Someone Is Right

In today’s world of tolerance and relativity, many are afraid of offending others by suggesting there are absolutes. Statements like, “I’m right, and you are wrong,” are rarely uttered anymore. That seems so…oddly arrogant or misguided. But we don’t have to shy away from Truth; indeed, we are called by Christ to be light and [...]

Leonid’s Devotion

The following was written some time ago, while I attended a radio event. While I never posted this journal entry, I thought it was a good story worth sharing here. ~~~ I’m staying a downtown hotel in Nashville, and while the place is pleasant enough, the AC has not been adequate. I especially noticed it yesterday afternoon, [...]

As Dr. Dobson noted on today’s broadcast, there will be a change for him - and for the radio program - coming early next year. This announcement leaves unanswered several questions - we hope to answer those and clarify things in the coming days. Of course, we have much to be thankful for, as God has [...]

A while back we enjoyed a conversation with “The Money Couple,” Scott and Bethany. They shared with candor and humor about the challenges that occur when husbands and wives have major differences in their individual approaches to money. Here’s where you can buy the CD of that discussion, or listen to it here. I [...]

In case you didn’t know, this week’s daily radio programs have been about “great families.” The conversations are touching, inspiring and encouraging. Regarding a tragic auto accident, Gail Allen observed, “You have to have faith … because you can’t rely on emotion when something like this happens.” Hear how Gail and his family dealt with adversity [...]

Caring For Elderly Parents

A good friend just moved his father from the home he had known for 30 years to an assisted living facility. It was a tough decision, but dementia was starting to affect daily life and had already caused a few near-accidents. It was an interesting process to talk through, and I made mental notes because [...]

Entering The World With A Bit of Flair

While I can brag a bit that I helped deliver our third daughter at home - unexpectedly - I don’t think that story tops this one. And in response, that was a smart move by the airline, I’d say! Most of the time, babies enter the world with less drama. I wonder, though, if you have [...]

Touching Lives

We recently received this encouraging note from a listener: “I began listening to the Focus on the Family daily broadcast a couple of years ago. At the time, my wife and I lived about thirty minutes from the Air Force base at which I worked, and I would tune in to your program every morning during [...]
