ... become a participant in the greatest struggle in the history of the world - a struggle for goodness, a struggle for godliness, a struggle with Christ against Satan." - The Rev. D. James Kennedy

9/11/2007 - Tuesday - Radical Islam's Impact on America Part 1 
Bestselling author Joel Rosenberg says, "To misunderstand the nature of evil is to risk being blindsided by it." Our nation was certainly blindsided on September 11, 2001 because we didn't comprehend the dire threat radical Islam poses to the western world. These broadcasts are devoted to helping our listeners better grasp this danger. Rosenberg talks about Iran's intentions of harming the United States and Israel and a fascinating discussion based on his latest book, Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future. "[Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad is telling people inside Iran that he believes that the end of the world is just two or three years away ... and he believes that the way to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah - known as the Mahdi or as the Twelfth Imam - is to annihilate two countries Israel ... and the United States." - Joel Rosenberg 

9/12/2007 - Wednesday - Radical Islam's Impact on America Part 2 
Experts say it's not a question of if, but when. Sooner or later, they say, a terrorist organization will succeed in detonating a nuclear device on American soil. It's a frightening prospect that should motivate us to pray fervently for God's protection of our nation. Author Joel Rosenberg offers several practical suggestions for confronting and combating terrorism. The bestselling novelist and political advisor also offers encouragement and hope while taking a candid look at the potential threats currently facing the U.S. "This is unnerving, unless you begin to look at it as a student of the Bible, a follower of Jesus Christ. [The Bible tells us,] 'be strong and courageous.'" -- Joel Rosenberg 

9/13/2007 - Thursday - Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam 1 
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum may have lost his congressional seat in the last election because he campaigned against the rise of what's known as Islamofascism. It wasn't a popular stance, as Santorum spoke in frank terms about our nation's enemies, calling them "Islamic fascists" instead of using the more generic term "terrorists." As you'll hear on today's program, Santorum says it's critical that Americans understand the true nature of our enemies. He explains the differences between the Suni and Shi'a branches of Islam and why the radical adherents of each denomination pose a dire threat to the West.
"We are fighting a war against Islamic fascists, people who use Islam to support their fascist ideology of wanting to control the world." - Rick Santorum 

9/14/2007 - Friday - Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam 2
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill spoke of a "gathering storm" in describing the rising threat of fascism in Europe which led to World War II. America is facing a gathering storm of our own as Islamofascist forces and the rogue countries that support them are aligning against us. In today's wrap-up of our series on Islam, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum describes how several different nations are actively working together to weaken the United States, and he outlines the steps necessary to protect our nation and our way of life. "[Our enemies] are at war with us. At some point, hopefully [before it's] too late, we will understand that and act accordingly." - Rick Santorum

9/17/2007 - Monday - Dr. Ken Hutcherson: Defender of Truth 1 
As an adolescent, the Rev. Ken Hutcherson says he hated white people. In fact, the former NFL linebacker first started playing high school football just so he could hurt white students without getting in trouble. The founder and pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, Wash., describes how discovering God's love dissolved his anger and hatred toward others. You'll be fascinated as "Hutch" shares stories from his rough childhood and reveals how the toughness he developed back then benefits him today as he boldly stands against immorality in our culture.
"I knew if I wanted to be on the first team, I had to know the playbook. I started putting in five, six, seven hours a day in the Bible, and I've never had one backslidden day since." - Ken Hutcherson 

9/18/2007 - Tuesday - Dr. Ken Hutcherson: Defender of Truth 2 
Many high school and college football players dream of making it to the pros, but NFL rookie Ken Hutcherson was ready to leave the big leagues almost as soon as he got there. Turns out that "Hutch" had a different dream -- he wanted to be a preacher -- but put his desire on hold because he felt God calling him to remain in the NFL. Rev. Ken Hutcherson reveals how God eventually led him into full-time ministry as a pastor with a passion for the Bible and the determination to boldly confront immorality wherever he finds it -- both within the church and without. "Why is it that we're so [racially] separated when it comes to worshipping? It's not going to be that way when [we] get to Heaven, [and] I'm not going to wait until I get to Heaven for it to work. So I started Antioch [Bible Church] ... a church for all colors, a church for all cultures." - Ken Hutcherson

