I cant get enough of Dr James Dobson

I was so lucky to find a local Christian Radio station 107.3 (Australia, QLD) which includes a daily Family First show with Dr James Dobson.

Great podcasts for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge to becoming a better parent ... to help you raise a great, happy and wonderful family.

These podcasts will ensure that you will never live another day without trying to make your life better.

A must for anyone wishing to bring some positivity into their lives.
