Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk Dr. James Dobson

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his awe-inspiring discussion with Joni Eareckson Tada about her latest book, The Practice of the Presence of Jesus. Joni shares the trials and difficulties she has endured throughout her life, and explains how God took her pain and transformed it into a place of resurrection and hope. 2 Corinthians 4:11 says, “For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that His life may also be revealed in our mortal body.”

You’ve most likely heard of Joni Eareckson Tada, but for those who have not, at the tender age of 17, she had a diving accident that left her as a quadriplegic. Now at age 74, Joni has faced and overcome so many obstacles, including cancer. God has used her mightily! Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with his dear friend, Joni, about the life and lessons the Lord has taught her. She shares how her diving accident could have been the ruin of her entire existence, but instead, God used that tragedy to begin what she calls, “His greatest use of my life.”

In the face of great persecution, Christians are called to stand strong on the truth of God’s Word. Joshua 1:9 declares, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

In our world today, we continue to experience a steady erosion of our Judeo-Christian values. On today’s special edition of Family Talk, we’ll hear from our own Mrs. Shirley Dobson about her time as chair of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, and the vitality of prayer in a Christian’s life, “for such a time as this.” Hebrews: 4:16 says, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