Panelists include Antioch Adoptions' Executive Director Tammie Snyder, the Rev. Ken Hutcherson of Antioch Bible Church, and Focus on the Family President Jim Daly. "All of our adoptions are 'fee free' ... I do not believe that money should be changing hands to give kids loving homes." - Ken Hutcherson

9/27/2007 - Thursday - Building a Stronger Family, (Part 1 of 2)
The U.S. Constitution unifies the American people and serves as the supreme law of our land. Bestselling author Gary Smalley says every family should form a constitution of their own - a written plan that describes how they will love and respect one another. When families do this, Smalley says, the household becomes more unified and relationships are strengthened. Tune in today as the founder and president of the Smalley Relationship Center explains what a family constitution looks like and how it works. "You actually write articles of your family constitution, putting down a simple plan of how you intend to stay in love and in harmony - and you, your wife and kids agree on that plan. [Then] you type it up and put it on the wall. There's power in the printed word .. and everyday you're reminded of it." - Gary Smalley 

9/28/2007 - Friday - Building a Stronger Family, (Part 2 of 2)

Bestselling author Gary Smalley offers a list of 10 biblically-based "articles" to include in your family constitution. The founder and president of the Smalley Relationship Center also explains how the concepts behind the constitution can help with issues like family finances and teen dating. "You can't do any vocation today without training, and all that training is in writing ... Yet, we go right into our marriage and family [with no written rules,] no constitution. That should be the number one place we start." - Gary Smalley

In truth, Robertson McQuilkin had already made the decision in his heart years earlier when he vowed to love his wife "in sickness or in health." Robertson shares the lessons he learned about true love from his late wife who suffered from Alzheimer's. "To love, then, is to lay down one's life - dreams, ambitions, rights, pleasures if need be - for the best interests of one's mate." - Robertson McQuilkin

2/12/2008 - Hope For Your Marriage After Infidelity 1
Many couples are convinced that their marriage is impervious to infidelity, only to find themselves one day dealing with the devastation of an extramarital affair - wondering if their relationship will survive. Hear from a couple that found healing and restoration after an affair, a journey chronicled in their book, Unfaithful: Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity. Gary and Mona Shriver offer advice and hope to other couples who've been affected by adultery. "I didn't think that adultery was ever going to be an issue. I used to joke that I'll start resisting temptation the day it stops resisting me ... But then I found myself with a person of the opposite sex that I found attractive ... [and] all of a sudden, this person started meeting [my] needs." - Gary Shriver 

2/13/2008 - Hope For Your Marriage After Infidelity 2
A couple devastated by infidelity faces a crossroads: They can head down the path of divorce, or they can journey toward recovery. The guests on today's program believe that healing is possible, because they've experienced it themselves. Gary and Mona Shriver, authors of Unfaithful: Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity, describe how their marriage was restored after Gary had an affair. Our guests offer advice and hope to couples as they discuss the importance of support groups, professional counseling and a strong commitment to God. The Shrivers also talk about the how and when of explaining infidelity to children, and the role of the church in the recovery process. "I knew that because of the adultery, I had a Scriptural basis - according to a lot of people - for a divorce. But ... there was this little voice in my head that also knew that God's plan and purpose for marriage had been permanence. And if [Gary had] come home repentant, was I not obligated to at least try?" - Mona Shriver 

2/14/2008 - The First Year of Marriage 1
The typical bride and groom spend hundreds of hours planning their wedding, but much less time learning how to make a marriage. Authors Robert and Bobbie Wolgemuth talk about their book for newlyweds, The Most Important Year in a Woman's Life / The Most Important Year in a Man's Life. Our guests explain why the first year is so important and how the tone of a marriage is established during the first 12 months. "You build a habit and you reap a lifestyle. [A] marriage can be fabulous - it can be so exceptional - if we get the right habits the first year." - Bobbie Wolgemuth 

