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.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh.

In an age where entertainment bombards our children from every angle,

how can parents protect their families while still enjoying quality media?

Well, today's Family Talk guest has spent decades answering that question.

His name is Dr. Ted Bear, and he's the founder and publisher of movie guide. He's also

chairman of the Christian Film and Television Commission. A noted critic, educator, and media expert,

Dr. Ted Bear has dedicated his life to redeeming the values of media while teaching families

discernment in their entertainment choices. Dr. Bear's influence extends from Hollywood to parliaments worldwide,

and his research on media's impact is unmatched. But perhaps his greatest credential is this.

He led his own father to faith in Jesus Christ and raised children who now raised their own kids

to love the Lord as well. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Ted Baird joins Dr. James Dobson to discuss his

devotional book called Real to Real, which is R-E-E-L and R-E-A-L, that uses quality

films to teach biblical truths to families.

So let's listen in now to part two of this conversation about becoming media-wise here on Family Talk.

Ted, I really enjoyed talking to you last time about the culture, what's happened to it,

and the dangers that all of our kids are under, you know, just what they hear in the neighborhood,

what they hear in public schools, sometimes what they hear in Christian schools is not helpful

to them.

That's an overstatement, but you know what I mean.

And you're trying to make a difference, and you're out there working in a very pagan world.
