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

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

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

I'm Roger Marsh.

You know, when life throws us a curveball, how do we respond?

Do we crumble under pressure, or do we find strength through faith?

Today on Family Talk, we're going to continue a powerful presentation from our own Dr. James Dobson

that has held up well over the years, even turned out to be somewhat prophetic.

It was originally delivered in 1983, and it remains remarkably relevant even today.

Dr. Dobson will explore the vital connection between emotional stability and spiritual strength.

timeless presentation called Faith Must Be Tough right here on Dr. James Dobson's family talk.
