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.

As Christians, we know that the goodness of God is all around us.

He meets us on the mountaintop.

He guides us through the valley.

The Lord performs miracle after miracle and shows up in our lives at just the right moment.

But as time goes on, our faith can sometimes become stagnant,

and we can grow a little bit complacent, just going through the motions.

Well, on today's edition of Dr. James

Dobson's family talk, our guest to the program is Jen Lilly, and Jen is a very, very gifted

author. She's an actress. She's an artist. I'll call her an advocate, too, because she's a parent

and the mother of four. And she has written a brand new resource to encourage readers to leave behind

complacency and to pursue bold, courageous faith in Christ instead. Before we dive in a little bit,

let me introduce Jen Lilly to you as our family talk listening audience, award-winning actress,

as I mentioned, singer and producer as well as philanthropist. You have seen her in various movies

on the Hallmark Channel, Great American Family Channel. She will portray Gloria Stewart in the upcoming

biopic called Jimmy, and we all know who that's about. That's set for release later this year.

But most of all, Jen Lilly has a deep passion for the Lord and his word and growing deeper with him every day. She just released a devotional not too long ago called Wake Up Your Faith, 365 daily encounters with Jesus, and that will be the topic of a lot of our conversation for today. Jen Lilly, welcome to Dr. James Dobson's family talk. We're so grateful to have you on the program, and especially I know Dr. Dobson would have loved to just give you a hug and say, Jen, I'm so proud of you for the work that you're doing. So welcome to our broadcast today. Thank you so much for having me on. It's just very humbling to be on the show. Of course, I grew up listening to Dr. Dobson, and I'm just so honored to be here. Yeah, that's really moving for you.

I mean, he had that impact on people, and I know that when we were younger, I was in college when my mom and dad introduced me to Dr. Dobson. My mom was a public school teacher, and she taught at a local elementary school where they brought in his film series, and she said, you really ought to come by and see it and I remember driving by the school as a weeknight they were showing it in the school library and I couldn't

get in because it was packed I mean there were people streaming out into the hallways and it was just I thought

who is this James Dobson guy but the more I grew in my faith the more I began to realize my parents are

listening to him and reading his books and they they are basically doctors parenting me, too. So from generation, as obviously I've got
