Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute,

supported by listeners just like you. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast division at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy here at JDFI and hosted the Defending Faith Family and Freedom Podcast.

Now, I'm sure you know that this year on July 4th, 2026, we're going to celebrate the 250th birthday of the founding

of the United States of America. And I hope everybody realizes, although we live in crazy times,

but this country was built on a actual biblical idea, a moral idea. It's smack in the middle of the Declaration of Independence.

It's in the second paragraph, it says,

we hold these truths to be self-evident.

That all men, it means all mankind, ladies,

that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator.

That's the God of the Bible. It doesn't say we're all created equal and endowed by their creator. That's the God of the Bible. It doesn't say we're all

created equal and endowed by our government. It says we're all created equal and endowed by our

creator with certain unannual rights, among these rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of

happiness. But it wouldn't be a good 250th birthday if we didn't in our celebrations

acknowledge the central idea of America and the importance of the Christian faith and the importance

of the Bible in the kind of country that we have. Well, we have a guest today who is a woman

that understands all these issues,

and she is putting on with some of the groups she's associated with just a fantastic event.

And we wanted you to know about this event because, in its own way, it may be one of the most

important things that happens this year.
