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.

Welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. If you would argue that there's a war on men

in our culture, and over the next couple of days here on Family Talk, we're going to

hear from our co-host Gary Bauer and his special guest, Dr. Owen Strand, discussing Dr.

Strand's newest book entitled The War on Men. Why society hates them and why we need them.

As you know in our culture today, men and masculinity are under attack like at no time in our

nation's history. And manliness in general is oftentimes associated with being dangerous

or destructive, but God does have a divine place for men in today's world. Our guest today

is Dr. Owen Strand, who is the provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible

Theological Seminary. He's also a senior fellow with the Family Research Council as well.

Dr. Strand also served for six years at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He earned his

PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has authored several books, including

Re-enchanting Humanity, Christianity and Wokeness, and Risky Gospel. Dr. Strand is married

to his lovely wife, Bethany, and together they are raising three children. So let's join

our guest, Dr. Owen Strand and co-host Gary Bauer for today's special edition of Family Talk.

Well, hello everyone and welcome to Family Talk. I'm Gary Bauer, the senior vice president

of public policy at the James Stopson Family Institute and also the host of defending

faith family and freedom podcasts. Here at JDFI, I'm honored to serve alongside of my good friend,

Dr. James Stopson and the whole JDFI team. We got a great guest today with an important message.

Our guest is Dr. Owen Strand. He's written a new book. We'll nail this down in a second,
