Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a 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. I'm Roger Marsh. What were the last words Jesus spoke before he died on the cross? Well, most of us could probably name one or two, but how about all seven? On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson sits down with Stu Epperson Jr., founder of the Truth Network, to explore what Jesus was communicating in those

final sacred moments.

Stu Epperson, Jr. comes from a remarkable legacy of Christian broadcasting.

His father, Stuart Epperson, Sr., co-founded Salem Communications, and was named one of America's

25 most influential evangelicals by Time magazine. Following in those footsteps,

Stu Jr. founded the Truth Network in 2000, which now broadcasts Bible-based teaching across

North Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, and Utah. He's also the author of the book, The Last Words of

Jesus, First Steps to a richer life.

And on today's Family Talk broadcast, he and Dr. Dobson will dig into the profound meaning behind what Jesus said from the cross.

Stu Epperson, who's the founder and president of the Truth Network. He has, I think it's 12 radio stations in how many states?

We are in four states right now. Yeah, and growing. And growing, just trying to reach folks with a good news.

One of them or several of them are in Central Iowa and Salt Lake City and, of course, in North Carolina.

And Stu also is a coach and mentor for others playing the game of basketball.

You're about 6'4, aren't you?

Well, I'm 6'6, same height as my dad.

But, you know, I tell everyone I'm 6.6, 240 pounds, mostly muscle. But then everyone smiles at, but, you know, I tell everyone I'm six, six, two hundred and forty pounds, mostly muscle.

But then everyone smiles at that part, you know, so.

Well, I've known your dad for a long time, too.

He is one of the founders of the Salem Network, Salem Communications, I believe they

call themselves.
