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 today to Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk.

I'm Gary Bauer, Senior Vice President for Public Policy at the Dobson Policy and Culture Center,

I'm also the host of the Defending Faith Family and Freedom Podcast.

It's no secret that biblically based marriage is under fire.

It's under attack and our culture today.

And husbands and wives that dedicate themselves to each other

and bring children into the world face a lot of challenges.

There's a lot of people in government and the popular culture

that think they know how to raise our children better than we do.

And so when you bring children into the world, it's a blessing, but it's also a challenge.

Now, think for a moment if the children have special needs. And I know many of you out there

are in that situation. Well, then what goes on in the family can even seem like a battlefield.

And if the family has two special needs children, you can imagine what a home can deal with

and what a mother and father have to face every day.

My guest today knows what it's like to experience this kind of challenge, this kind

of spiritual warfare. And yet the challenges they have faced have made their marriage and family

actually stronger. They have grown to become the kind of everyday heroes.

We love to feature here on Family Talk.

Carson and Torrey Beach are with me today on Family Talk.

For many years, they have been blessed by the teachings and ministry of our founder, Dr. James