2/15/2008 - The First Year of Marriage 2
After the honeymoon is over and everyday life resumes, newlyweds are often surprised by their many differences. But those differences don't have to drive them apart. Robert and Bobbie Wolgemuth join Dr. Dobson to discuss practical ways to handle those early marital conflicts, how intimacy can improve the relationship and the importance of supporting your spouse during challenging times. "Sex is the expression of your relationship - it's not the fulfillment of it." - Robert Wolgemuth

2/18/2008 - Homeschooling: Why Dads Should Get Involved 1
When it comes to home schooling, mothers are traditionally seen as the primary instructors, but you'll hear why it's important for fathers to be involved, too. Robby McGee, president of humanitarian organization New Life International, explains why he chose to home school his teenage son. In addition, Michael Farris, co-founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, discusses the state of the home education movement today and the legal challenges it's faced. Finally, Farris' wife, Vicki, encourages parents to consider home schooling as she describes the great satisfaction she's experienced in educating her children. "A school principal once said something that I never will forget. He said, 'Robby, you will never regret the opportunity that home schooling is going to afford you to be the primary influence in your son's life.'" - Robby McGee

2/19/2008 - Homeschooling: Why Dads Should Get Involved 2
Once Robby McGee began home schooling his teenage son, the two developed a stronger, closer relationship. As McGee explains, this was one of the benefits of assuming a more active role in his child's education. Michael Farris, author of The Home Schooling Father, describes how he helped his wife, Vicki, teach their ten children. Michael, co-founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, also explains why the U.N. Convention of the Rights of the Child is dangerous to families and how listeners can help prevent the United States from ratifying the treaty. "When I look back at the different things that God allowed [my son and me] to share together during those last couple years of his schooling, I can tell you that it was worth every sacrifice." - Robby McGee

2/20/2008 - The Right Education for Your Child
When it comes to a child's education, the days are long gone when parents simply sent their kids to the nearest public school. Today, parents can choose from a number of education options, including private schools, home schooling, charter schools and even "virtual" schooling. With so many options, how can parents know which one is the right choice for their child? Authors Kurt and Olivia Bruner discuss how they chose a different education option for each of their children based on the child's needs. You'll also hear from other parents who explain how they settled on the best education for their children.
"Don't assume one size fits all ... Get the help, get the information, and your child's going to do great if you're involved, no matter what [education] option you choose." - Kurt Bruner 

2/21/2008 - Reaching Emotional Wholeness 1
NOTE: This program's material may not be suitable for young listeners. Benji Clark Mallory grew up in a house with boards on the windows and a world of horrors inside. Benji's father made sure no one outside could catch a glimpse of the belt he called "Black Annie" - a belt he used to beat Benji and her brothers until they were virtually unconscious. Benji describes the brutal treatment and sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, as well as the emotional healing she later found through a relationship with Jesus Christ. "I ran that night for my life. I can still almost feel the chills on my back as I ran across that old yard, just scared to death .. I just knew that if [my daddy] got me, that he would kill me." - Benji Clark Mallory

A great way to introduce children to their Creator is by pointing them directly to His work.

