Summary

Dr. Owen Strachan announces his new role as the Senior Director of the Dobson Culture Center at the James Dobson Family Institute. He emphasizes the importance of Christians being salt and light in a fallen world, rather than withdrawing from it. The Dobson Culture Center aims to assist Christians in living based on a biblical worldview, provide biblical insights into marriage and parenting, engage cultural issues, help believers understand and oppose ungodly systems, equip parents to disciple their children, help Christians engage culture without becoming entangled by it, and proclaim the joy of the transforming gospel to fellow sinners.
