Well, hello everyone. I'm James Dobson and you're listening to Family Talk, a

listener supported ministry. In fact, thank you so much for being part of that

support for James Dobson Family Institute. Well, welcome to Family Talk.

I'm Roger Marsh, and you may have heard that yesterday was Giving Tuesday.

Well, on behalf of Dr. James Dobson and all of us here at the Dr. James Dobson

Family Institute, we want to thank you.

Everyone who supported us with a thoughtful financial

gift as we worked toward meeting that $75,000 matching gift that was in place yesterday.

Now we are a listener supported broadcast outreach and we would not be able to make

family talk possible without your generous financial support and your prayers as well.

So for everyone who made a donation yesterday on Giving Tuesday, thanks so much. Now on today's program

we're going to hear a dynamic presentation given by our own Gary Bauer. He

recently made this presentation in Colorado Springs, which is also the

headquarters of Family Talk.

We'll hear him share some historical background on important Christian movements

from yesterday and why we need to stand together today. Of course Gary Bauer is the senior vice president of

public policy here at the Dr James Dobson Family Institute. He's also the

host of the podcast here at JDFI called defending faith, family, and freedom.

Gary is married to his wife Carol, and together they have three grown children.

So without further ado, let's join Gary Bauer, right now, right here, on Family Talk. Thank you over there. I know how Eric feels I got a partial standing ovation over there

Rana Reagan told me once that if I was ever introduced to give a speech and I got a standing ovation that I probably should sit down right away because I had nowhere to go butt down after that.

So he gave me no advice on partial standing ovations, so I'm just going to stay up here and carry on.