Hear a great message for a holiday weekend. "Children have ... the natural ability to be enthusiastic about things that we would normally overlook." - Bill Ivy

5/27/2008 - Tuesday - Finding Freedom by Forgiving Yourself
When it comes to personal failures, many Christians say, "I know that God forgives me, but I can't forgive myself." Why is it so difficult to let go of our past mistakes? How can we find the emotional and spiritual freedom that comes with forgiving ourselves? Theologian and author R.T. Kendall offers insight and encouragement from his recent book, How to Forgive Ourselves - Totally. Don't miss this important follow-up to our recent broadcasts based on Kendall's book Total Forgiveness, which focused on forgiving others. "I wish I could turn the clock back and start all over again. And yet, because I can't, I had to forgive myself. And I've done it! I'm a transformed man." - R.T. Kendall

5/28/2008 - Wednesday - The Hidden Dangers of Anti-Bias Laws
Separate public restrooms for men and women may become a thing of the past in Colorado - and eventually, across the nation - if Colorado Senate Bill 200 becomes law. The legislation adds religion and sexual orientation to the state's nondiscrimination statute, which means that all public restrooms must be equally open to men, women, transsexuals and "transgendered" individuals. Dr. James Dobson and a panel of guests explain how this law would threaten religious freedom as well as public safety, and how it could lead to similar laws across the nation. No matter where you live, find out what you can do to help stop SB 200 from becoming law. "Woe to the first women's fitness facility or mall owner who objects to a man dressed as a woman who wants to enter previously forbidden territory. And what an opportunity for sexual predators to use this law as 'cover' to enter intimate areas in search of a victim." - Tom Minnery

5/29/2008 - Thursday - Finding Freedom by Forgiving Yourself

5/30/2008 - Friday - The Christian Family
When a couple ties the knot, they promise to love, honor and cherish one another - in good times and in bad - until death parts them. Yet too many spouses don't live up to those promises in just the first years of marriage, and almost half those unions end in divorce. Why? For today's guest, the answer is simple: Husbands and wives have misplaced priorities; they are not serving God, and they aren't serving one another as He instructs. Rev. Tony Evans describes what it really means to fear God, and explains how families can experience the blessings, peace and joy of the Lord. "If you fear the Lord, you will be blessed. How? With a million dollars? No, [the Bible] doesn't say that. [It] says you know when you've been blessed when it's well with you, and your family is together ... Blessing is having a unified family, not a big bank account." - Tony Evans

6/2/2008 - Monday - Finding Faith on the Race Track
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) represents one of the fastest growing sports in North America, and one of NASCAR's newest fans is Dr. James Dobson, who recently went to the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama to watch the National Day of Prayer race car take the track. Dr. Dobson and his wife, Shirley, share their excitement about the National Day of Prayer's involvement in NASCAR. Joining the conversation is Joe Nemechek, who drove the "National Day of Prayer," and Joe Garone, a manager of the NDP racing team. In addition, Billy Mauldin describes how Christian faith plays a role in NASCAR and how his organization, Motor Racing Outreach, is working to share the Gospel with the racing community and its fans. "These fans are passionate about this sport; they love it. And we're hoping ... [to use] NASCAR as a bridge into their lives [and] redirect that passion to the person of Christ." - Billy Mauldin

6/3/2008 - Tuesday - The Challenges Facing Today's Military
When it comes to military combat, do female soldiers have an "equal opportunity" to survive? How does having men and women serve alongside each other in battle actually put both of them at risk? And just what are our top officials not telling us? Dr. James Dobson and Mrs. Elaine Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness, discuss the controversial topic of gender equality and the military. "In combat, upper body strength is what's important . . . a female soldier, no matter how brave she is, and how dedicated, and how much she tries, she will not be able to do the same thing. So why are we putting our soldiers at greater risk?" - Elaine Donnelly

6/4/2008 - Wednesday - The Challenges Facing Today's Military
Current law states that homosexuals are not eligible for military service, but within months, that law will face a concerted challenge from pro-gay activists. Elaine Donnelly describes simple steps listeners can take to protect the military from social engineering that could undermine our nation's military effectiveness and morale. Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness, also tackles other difficult questions: What if a female soldier becomes pregnant while on deployment? What if an active service member is HIV positive? And should single parents be allowed to serve in combat? "The argument has been made ... that [sexuality] is like a racial, civil rights issue. That is not true. ... The military took the lead in eliminating [racial discrimination] many decades ago. Sexuality is different. [People] don't want to be forced in conditions of little or no privacy ... [to be exposed] to others who might be sexually attracted to them." - Elaine Donnelly

