0:00.0	Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.
0:08.1	I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.
0:19.2	Well, welcome to Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh, and today here on the broadcast, we're in for a special treat.
0:27.3	Pastor Rob McCoy, senior pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks, California,
0:32.8	recently gave a presentation to a gathering sponsored by the James Dobson Family Institute, and during this

2:03.5	I'm a California condor. I'm an endangered species. A conservative in California. There were more,
