Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry.

In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute.

Well, welcome back to Family Talk.

I'm Roger Marsh, and on today's program, we're going to hear part two of a fascinating

conversation featuring Dr. Dobson and his guest, Dr. O.S. Hawkins, former pastor of the historic

First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and President Emeritus of Guidestone Financial Resources. On our last broadcast, Dr. Hawkins

shared about his ministry helping retired pastors through Mission Dignity, and he introduced his

popular series of code books that help believers dive deeper into Scripture. Today, he'll take us into the

powerful story of Nehemiah, showing us how this ancient tale of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls

offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking a fresh start in life.

Now, these insights come from Dr. Hawkins' book, The Nehemiah Code.

It's never too late for a new beginning.

Through the story of Nehemiah, we'll discover timeless principles for starting

fresh, whether we're rebuilding relationships, restoring faith, or seeking a new direction in life.

Dr. Hawkins will remind us that with God's help, genuine transformation is always possible.

And now let's rejoin Dr. James Dobson for part two of this inspiring conversation

here on Family Talk. Dr. Hawkins, thank you so much for being with us again today. I love the

program we did together last time. And we've got a lot more to talk about related to your book,

the Nehemiah Code. It's never too late for a new beginning. And what I love about this book

is that I really love the story of Nehemiah. But I want to take that story back before you start with the book to how we pick

up Nehemiah in Babylon. He was a cup bearer for the king, wasn't it?

To the king Artaxerxes, yes. And the beautiful thing about Nehemiah, what I like to remind