6/5/2008 - Thursday - The Confident Strength of a Mom
When it comes to a contest of wills with your children, are you confident you'll win? Do your children know you're the boss, or do they believe they will get their way if they keep pushing? Many parents, especially moms, aren't sure how to exercise their authority effectively, or how to do so in a way that projects strength, confidence and decisiveness. If that describes you or someone you know, don't miss today's broadcast. Author Julie Ann Barnhill offers helpful parenting advice from her recent book One Tough Mother: It's Time to Step Up and Be the Mom. "You have to draw a line in the sand, and I think you have to communicate that verbally and then follow through ... You don't apologize or quantify or reconsider what you're doing. That's part of the difficulty of being 'one tough mother.'" - Julie Ann Barnhill

6/6/2008 - Friday - The Confident Strength of a Mom
Author Julie Ann Barnhill says some moms just have a "presence" about them - Their very demeanor commands respect. These moms are authoritative, strong, confident - as well as loving, gracious and kind. If you aspire to be that kind of parent, don't miss today's broadcast. As she offers helpful pointers from her book One Tough Mother, Barnhill describes how moms can overcome the emotional barriers that often prevent them from exercising their parental authority. Our guest also offers special encouragement to single moms, and to all moms who feel the pressure to be the perfect parent. "Stepping up and saying, 'I am the mother' - there's nothing wrong with [that]. There's nothing wrong with some healthy fear with your children, [that they know] you mean what you say and you say what you mean." - Julie Ann Barnhill

6/9/2008 - Monday - Seeing Yourself in God's Eyes
She worked in a world obsessed with appearance, but Nancy Stafford eventually discovered that who she was had very little to do with how she looked. The model and television actress describes her childhood crisis of confidence, recounts her Hollywood success and tells how God transformed her thinking about what's really beautiful. Be encouraged by the reminder that your value is based not on how the world perceives you, but on God's great love for you. "Even when we know better, somehow we still find our identity and our acceptance and our value ... based on our beauty." - Nancy Stafford

6/10/2008 - Tuesday - A Tribute to a Good Man
As we look ahead to Father's Day, Dr. James Dobson honors dads everywhere by paying tribute to his own father, the late James Dobson, Sr. Listen in to this classic Focus broadcast as Dr. Dobson shares tender memories about his dad, highlighting his father's love of art, literature and poetry. Dr. Dobson also discusses the significant influence his father had on Focus on the Family, describing how the worldwide ministry was an answer to his dad's prayers. "Focus on the Family is not a product of my creativity or my words or my thoughts. It came out of my father's prayer life, his relationship with the Lord and his intense desire to serve Him." - Dr. James Dobson

6/11/2008 - Wednesday - Overcoming the Father Wound 1
As a child, Josh McDowell lived with the shame of having a father who was known as the town drunk. McDowell was not only embarrassed by his dad's reputation, but he would watch in horror as his father physically abused his mother. McDowell describes the childhood devastation he suffered - emotional pain so intense that he felt like God had abandoned him. The apologist and bestselling author of Evidence That Demands a Verdict recounts how he initially set out to disprove Christianity, but instead became a Christian who found healing from the father wounds of his past through a relationship with his Heavenly Father. "I don't believe anyone can approach God except that God draws them ... and God was working in my heart and mind to draw me in spite of my attitude and the anger and the bitterness." - Josh McDowell

6/12/2008 - Thursday - Overcoming the Father Wound 2
Josh McDowell hated his dad, but when McDowell became a Christian, God's love transformed his heart. You won't want to miss today's program as the bestselling author recounts what happened when he shared the love of Christ with his alcoholic father. It's a moving story that's ideal for reaching unbelieving family members and friends as McDowell, a leading Christian apologist, describes how a number of Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ and challenges listeners to examine the Gospel's claims for themselves. "Most people think I came to Christ through all the evidence [supporting Christianity]. Folks, I didn't ... What brought me to Christ was Jeremiah 31:3 where God said, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; with tender kindness I have drawn you.' It was the love of God that brought me to Christ." - Josh McDowell

