Dr. James Dobson: A Legacy Remembered

On this special memorial edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh marks the one-year anniversary of Dr. James Dobson’s passing by revisiting a celebration of his remarkable life and ministry. Recorded at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Fox News commentator Todd Starnes sits down with Dr. Dobson to look back on 40 years in Christian broadcasting. Dr. Dobson recalls leaving a comfortable career at the USC School of Medicine to begin a small ministry with little more than faith, a two-room office and a calling to strengthen America’s families. He shares the story of the ministry’s early financial struggles, an extraordinary answer to prayer, and the growth of a radio program that would eventually reach thousands of stations and listeners around the world. Dr. Dobson also discusses the importance of Christian engagement in the culture, religious liberty, the sanctity of life and the enduring role of Christian radio. Above all, Dr. Dobson reflects on what he considered the greatest purpose of his ministry: introducing people to Jesus Christ and helping parents pass their faith to the next generation.
