You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today.

Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh, and today's program features a compelling conversation featuring our own

Dr. James Dobson and his longtime friend and colleague, Gary Bauer.

Now, Gary, of course, is senior vice president of public policy here at the James Dobson Policy

Center. He's a regular guest co-host here at the James Dobson Policy Center.

He's a regular guest co-host here on the Family Talk broadcast and is also the host of the Defending Faith, Family and Freedom podcast. Years ago, Dr. and Gary Bauer got together and wrote a book

called Children at Risk back in 1990. And in that writing, they warned about the cultural shifts

threatening America's foundational

values. Though written over three decades ago, their insights remain strikingly relevant today,

even prophetic, if you will, as they addressed what they termed the civil war of values

in our society. Dr. Dobson and Gary Bauer examine how the gradual removal of Judeo-Christian principles from our culture has led to a concerning trend in how children are educated and influenced.

As they noted, children are the prize to the victor in this ongoing cultural battle.

So today here on Family Talk, let's revisit an update that Dr. and Gary recorded recently on this thought-provoking

discussion about the spiritual challenges facing American families and the importance of protecting

our children's hearts and minds right now on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's

Family Talk.

Doctor?

Today I have the privilege of talking to one of my closest friends and a colleague that I've

been working with in the battle to protect and preserve the family for many, many years.

You know him.