6/13/2008 - Friday - God's Model for Fatherhood
Father's Day is not only an opportunity for families to honor dads, it's also a chance for dads to reflect on what it means to be a good father. Are you leaving a legacy for your kids they can be proud of? Dr. James Dobson sits down with Josh McDowell, bestselling author of The Father Connection, and his wife, Dottie, and presents Josh with a touching and fun Father's Day surprise. Be sure to share the joy of this special moment: it's an inspiring reminder of what it means to have a great dad - and to be one. "It's not the big things ... that [your kids] most remember. It's the little things you do day in and day out, on a consistent basis, that molds a child." - Josh McDowell

6/16/2008 - Monday - Bring a New Spark to Your Marriage 1
When a couple is newly married, their relationship is full of passion and romance. But over time, the excitement typically diminishes. If spouses are not careful, they will gradually grow apart, sacrificing the intimacy they once treasured. No matter whether you've been married for a few weeks or many years, our guests say you can keep the passion in your marriage. Husband-and-wife authors Jay and Laura Laffoon offer sound advice from their book The Spark: Igniting the Passion, Mystery and Romance in Your Marriage. "When you were first married, you were best friends. You couldn't wait to be together, you couldn't stand to be apart ... [but] life has a way of sucking that out of us as we walk through this thing called marriage." - Jay Laffoon 

6/17/2008 - Tuesday - Bring a New Spark to Your Marriage 2
How can you and your spouse build closeness in your marriage? Start by focusing on the different kinds of intimacy - physical, emotional, spiritual - and create a plan to develop each of those areas. This approach will enhance overall intimacy with your spouse. In the conclusion of this two-part program, husband-and-wife authors Jay and Laura Laffoon focus on spiritual intimacy, as well as what they call "mental intimacy." Listen in for great marital advice from the Laffoons' book The Spark: Igniting the Passion, Mystery and Romance in Your Marriage. You won't want to miss our guests' touching story illustrating why couples shouldn't delay their goal of building intimacy. "When we are praying together, when we are connecting in that way spiritually, life seems to be a whole lot less tense ... we tend to give each other a lot more grace." - Jay Laffoon 

6/18/2008 - Wednesday - Baby Boomers Look Back, 1
The year was 1968. Mickey Mouse celebrated his 40th birthday and the Beatles had a hit with "Hey, Jude." Apollo 8 orbited the moon, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and protests against the Vietnam War turned violent. American culture was changing dramatically back then, and the effects can still be felt a generation later. Several guests describe how their lives were impacted by the social upheaval of the late 1960s. Dr. Dobson describes how the moral decline we face today had its roots in the cultural shift that occurred during that turbulent era. "[My memory of the '60s] dredges up a lot of shame. There was a lot of abuse going on at that time, from drug abuse to sexual abuse ... Decisions that I made then are still kind of ruling the way I live." - Glenda Jeffords 

6/19/2008 - Thursday - Baby Boomers Look Back, 2
Five major cultural changes took place in American society during the late 1960s: Drug use gained wider acceptance; divorce was seen as an easy way out of marriage; premarital, extramarital and perverted sex became acceptable; radical feminism became the preferred means to gain equality for all women; and it was suddenly fashionable to question or even doubt God's existence. On a national level, America is still feeling the repercussions of that social upheaval - and on a personal level, so are the guest's on today's program. They describe the heartache and regret they've experienced as a result of succumbing to the moral decline of that infamous decade. "I was not a pretty feminist ... I thought this was the answer to all my problems, that it was [the fault of men] that I was not fulfilled ... I took that out on my husband and ... he became excess baggage." - Linda Sommers

