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

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today.

As men, we need accountability. We need encouragement. And we need to model for our sons and daughters

what it means to be a godly man. And wherever we are in process, that's where we got to begin

and move forward in our lives. Well, welcome to Family Talk with psychologist and best-selling author, Dr. James Dobson.

I'm Roger Marsh, and today we're continuing our conversation with Dr. Gene Getz, his landmark book,

The Measure of a Man, 20 attributes of a godly man, has inspired readers worldwide since 1974.

That's right. The 50th anniversary of that book was last year. Dr. Getz founded the

Fellowship Bible Church movement after spending two decades as a professor at Moody Bible Institute

and Dallas Theological Seminary. He's the author of more than 60 books and hosted the daily

renewal radio program for 24 years. His crowning achievement, the Life

Essential Study Bible, features 1,500 principles to live by and over 250 hours of video teaching,

making scripture accessible for a new generation. Last time on the program, Dr. Dobson and Dr. Gets

began discussing what it means to be a godly man. And today,

we'll dive deeper into that conversation here on this special edition of Dr. James Dobson's

family talk.

Gene, I loved our time together yesterday. We've got so much in common.

But I want to go back to something you said.

You brought it up right at the end of the program last time, that as you look back on all

your accomplishments and the things that the Lord has done through you, that the one thing

that you wish you could have done better

is spend more time at home.
