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 to Family Talk. I'm Gary Bauer. I'm glad to have you with us on the show today.

You know, this is going to shock some of you. Now, you might want to sit down. There are actually a lot of Christians in Washington, D.C., in all branches of government.

Throughout American history, God has used these men and women to the benefit of our country

and to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Now, look, being a Christian, and I'm one of them, being a Christian in Washington, D.C.

can be a challenge.

This is a city filled with people committed to the getting of power and keeping of power.

That's not really consistent with the message of Jesus Christ.

But nonetheless, it's possible to overcome all that, but you almost have to be a saint to do it.

And we have one of those saints today as our guests on family talk. His name is Mark

Johansen. He's a third generation military veteran whose desire to lead boldly has been greatly

rewarded over the years. Wherever his journey took him, Mark has served our Lord, his family, and our country admirably, going above

and beyond the call of duty. Mark is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy. He earned a

Bachelor of Science and Biology. He served as Deputy director and intelligence officer

for the defense support program in Denver.

Mark eventually went on to earn his master's of science

and atmospheric sciences from Creighton University in Omaha.

This degree in physics centered on satellite remote sensing.

Don't go to sleep out there.

This is all important stuff, folks.