6/20/2008 - Friday - Turning My Life Around
In 1969, the nation was in shock over a series of brutal murders committed by the followers of an enigmatic cult leader named Charles Manson. A shopkeeper named Dennis Rice fell under Manson's spell, deluded into thinking that the convicted killer was a messianic leader who would change the world. Rice tried to break Manson out of jail, and ended up behind bars himself. While serving a seven-year prison sentence, Rice came to know the true Messiah, Jesus Christ. Rice shares the riveting story of his involvement with the notorious "Manson Family" and how he now ministers to prison inmates with the love of Christ. "I began to feel as though I were the dirtiest, filthiest, scummiest person in the entire earth ... and I began to cry out to God ... [Then] I got up off my knees, and that feeling was gone. I knew that in that moment of time, God had totally forgiven me." - Dennis Rice 

6/23/2008 - Monday - Issues Update: June 2008, 1
In 1987, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) put an end to the "Fairness Doctrine" - a 1940s-era regulation which forced the nation's TV and radio broadcasters to give equal airtime to opposing viewpoints on controversial issues. Some congressional Democrats are now trying to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine in an attempt to counter the significant influence of conservative talk radio and Christian broadcasting. On today's program, Dr. James Dobson talks with U.S. Rep. Mike Pence about how listeners can help support the Broadcaster Freedom Act - legislation that would prohibit the FCC from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine. Joining the conversation are Focus on the Family President Jim Daly and Tom Minnery, Focus' Vice President of Public Policy. "There's nothing fair about the 'Fairness Doctrine.'" - Rep. Mike Pence 

6/24/2008 - Tuesday - Issues Update: June 2008, 2
Dr. James Dobson responds to a speech made by Barack Obama in which the presidential candidate, while discussing the role of religion in government, compares Dr. Dobson to political activist the Rev. Al Sharpton. Dr. Dobson also updates listeners on the battle to preserve traditional marriage in Arizona, and pays tribute to late broadcast journalist Tim Russert. Joining Dr. Dobson for a discussion of these important issues are Focus on the Family President Jim Daly and Tom Minnery, Focus' Vice President of Public Policy. "76 percent of the [American] people identify themselves as Christian ... [but Barack Obama is] diminishing the idea that people of Christian faith have anything to say." - Tom Minnery

6/25/2008 - Wednesday - Recapturing the Joy, 1
Do you ever drive your car without listening to the radio? Could you go for a week - or even a day - without watching TV, surfing the Web or checking your e-mail? Can you quietly sit still and simply do nothing? If you can't imagine life without sounds or screens, you might be, like many Americans, addicted to stimulation and entertainment. Psychologist Archibald Hart explains how over-stimulation adversely affects the brain and actually diminishes our capacity to experience enjoyment. Hart describes how we can break these addictions, preserve our mental health and find true, lasting contentment as he offers helpful information from his book Thrilled to Death: How the Endless Pursuit of Pleasure is Leaving Us Numb. "[Anhedonia] is the gradual shutting down of the brain's pleasure system because it's overused, over-stimulated. And at a certain point, that shutdown is so profound that technically, it becomes a clinical depression." - Archibald Hart

6/26/2008 - Thursday - Recapturing the Joy, 2
On yesterday's broadcast, psychologist Archibald Hart explained how many Americans are addicted to excitement and entertainment, and how over-stimulating the "pleasure center" in our brain can diminish our capacity to experience enjoyment. Today, our guest outlines steps that listeners can take to break the entertainment addiction. Hart offers advice for recovering a healthy balance and gaining lasting contentment in a discussion based on his book Thrilled to Death: How the Endless Pursuit of Pleasure is Leaving Us Numb. "I'm a gadget person, but I discipline myself. I will not touch a keyboard after eight o'clock in the evening because if I do, I know I'm not going to get to sleep [on] time ... I have a cell phone, but only one person knows the number, and that's my wife, and it's [only] for emergencies. Very few people have my e-mail address." - Archibald Hart
